The Proactive Athlete
3018 New Street Unit 3, Burlington, ON, L7N1M5
Dave and I started The Proactive Athlete in 2010 behind a medical curtain in a single office crammed in the corner of a gym off an industrial road. Now we are a staff of 8, offering true multidisciplinary healthcare in a slow but steady growth model emphasizing long treatment times and one on one care only. I am a father to 3 beautiful children Luke, Maeve and Nolan. My wife Jaclyn (also a sports chiropractor) is the most important person in my life. Aside from exercise, the thing I value most is reading. I want to be considered a book with legs, the same way Charlie Munger’s family refers to him. I completed a degree in kinesiology in 2004, and then chiropractic in 2008. Dave and I both completed a 2 year sports specialty designation, joining 150 other chiropractors across the country with a fellowship in Sports Sciences. I also took acupuncture at McMaster University. I still lecture at the Chiropractic College in Toronto. I used to travel a fair bit and take care of a number of sports teams including 2 pan am games, provincial hockey, and national Tae Kwon Do among others. Since having children my family has taken precedence, though I still have a goal of attending the Olympics as a chiropractor at some point. Until then I am focusing on my mini-Olympians (my kids).
Book this appointment if it is your first time visiting our clinic and you would like to see one of our sports chiropractors. The assessment will be 60 minutes in length, entirely one on one with your chiropractor, and includes your first treatment.
