In 2025, Marco earned his post-graduate Diploma of Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy (Dip.AIM) and became a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapists (FCAMPT). This fellowship reflects years of intensive study, mentorship, and rigorous examination, and distinguishes Marco as a clinician with advanced expertise in clinical reasoning, differential diagnosis, and evidence-based care.

Marco distinguishes himself with his high level of clinical reasoning and experience in evidence-based techniques in favour of human anatomy and biomechanics. This makes him a trusted clinician to deliver targeted, individualized treatment, helping patients achieve faster, more meaningful recovery. Marco has a strong belief that through education, manual therapy, and well-developed exercise prescription that every individual can reach a state of physical and mental wellness that creates lifelong confidence and empowerment.
