B Sc Physiotherapy, BFA I feel very fortunate to have found my way to our profession. I thought about it in high school but at the time I was smitten by the arts and pursued a career in dance and theatre. It was fun but I came to my senses in my mid 30s and headed off to physio school at UBC. By that time I was the old guy in my class but honestly loved (almost) every minute of it. In the interim I had explored dance, yoga and fitness and had become a keen mountain guy. I had experienced more injuries than most of my contemporaries. I often joke that my body is my laboratory of dysfunction. There won’t be much that anyone comes to see me with that I have not already experienced. My goal with my clients is to not only help them get through the current injury but to teach them what they need to know to try to prevent the next. Spoiler alert - strength and flexibility are critical. I do give homework. In my work I use IMS, joint manipulation, soft tissue release and exercise to guide you to a state musculoskeletal health.
