Being drafted into the Ontario Hockey League and playing Junior A hockey allowed him the opportunity to be exposed to great fitness coaches and physiotherapists. Having had his fair share of injuries himself during his time playing, he learned first-hand what it takes to rehabilitate an injury, then optimize the body’s performance to get back to playing at a high level. Ian’s educational background makes him strongly believe that the human body’s health depends on multiple factors including, but not limited to, optimized sleep, healthy nutrition, proper stress management, movement and exercise. His evidence-based practice combines patient education, manual therapy and exercise prescription to achieve optimal wellness.
