Riccardo received his BScPT with Distinction in 2007 from the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. In 2010, he completed a post-graduate certificate in Sports Physiotherapy (SPT), and then also completed the McKenzie International Institute’s Accreditation Program in 2017, becoming a MDT Credentialed Therapist. He represented South Africa on three occasions at the World Karate Championships, and this is where he developed an interest in both sports and human biology, which ultimately led him to pursue a career in Physiotherapy. From 2009 to 2019, he ran his own clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa, which specialized in treating Sports Injuries and back/neck pain. During this time he worked with Pro level soccer and rugby teams, as well as elite level sportsmen from all disciplines. He has an “active” approach to treating patients, and believes in empowering patients to be a part of the rehabilitation process. Moving to Canada with his young family in 2018, Riccardo settled in the town of Aurora and has worked in the private setting since. When not at work, Riccardo enjoys spending as much time as possible with his young family. He is an avid outdoorsman, fitness enthusiast and fly-fisherman. He is also fluent in Italian.
