Amar graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor’s of Kinesiology, and Masters Degree of Physical Therapy. Amar has also received his Certification in Dry Needling by Acupuncture Canada. Amar has a keen interest in treating injuries related to sports, orthopedics, and MVA’s. He also enjoys helping patients with everyday pains and aches, injuries sustained at work, and injuries suffered outside of work. Amar also has a keen interest in helping those that are retired and want to be able to enjoy their retirement and stay active. Amar’s approach to therapy is to provide patient-centered evidence-based care through education, manual therapy, dry needling, soft tissue work, and exercise prescription. His treatment is rooted in providing one-on-one care and spending the necessary time to formulate a plan of action alongside his clients to achieve their goals. He’s a continuous learner, always looking to advance his skills and knowledge. Amar’s interest in physiotherapy began from his own personal experience with injuries and rehab through sports. He was fascinated by the way his physiotherapist was able to use multiple different techniques to get him game-ready as quickly as possible. From there, he began looking into the steps required to become a physiotherapist himself. Amar is fluent in English and Punjabi, and can serve patients in both languages. When he is not in the clinic, Amar is either enjoying a good book, playing basketball, golfing, or spending time with his his dog Oliver.
