Peter Kosheluk holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Saskatchewan, which he completed in 2006. Since that time he has focused on **musculoskeletal physiotherapy**, **working with individuals across the age spectrum who are experiencing pain or dysfunction**, whether it be **acute or chronic in nature**. He has **experience with injuries affecting all areas of the body and stemming from a variety of causes**. His post-graduate training has involved a variety of fields including **manual therapy (certifications from Canadian and Australian programs)**, **movement analysis & training**, **dry needling** (certifications from South African, British, and Canadian institutions), and **male pelvic health**. His treatment philosophy is one of collaboration with a focus on helping individuals determine the source(s) of their complaint, so that they can actively work to eliminate or alleviate it, in order to function at their greatest potential. He is a **firm believer that prevention of re-injury and active management are vital components of any rehabilitation program**. As such, he incorporates a thorough assessment of the problem at hand (including movement analysis globally & locally at the area of complaint) and education regarding such with advice on relevant lifestyle and activity modifications. **Exercise prescription (complaint-specific regional & pertinent global exercises)**, **manual therapy (joint mobilizations & manipulations**, **soft tissue mobilization, nerve mobilization)** and **dry needling** are also integrated into care as dictated by the individual’s situation at hand and their goals for recovery. Peter believes that a holistic approach to recovery is the most beneficial and effective strategy and also appreciates opportunities to work in collaboration with other care providers. A team approach works best!
