Meet Sid Sid’s always been involved with sports and now relishes the opportunity to treat sport-related injuries. During his many years at University, Sid competed as a varsity-level athlete in wrestling and for the Canadian national cricket team. He’s since worked as a physio with the Pandas Hockey club in Edmonton and now supports the Team Canada Sitting Volleyball team. His enthusiasm for working with elite sports drove him to earn the Sports Physiotherapist Certification. Special Interests Sid loves working with knees - specifically ACL injuries. He has extensive training and experience collaborating with orthopaedic surgeons and sports medicine physicians as they diagnose and treat ACL injuries at all stages of rehabilitation. He helped run the Acute Knee Injury Clinic at the Glen Sather Sports Medicine Clinic and the Functional Agility and Strength Training class for athletes with ACL injuries. Beyond the knee, Sid has taken specialized training in vestibular rehab and acute concussion treatment for athletes. Plus, he’s certified in functional dry needling and uses this in support of his active treatment approach. Driving Force I’m passionate about providing patient-centered, evidence-based care and helping my patients build self-efficacy. Getting patients back to meaningful activities and performing to their fullest capabilities drives me as a therapist. Fun Facts Outside the clinic, Sid enjoys playing recreational sports, training for marathon running, and lifting at the gym. He also picked up skiing recently and is excited to improve his skills on the slopes.
