Shift Bodywork & Performance Care

388 Carlaw Avenue, Unit 303, Toronto, ON, M4M 2T4

Drew’s passion for Physiotherapy dates back to his years as a teenage athlete. Having sustained several shoulder dislocations playing hockey, he is no stranger to the rehabilitation journey. His personal experience with injury led to many hours spent in physiotherapy clinics where he developed a passion and appreciation for physiotherapy to keep him active and playing the sport he loves. Drew’s goal is to teach his clients the tools to understand and manage their pain so they can return to what keeps them moving. He has worked with a wide range of patients; from grandparents looking to get back to chasing their grandkids to gym goers aiming to crush their personal records. In his day to day practice, Drew takes a global approach to assess and treat movement dysfunctions. He focuses on faulty movement patterns to find and address the source of the problem rather than chasing pain. A typical session with Drew includes movement and muscle testing, manual therapy, and sharing plenty of at-home exercises that will aid progress. A lifelong learner, Drew is constantly in pursuit of new courses, striving to learn different ways to help his patients each day. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Prince Edward Island and a Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto. When he’s not in the clinic, you can often find Drew at a hockey rink coaching or playing, at a live show supporting his favourite bands, or honing his skills at Rock Oasis for his newfound love of bouldering.
