CAMPT Member Profile
BSc(PT), MPhty(Manip)
I started my career as a physiotherapist after completing his Bachelors of Science (Physical Therapy) at the University of Western Ontario. After spending a few years working in hospital, private clinic and university sports therapy environments, I moved overseas to expand my training and work experiences. I completed his Masters of Manipulative Physiotherapy at the University of Otago, and spent several years practicing in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom prior to returning to Canada.
Since settling in Ottawa I've worked in long term care, sports therapy and private practice settings. My goal is to ensure all aspects of a patient’s presentation are accounted for to produce a comprehensive approach. This is achieved this through use of different manual therapies (including mobilizations, soft tissue release, and manipulation), both traditional and non-traditional (dry needling/IMS) acupuncture, patient education and optimized exercise plans. I divide my time between seeing private patients in an aquatic therapy-based clinic environment and working for The Ottawa Hospital’s Rapid Access Clinic – Low Back Pain (RAC LBP) program as an Advanced Practice Provider. Outside of the clinic I provide sideline sports physiotherapy services to the Ottawa Beavers Banshees Rugby Club and competitive youth soccer via Ontario Player Development League (OPDL).
