I Received Bsc in Physiotherapy in 2016. I have since worked with a wide array of Patients. I participated in both in boxing and Soccer at a high level in my teenage years and suffered a few injuries along the way.
Understanding the physical and mental strain of injury in sport I have developed a keen interest in helping athletes of all levels return to play post injury.
My main physiotherapy goal is to help patients get back to doing their every day to day activities pain free.
My approach to Physiotherapy has always been patient centred, to tailor a specific individualized program and to get them initially pain free and restore confidence to do tasks without fear of re-injury. My physiotherapy techniques are a combination of manual therapy, exercise therapy, strength training and education and advice.
A great phrase in Physiotherapy that i like is ‘there is nothing wrong with getting strong’
My physiotherapy goals are simple, decrease pain , increase function , increase strength, and prevent future re-injury.
What I like to do with my off time is primarily based around sports. I Play with a local soccer team here in the Vancouver metro soccer league. If I am not playing/watching sports I like to go on walks along the beach and stop to read a book.

My practice is rooted in the gym. I am far from a natural athlete - this didn’t stop me from playing sports growing up (Hockey, Track & Field, Football and Rugby). It wasn’t until I started in the gym did I realize that I didn’t have to be a victim of my circumstance. The gym showed me that I could improve my life by showing up and doing the work.
This power is what I try to bring out in my clients, injured or not, you have the strength within you to improve. A major part of my practice is helping people realize they are more capable than they think through physical movement and skills teaching. The other aspect of what I do involves putting things into perspective. What are your individual day to day requirements? What would you like them to be in the future? I help my clients see what is possible by showing them the path to get where they want to be.
I have worked with: Lifestyle changes, motivational coaching, balance training 55+ populations, Injury rehab, competitive athletes.
