My passion for optimizing healthy living and physical function comes from my background in sport (sprinting), kinesiology and strength and conditioning. Through my education and experience, I have developed an evidence-based approach to rehabilitation, a strong foundation in exercise prescription and how movement can support recovery.

I’m passionate about using active rehabilitation to help people rebuild their strength, confidence, and function so they can get back to the activities and goals that matter to them. That goal might be getting out of bed and moving comfortably, recovering from a total knee replacement, returning to work or the sport you love.

Whatever your goal, I see physiotherapy as a partnership. I want you to feel heard, understand what is happening with your body, and have the tools and confidence to take an active role in your recovery. Treatment will look different for everyone and may include exercise, manual therapy, education, needling, but always taking the time to listen and understand what you are experiencing. My approach is to adapt treatment to what is most appropriate and therapeutic for you at that stage of your journey, while considering you as a whole person rather than simply treating an injury.
