My Experience:
In addition to having 15 years of practical experience providing therapies including joint manipulations (also referred to as chiropractic adjustments), I also use my additional soft-tissue/myofascial training to treat patients using a functional approach. I have taken additional training in Active Release Technique® (A.R.T.), Graston® and Trigenics® so that I can individualize the functional treatment of many conditions.
I have been proud to serve the people of Ottawa and have had significant experience treating people of all walks of life including desk workers, amateur and professional athletes (including two seasons with Ottawa’s professional Canadian football team) and those with workplace and automotive injuries. In addition to treating specific injuries I also take a whole-body wellness approach to my patient’s issues.
I maintain an active lifestyle and enjoy a variety of sports including snowboarding, cycling and ultimate frisbee. I have proudly competed at the Canadian Ultimate Championships on 5 occasions in the past and recently competed at the 2022 World Ultimate Masters Club Championships in Limerick, Ireland. I have also been involved in many volunteer and outreach activities including acting on behalf of the Canadian Chiropractic Association’s government relations committee on Parliament Hill, written return to sport policies for athletes who have sustained concussions, and I have provided several public health talks to a variety of Canadian-based organizations. Topics have included concussion recognition and management, exercise and health, reducing injuries in the workplace and in sport
Above all else, I look forward to each and every patient experience. One of the greatest rewards on my professional career has been the amazing relationships I have had with all of my patients. I look forward to working with you towards reaching your goals in health!
