About Me
[edit | edit source]

I'm a Registered Physiotherapist with pt Health in the Greater Toronto Area in Canada. I work primarily with an orthopaedic population, but like most manual therapists, I often find myself dabbling in the areas of chronic pain management and neuro rehab.

I am currently developing my manual therapy skills through the Orthopaedic Division of the CPA in order to obtain my Diploma of Advanced Orthopaedic Manual & Manipulative Physiotherapy and become an FCAMPT. I'm also interested in the areas of pain science, as well as vestibular and post-concussion rehabilitation.
