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'm 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.
