Chris is a Physiotherapist specializing in soft tissue, manual therapy and exercise techniques in downtown Toronto. He completed his Master of Science in Physiotherapy with honors at the University of Brighton. Prior to that, he completed a Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology with honors at Wilfrid Laurier University and became a Registered Kinesiologist (R.Kin) in 2015.
Chris has an established background in the health and fitness industry. As a Kinesiologist, he was heavily involved in rehabilitating various injuries through strength training and exercise. He also specialized in movement screening for athletes and non-athletes alike through Functional Movement Systems (FMS) professional courses.
Chris has also taken courses in Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT), an inventive assessment and treatment approach, that addresses movement dysfunction and muscle imbalances. Chris focuses on ‘the why’ faulty movement patterns are appearing and uses a system of precise manual muscle tests and individualized treatments to restore joint mechanics and movement imbalances in the body.
Chris is devoted to continuing education and evidence-based treatment and will continue to take courses throughout his career to best serve his patients. Chris enjoys researching the latest evidence-based articles and treatment methods, which has advanced his clinical reasoning, evidence-based practice, and quality of care. He has also taken courses in concussion management and understands how to help these patients get back to normal daily activities. He understands that each patient has individual needs and works with them to achieve their specific goals.
Chris has special interest in shoulder pain, sport-related injury and chronic pain. He utilizes a thorough assessment that looks for all contributing factors causing the pain and not just the source. Chris is passionate about sharing his knowledge, experience, and expertise with his clients. He believes every treatment plan is unique and uses a combination of manual therapy, soft tissue release, medical acupuncture/dry needling, therapeutic cupping, modalities and exercise. He empowers his clients through education and ensures they are equipped with the best tools to manage themselves.
When not at the clinic, Chris enjoys cooking, learning a new song on the guitar, travelling and playing sports.
