As a registered physiotherapist with years of experience in personal training, Ian has dedicated his professional career to learning ways to rehabilitate injuries and optimize the body’s health. Obtaining his Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa and then following it up with his Master’s degree in Physiotherapy in 2018, Ian serves his local community, helping the people within it reach their health and fitness goals. Ian developed his interest in the field of health and fitness early on when he played elite hockey. Being drafted into the Ontario Hockey League and playing Junior A hockey allowed him the opportunity to be exposed to great fitness coaches and physiotherapists. Having had his fair share of injuries himself during his time playing, he learnt first hand what it takes to rehabilitate an injury, then optimize the body’s performance to get back to playing at a high level. Ian’s educational background makes him strongly believe that the human body’s health depends on multiple factors including, but not limited to, optimized sleep, healthy nutrition, proper stress management, movement and exercise. His evidence-based practice combines patient education, manual therapy and exercise prescription to achieve optimal wellness. Ian is continuing his education by taking multiple post-graduate courses including McKenzie part A – Lumbar Spine, McKenzie part B – Cervical and Thoracic Spine, the Mulligan Concept : Upper Quadrant, Level 1 Cranio-Sacral Therapy with Doreen Killens, PRI (Postural Restoration Institute) – Postural Respiration, AMA (Athletic Movement Assessment) – Upper Extremities. He also completed many strength and conditioning courses including Pinnacle Performance Biomechanics Program and Advanced Biomechanics Program, DTS (Darby Training Systems) Level 1, DTS Hypertrophy, DTS Low Back Course, and many more. Ian is a bilingual therapist who is happy to provide services in French or English
