Chris completed his Masters of Physical Therapy at UBC after a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of New Brunswick. He has several years of experience working as personal trainer and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. This passion for helping his clients achieve greater health and reach their goals was the driving force that led Chris to pursue a career in physiotherapy. His knowledge and experience allow him to provide progressive and complete rehabilitation to his clients.
Chris has a particular interest in healthy aging and has gained extensive experience in the management of knee and hip osteoarthritis. Chris has also undergone advanced training in the assessment and treatment of lower back and shoulder conditions. His practice is guided by current research, clinical experiences, and patient preference. He views exercise prescription and education as essential components of all treatment plans. Chris believes that people experiencing pain and decreased function should not just be rehabilitated back to their baseline but that their journey should continue to progress to greater health and performance.
Since moving to BC from Nova Scotia in 2006, Chris has embraced everything the Coast Mountains have to offer including skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and trail running. He has completed several ultramarathons and believes that a strong, healthy body allows for optimal engagement in sport and life.
