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 learned 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

En tant que physiothérapeute avec plusieurs années d’expérience en entraînement personnel, Ian a consacré sa carrière professionnelle à apprendre comment réhabiliter les blessures et optimiser la santé du corps.

Ayant lui-même subi plusieurs blessures au cours de sa carrière sportive, il a appris de première main ce qu’il faut pour réhabiliter une blessure et optimiser la performance physique pour revenir à un niveau élevé.

Grâce à sa formation, Ian est convaincu que la santé du corps humain dépend de plusieurs facteurs, incluant (sans s’y limiter) un sommeil optimisé, une alimentation saine, une bonne gestion du stress, le mouvement et l’exercice. Sa pratique, fondée sur des données probantes, combine l’éducation du patient, la thérapie manuelle et la prescription d’exercices pour atteindre un bien-être optimal.

Ian poursuit son perfectionnement professionnel à travers plusieurs formations post-graduées, incluant :

• 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
