Dan graduated from Queen’s University with a Master’s of Science in Physical Therapy, and before that, received his Bachelor in Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia. Dan’s interest in physiotherapy and athletic performance stemmed from his own experience in competitive sport, and in particular, prolonged injuries which were successfully treated by physiotherapy. He’s passionate about using manual therapy, individualized exercise prescription, and education to work collaboratively with patients to help them reach their goals – whether elite youth athletes or their grandparents.
Dan has completed Level 1 and Level 2 Lower with the Orthopaedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, is certified in AM-IMS dry needling, and has completed the continuing education course Temporomandibular Disorders and Orofacial Pain- Evaluation and Treatment. He also has a clinical interest in the management of vestibular issues and has trained in vestibular rehabilitation with the Dizziness and Balance Rehabilitation Clinic in Victoria. Prior to physiotherapy, Dan worked as an exercise physiologist working with adults with chronic health conditions and in cardiac rehabilitation, as well as a youth basketball coach.
