As an Athletic Therapist, Chris has had the opportunity to work with high school, private school, college, university and professional athletes ranging for hockey, basketball and football, all the way to kiteboarding and skateboarding. As well, Chris has treated patients using massage therapy within the University Health Network in Toronto and Toronto Rehab. Being able to blend his Athletic Therapy training with his massage therapy training, Chris is able to identify restrictions in the soft tissues and joints that can and/or may create movement dysfunction, especially to those who are active in sport.
Chris received his Bachelor of Applied Health Science, specializing in Athletic Therapy from Sheridan College in 2007 and received his certification from the Canadian Athletic Therapist Association in 2009. Chris’ background in Athletic Therapy allows him to help his clients during all stages of the injury and healing process. In his continued pursuit of learning, Chris went on to study Massage Therapy at Sutherland-Chan and received his Diploma in Massage Therapy in June of 2010. He has over a decade of experience in strength and conditioning and sports related training and rehabilitation.
As a rehabilitative clinician, Chris helps his patients and clients manage their injuries while staying as active as possible to minimize any losses in strength and conditioning during the recovery period. In his treatments, Chris combines hydrotherapy, myofascial techniques, trigger point therapies, Swedish massage techniques, with joint mobilizations and therapeutic and/or corrective exercise programs to help his clients return to activity as soon as possible. Chris’ focus is always on improving function, performance, confidence, and results, while attempting to foster an environment that allows life long progression.
