Steve has over 25 years of experience working as a Physiotherapist in Vancouver. He earned a Masters of Physiotherapy degree from McMaster University and holds an Advanced Diploma in Manual and Manipulative therapy, the highest certification available to Physiotherapists practicing in Orthopaedics. He is certified in Intramuscular Stimulation, Acupuncture and Craniosacral Therapy. His practice also incorporates his training in Connect Therapy. This training has given him the tools to assess clients as a whole to establish the root cause of symptoms in the body. He is then able to focus treatment on areas of the body which will provide symptom relief and recovery as quickly as possible.
Through his own injuries from running, swimming, playing soccer and snowboarding, he has developed a special interest in foot and knee injuries plus in treating persistent pain. For those with longstanding pain, he incorporates a technique called Pain Reprocessing Therapy. Pain reprocessing therapy involves a series of psychological techniques which rely on the brain’s ability to rewire from a state of high alert to a more regulated state of calm. This along with nervous system regulating techniques allow persistent symptoms to reduce and in many cases fully resolve. He regularly teaches other Physiotherapists these techniques to apply in their practices. Please see this article on Pain Reprocessing for more information.
He considers it a true privilege to partner with people through their healing journey and to see them reach their highest possible level of function.
