Read more about Matt:

**You do not need an injury to seek physiotherapy. Many clients book in to optimize their health and build a solid foundation to compliment their activities and lifestyle. By the end of Day 1 with Matt, you will leave with a clear understanding of what you have been dealing with and a plan to help you reach your goals.**

With advanced orthopaedic manual and manipulative physiotherapy training, Matt specializes in hands-on manual therapy treatments consisting of soft tissue release, joint mobilizations, and active release techniques.

Individualized home exercise programs consisting of functional mobility, stretching, strengthening, stability, balance, and/or coordination movements, combined with manual therapy techniques, are what make these treatments so effective.

Matt really knows his way around a needle. Never any pressure of course (as you will improve with or without this tool), but for those open to or requesting needling, he also offers dry needling/intramuscular stimulation (IMS) when indicated. Although he has been fully certified in anatomical acupuncture for over a decade, Matt predominantly uses the dry needling/IMS technique in his clinical practice, as he feels the results are so tangible. Please consider booking in with one of our amazing acupuncturists, to experience it's powerful healing effects.

Whether you’re an athlete or have more of a sedentary lifestyle, Matt’s got your back (quite literally in some cases). For years Matt treated many professional athletes (NHL, AHL, NFL, & CFL) in their respective off-seasons, while practicing in Ontario. Although he’ll always have a space for you athletes and weekend warriors out there, his passion and caseload continue to grow with clients suffering from ongoing musculoskeletal issues. This can include the low back pain you’ve had for years, stiffness in your hips, tension headaches or just that pesky neck/shoulder tension that many of us carry around.

Ultimately, Matt is passionate about giving clients their power back. Too often people stop doing what they love because they think "this is just the way my body is now." It doesn't need to be like that. The experience you get with him will leave you with a whole toolbox of techniques that will serve you long-term. Whether it is a new injury/concern or something you have been dealing with for years, Matt would love the opportunity to guide you along your path to feeling your best.
