Prevention, rehabilitation, and performance form the cornerstone of Mike’s treatment approach. His focus lies in improving foundational movement patterns to improve energy efficiency and increase ease of movement. Coupling this with flexibility and a strong strength base, can bring performance to another level. He is passionate, dedicated, and strives to inspire confidence to play in sport and in life.
Mike has a love for soccer and has played at the Canadian university level in the OUA. He has suffered a multitude of injuries resulting in ACL reconstruction and has experienced first-hand the ramifications of overtraining at a young age. This puts him in a unique position to really understand the rehabilitation process through the body as well as the mind.
Mike has completed his Masters of Physiotherapy at the University of Alberta in 2015 following a Bachelor of Science Honours Kinesiology with a Pre-health Option at the University of Waterloo. He has completed over 552 hours of additional course work since graduating which has led to certifications in advanced dry needling, selective functional movement assessment (SFMA), and Levels 1-3 in advanced orthopedic manual physiotherapy. Mike is also Titleist Performance Institute Certified in order to provide more specific guidance to his fellow golf addicts.
Mike is currently working out of his home clinic in Mahogany as well as part time at PT Kinetics in the south. He has also worked at the University of Calgary Sport Medicine Centre in the past where he was able to and still does collaborate with an extremely skilled team including sport medicine doctors and orthopedic surgeons in order to continue to provide a high standard of care. Outside of the clinic, he enjoys exploring movement in his home gym, playing golf, running, hiking in the mountains, travelling the world, and occasionally dabbles on the piano. Mike is a husband to his favourite person in the world and adventure buddy, Diana and Dad to his little guy Benji.
