"
As a therapist and a business owner, I’m always up for a challenge!"
After graduating in 1996 from the School of Physiotherapy at Dalhousie University, I accepted a full-time physiotherapy position at Roseway Hospital in Shelburne. My choice of a position near friends and family in central Nova Scotia and the Annapolis Valley had an unexpected and happy bonus, for it was at Roseway that I met my future wife, and one year later I became a “local boy” by marriage.
To broaden and deepen my physiotherapy experience, I accepted professional opportunities at Yarmouth Regional Hospital and Dartmouth General Hospital. My wife and I then returned home to Shelburne with our young son to start Shelburne Physiotherapy in 2002. With hard work, long hours and faith in God, we set out to achieve our twofold goal: to restore our Shelburne neighbours to a healthy lifestyle and to build a viable business that would benefit the community. After only five astounding weeks in business, thanks to the wholehearted acceptance of our clinic and our philosophy by our Shelburne neighbours, our business thrived. Of course the first part of our goal is ongoing.
Since graduation it has been one of my personal priorities to continually upgrade my knowledge in the practice of physiotherapy. I have a keen interest in treating spinal problems, particularly the neck and upper back, and foot/ankle injuries. Since 1996 I have completed three levels of manual therapy and in 2006 I was awarded a certificate in Spinal Manual Therapy from Manual Concepts, Perth Australia. I have completed three levels of acupuncture after studying with the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada and an introductory course in muscle imbalances offered by Dr. Shirley Sahrmann. Recently I attended a Matheson course to become a certified Functional Capacity Evaluator.

"I find the practice of physiotherapy highly satisfying. It combines my interest in medical science, fitness and health with working one-on-one with people to improve their quality of life."
I graduated from Dalhousie University with a Bachelor of Science in 2001. As an undergraduate, I particularly enjoyed the study of human anatomy and physiology and the interpersonal rewards of my part-time work with mentally-challenged adults in small options homes. A personal training course further inspired my interest in health and fitness. All of these experiences combined to lead me to a career in physiotherapy.
I attended the Dalhousie School of Physiotherapy and graduated in 2005. I met Terry while still a physiotherapy student, during my clinical training placement at Roseway Hospital. I visited Shelburne Physiotherapy and came to appreciate the welcoming and professional atmosphere there. After graduation, that experience and a family connection in the area led me to join the clinic.
Since joining Shelburne Physiotherapy in 2005, I have benefited greatly from the opportunity to collaborate with a massage therapist as well as another physiotherapist. I continue to study and develop my knowledge and skills. I have completed the first two levels of manual therapy and a course in acupuncture, as well as courses addressing the shoulder, neck and back. I hope to take a course in muscle imbalances in the near future.

"After volunteering at Shelburne Physiotherapy and seeing the challenging and diverse range of conditions physiotherapists diagnose and treat I knew that physiotherapy was the profession for me!"
I completed my undergraduate education at Saint Mary’s University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science with a major in Biology in May 2007. While completing my degree I began the daunting process of deciding which health profession was the best fit for me. Volunteering at Shelburne Physio made that an easy decision.
I graduated from Dalhousie University with a Master of Physiotherapy in the fall of 2009. As part of my educational preparation I completed internships in cardiorespiratory, neurological rehab, pediatrics, and orthopedic physiotherapy. I was even fortunate enough to work with a clinical instructor who does physiotherapy for dogs!
I am committed to furthering my education and have completed two Neurodevelopmental Therapy (NDT) courses, with a focus on assessment and treatment of infants and children with gross motor delays. I have also taken an Acupuncture course and Level 1 Manual and Manipulative Therapy. I plan to complete Levels 2 and 3 of all three disciplines. While my present focus is on orthopedics, I am always looking for a challenge and to expand my knowledge base.
I returned to my hometown and began working at Shelburne Physiotherapy in October 2009. I have enjoyed the supportive and friendly atmosphere while working with therapists and staff members truly invested in improving clients’ quality of life. Working closely with other therapists has greatly increased my appreciation for a team-based approach to treatment. I look forward to the many challenges and rewards of treating such a diverse clientele.

“Massage therapy is a natural complement to my longtime practice of martial arts. The essence of both disciplines is respect for others and each requires knowledge of anatomy, body mechanics, injury prevention and treatment.”
Following my graduation from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in Halifax in 2004, my wife and I moved to Shelburne. I worked in several massage therapy settings until I happily joined Shelburne Physiotherapy in 2006.
During the clinical portion of my training, I focused on the rehabilitation of neurological conditions and received a certificate in the treatment of chronic pain. Since graduation, I have continued my education, focusing on courses on myofascial release techniques taught by leaders in the field.
I have completed advanced courses in myofascial release with Barry Jenings, focusing on dysfunction of the lumbar spine, cervical spine and shoulder region, and another course with Peter Stuart based on the myofascial release techniques of John Barnes. I have also taken two courses in cervical spine and pelvic joint mobilization through muscle energy techniques, a natural supplement to myofascial treatments. Most recently, I became certified in hot stone massage and I hope to take courses in visceral manipulation and acupuncture.

“I encounter many new and challenging conditions in my practice. I believe rehabilitation massage is an exciting and effective form of treatment with much to offer clients, and it is one of the reasons I became interested in the field of massage therapy and ultimately decided to become a Registered Massage Therapist.”
I began my studies in January 2007, when I enrolled in the fast track program at the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy. I was fortunate to study under many wonderful massage therapists and was able to participate in various volunteer opportunities, including the firefighter competition, the diabetes cycling challenge, group homes, the IWK youth center and the teachers’ union.
After graduating in June 2008, I became a licensed massage therapist after successfully passing an extensive practical exam in Toronto and a written exam in Ottawa. In August 2008, wishing to remain close to family in Shelburne and Liverpool, I joined the staff of Shelburne Physiotherapy as a therapeutic massage therapist.
I have a special interest in rehabilitation and the treatment of chronic pain with massage techniques focused on reducing scar tissue and pain and increasing range of motion. While in school, I earned a certificate in pregnancy massage, focusing on pre- and post-pregnancy treatment, home care and infant massage. I am a certified practitioner in hot stone massage. In the future, I plan to gain more knowledge and experience with myofascial release techniques.
