MEET OUR WHITE ROCK/SOUTH SURREY PHYSIOTHERAPISTS
Kevin graduated from UBC in 2005 with his physical therapy degree. Since then he has taken a variety of courses in manual therapy and myofascial release from the Orthopedic Division, the Canadian College of Osteopathy and the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy. Kevin has also taken various higher-level physiotherapy courses with Andrews University in Michigan including medical imaging and medical screening for physical therapists, advanced statistics and research courses, as well as advanced exercise physiology which included a Scandinavian approach to exercise called Medical Exercise Therapy.
In 2003, while in physiotherapy school, Kevin acquired a summer job preparing prosections, human anatomical dissections used in teaching about the musculoskeletal system. This experience gave Kevin a more comprehensive feel for human anatomy that he carried forward to post-graduate training and clinical work in manual therapy and dry needling.
In 2014 - 2016 Kevin was fortunate to have completed his Introductory and Advanced courses in Dry Needling/IMS with Myopain Seminars, a group based out of Bethesda Maryland just outside of Washington DC. They have a fantastic and comprehensive program with connection to both Dr. Chan Gunn, the Vancouver-based founder of IMS, and Dr. Janet Travell, the mother of modern Trigger Point Theory and the personal physician to JFK.
In his leisure time, Kevin used to enjoy weight training, biking, martial arts and snowboarding. Now his leisure time is dedicated to his wife, two children, dog and house so all of his former hobbies have been thrown out the window. Kevin aspires to develop proficiency in new handy hobbies like woodworking but has thus far barely surpassed building a house for his kids' stuffed animals out of Legos.
At Advanced Physiotherapy, Kevin enjoys treating patients with a mix of Manual Therapy, IMS and exercise therapy. He sees patients with a wide array of musculoskeletal conditions, orthopedic surgeries, vertigo/vestibular disorders, chronic pain and arthritis. A significant portion of his caseload also consists of the rehabilitation of neck injuries using the Multi-Cervical Unit (MCU) a machine unique to Advanced Physiotherapy in continental BC.
Overall Advanced physiotherapy is a great clinic with a fantastic staff and wonderful patients. Kevin feels honoured to work here.
