A.J. is a proud graduate of the Master’s of Physical Therapy program from the University of Saskatchewan. Prior to embarking on his Master’s degree, AJ completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Physiology at Fort Lewis College and returned to BC to work as a Kinesiologist in a variety of clinical settings.
Education, client-centred care and empowerment are at the core of AJ’s clinical philosophy. AJ’s motto is: “Motion is Lotion” - indicating that the more active we are, the better we feel with our overall health. This, in turn, supports living one’s best life - optimal function and minimal pain. He aims to facilitate optimization of his treatments by empowering people to take control over their recovery through the application of movement prescription. He notes that the skills he developed during his time working as a Kinesiologist have helped to enhance the exercise/movement prescriptions that he provides to his clients following each treatment session, enabling them to achieve better treatment outcomes.
A.J. facilitates improvements within an individual's health, function, and pain control by using a combination of exercise prescription, manual therapy (Orthopaedic Division Level 1), electrotherapy (Ultrasound, IFC, Shockwave), and dry needling/intramuscular stimulation (IMS Level 2 - Kinetacore). A.J.’s interests include sports rehabilitation, manual therapy, and active rehabilitation. He is currently nearing completion of a specialist designation in Hand Therapy.
While attending Fort Lewis College, A.J. played running back for the Skyhawks NCAA II football team. AJ is reigning champion of the Intuitive Fantasy Football League and loves the camaraderie of his teammates.
