À propos de Ian
Dans ses motsIan is originally from Prince Edward Island. He graduated from Dalhousie University in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy. After completing his degree, Ian was a clinical instructor in Dalhousie’s undergraduate physiotherapy program. He successfully completed his Advanced Diploma of Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy in 2004 and became certified in Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) in 2008. In 2003, Ian left his clinical practice in Halifax to work as a physiotherapist for the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil. For four years, Ian travelled around the globe with the touring show, Alegria, treating injuries of the 60 elite acrobats and helping them achieve their amazing skills.
During his time with Cirque du Soleil, he was exposed to Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT). Developed and widely used in the United States, MAT is a “hands-on” treatment system that seeks to identify and address muscle imbalances. Ian became the first physiotherapist in western Canada to become a certified MAT Specialist (2010). In addition to his many other skills, he has found MAT to profoundly improve his success in treating injuries. Ian is authorized by the Physiotherapy Alberta College to refer patients for diagnostic imaging tests if required.

His special interest is treating compensation patterns that occur in the lower body after injury as well as complex spinal and shoulder injuries.

“Ian Goodwin changed my life. He had confidence in his ability to get me up and running again when I didn’t think I could. I have gone from having a hard time walking and doing stairs, wearing two knee braces to being able to run brace and pain free!”

“The best physiotherapist ever! Ian changed my husband's life. No back surgery was needed because Ian cares so much about his patients and the techniques he uses are amazing- IMS in particular helped my hubby get strong again. I highly recommend this clinic and will never go elsewhere. Reduced parking at Centennial for 2 hours allows patients to park with convenience!”Lire la suiteRéduire
