THE SHORT VERSION:
Steve founded Dynamic Physiotherapy in 2004 and has spent 21 years building a team that genuinely enjoys working together. Walk into the clinic and you might hear laughter from the back or friendly debates about the staff football pool—it's professional care in an atmosphere where people actually want to be.
His approach? Make it easy to understand. Make it comfortable to ask questions. And build a plan together that actually works for your life.

STEVE'S APPROACH:
Community roots, team culture: Steve and his family moved to Okotoks in 2004. He's coached minor hockey, treated neighbors, and built a clinic where staff genuinely enjoy coming to work. That positive energy shows up in how patients are treated.
Medical care without the medical intimidation: Steve makes complex problems easy to understand. You'll never leave wondering what's going on. If you don't get it, he hasn't explained it well enough.
Lifelong learner, real-world results: From ART to IMS to spinal manipulation, Steve draws on decades of experience and continued education to find the right combination of techniques for YOUR body.
STEVE'S PHILOSOPHY:
"I got into this because I love working with people and I love solving problems. When someone's been everywhere else and nobody can figure it out—that's when it gets interesting."
What this means for you: Steve thrives on the tough cases. The chronic foot pain that won't quit. The back that's been "bad" for years. The injury that keeps coming back. He's seen it, treated it, and probably has a story about someone just like you who got better.
WHEN HE'S NOT IN THE CLINIC:
You'll find Steve on the golf course at D'Arcy Ranch, where he's a proud member of Men's Night. His daughters grew up playing Okotoks minor hockey (yes, he's been that coach on the bench), and over 21 years, many patient relationships have turned into genuine friendships. Fair warning: if you become a patient and join him on the course, you'll be among the many he's beaten. But hey, at least if your back or shoulder acts up mid-round, you'll know exactly who to call.
