Dr Jaritt Ptolemy has been in clinical practice for over 15 years as a graduate of the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) for over 17 years. Prior to that, he received an Honours Kinesiology degree from McMaster University. Dr. Jaritt has also received a certification as a Medical Acupuncture provider from McMaster University in 2009. Other note-worth certifications are Neurodynamic Solutions (NDS); Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) through the Prague School of Rehabilitation; Specific Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA); Active Release Technique (ART); Advanced Instructor through the Oxygen Advantage; Blood Flow Restriction (BFR). Dr. Jaritt’s approach is to optimize the recovery of each patient. This starts with a thorough assessment in order to achieve an accurate diagnosis, followed by a treatment plan based on patient needs. Dr. Jaritt’s extensive skillset allows for the most appropriate intervention for each patient. He believes patient education is imperative and treatment should be a collaborative effort between patient and practitioner in order to maximize recovery. The most effective treatment plans are when both practitioner and patient work with the bodies needs, which often includes patient homework and behavioral modifications, in addition to treatment. Dr. Jaritt strongly believes that the body wants to find equilibrium in a healthy and pain-free state. Treatment and rehabilitation is often over-complicated and recovery lengthened because basic core tenants of human movement are overlooked. In Dr. Jaritt’s experience, most people have dysfunctional breathing patterns, and just by restoring basic breathing patterns patients often experience significant improvement in symptoms and recovery. For example, functional breathing is imperative for functional movement and signals to the nervous system whether the body is receptive to recovery. Dr. Jaritt is always looking for the low-hanging fruits that will have the greatest impact on patient recovery. Dr. Jaritt has always blurred the lines between treatment, rehabilitation exercise and training. Some patients may require a more passive approach to treatment - such as soft tissue treatment of muscles and fascia, joint mobilization and or spinal manipulation. Other patients may require a more active approach concentrating more on restoring functional movement quality and range of motion progressing to functional capacity training with loads. Dr. Jaritt primarily works with an active general population, and has also worked as a therapist to two national level teams.
