Jim started his journey to becoming a physiotherapist while attending Simon Fraser University getting his Bachelors of Kinesiology. His main areas of focus were on the physiology and biomechanics of the human body while also pursuing knowledge in nutrition.
Prior to starting his masters degree in physiotherapy Jim worked for several years as an exercise therapist, athletic therapist, and ergonomist. His work as an ergonomist took him all over North America and provides him with a unique set of skills to identify and solve issues with workplace stressors including optimal office/computer station design. While Jim worked with multiple sports programs, his main focus was working with the SFU Men's soccer team.
After completing his Physiotherapy degree at the University of Alberta he aggressively pursued post-graduate courses in physiotherapy. Highlights of this include his completion of the Advanced Certification in Manual Therapy and Intra Muscular Stimulation (IMS). This allows him to quickly assess and accurately treat even the most complex injuries with great outcomes.
Jim's style of treatment involves first discovering the primary driver or reason why the injury occurred and any other additional factors. Sometimes this involves treating areas that are away from the area of concern. He has found this method the most successful at avoiding repeat injuries and recovering quickly.
Methods of treatment:
movement retraining
exercise therapy
instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization
IMS
manipulations "cracking"
mobilizations
ergonomic assessment
Particular areas of interest are:
sports played on grass with cleats (soccer, football, baseball, and rugby)
pitchers for baseball
dancers
concussions*
*Oftentimes, for a concussion to occur, significant neck trauma needs to take place. Spraining ligaments in the upper cervical spine and straining muscles in the shoulder/neck can impact one's ability to function on multiple levels. The main mechanism is as follows: the brain processes information from the ocular (eye), vestibular (inner ear), and proprioceptive (ligaments and tendons) inputs in the body. If any one of those inputs sends information that is different from the others it can cause nausea, dizziness, malaise, fog, poor eye tracking and other typical symptoms of post-concussion syndrome. An example of this is when you come off of a merry-go-round. Your ocular and proprioceptive inputs suggest you are stationary while your vestibular system suggests you are in motion and rotating. This is why working on the neck component in conjunction with the brain injury can successfully restore one’s life.
