Patrick McKinnon, PT

decided to put all of his hard learned education to good use, so he moved to the west coast to

complete his Masters of Physical Therapy degree at the University of British Columbia. Upon

graduation in 2007, Pat promptly traded his boutique urban Kitsilano existence for the

recreational paradise of the Sea to Sky Corridor, where he’s been practicing and living the

dream ever since. He never intended for it to be a permanent move, but you know how that

story goes…

A devoted practitioner, Pat works collaboratively with his clients, taking the

time to to assess and treat their specific injury needs in a private, one-on-one clinical setting.

He uses a variety of hands-on manual therapy techniques, in conjunction with individualized

exercise prescription and focused re-training of dysfunctional movement patterns, in order to

assist each client with achieving their personal rehabilitation goals.

Pat has post-graduate certifications in IMS and Active Release Techniques (ART), and has

completed the Level 3 manual therapy curriculum through the Canadian Orthopaedic Division.

He has a special interest in shoulder injuries and post-operative rehabilitation, but he is

generally fascinated by the mind-blowing neuromuscular workings of the entire human body,

and has undertaken extensive coursework targeting all of the major musculoskeletal regions.

When he’s not in the clinic, Pat is a borderline obsessive freeride snowboarding enthusiast,

both on the resort and in the backcountry. He also enjoys pedalling trails, climbing mountains,

surfing waves, eating tacos, and not-so-secretly rocking out to sweet ‘80s hair metal jams.
