Dan earned his Bachelor of Physical and Health Education from Nipissing University, where he worked in the Biomechanics and Ergonomics Laboratory studying dynamic spine stability and squatting mechanics. His research brought him to Glasgow, Scotland where he presented at the International Society of Biomechanics Conference and led to two peer-reviewed journal publications. Following his undergraduate degree, Dan completed his Masters of Science in Physical Therapy at The University of Toronto.
Since graduation, Dan has worked in private practice treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. He has continued his professional development through courses in advanced manual therapy, concussion management, GLA:D® hip and knee arthritis program, McKenzie method, running and gait analysis, acupuncture, and various taping techniques.
Dan is an avid sports fan and has provided on-field medical coverage for a variety of sporting events including the Canadian Para Hockey Championship, the Ontario Winter Games, and the Muskoka Half Ironman. Dan was also the team trainer for the Elmira Sugar Kings Jr. B Hockey Club and is currently serving as the team physiotherapist for the Sugar Kings.
Dan’s approach to treatment involves a combination of manual therapy techniques, patient education, and progressive tissue loading to enable his patients to return to a healthy active lifestyle. He particularly loves working with athletes and active individuals to combine his knowledge of strength training and rehabilitation to get them game ready!
Dan grew up in Barrie, Ontario where he played high level hockey. After meeting his wife in physio school, Dan relocated to the area and is very excited to be working with the Woolwich community!
