Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists are specialized members of the allied health care team that focuses on recovery and rehabilitation. Physiotherapy is treatment to restore, maintain, and make the most of your mobility, function, and well-being — through physical rehabilitation, injury prevention, and health and fitness.
Sports physiotherapy focuses on the athlete and weekend warrior, helping guide you through the injury and recovery process along with prevention of further injuries. We use manual therapy, exercise prescription, nutrition and sleep hygiene, modalities like acupuncture, and education to tailor your arc of rehabilitation.
Hands-on mobilization and soft-tissue techniques for acute pain and stiffness.
Specific, progressive loading programs — not generic sheet protocols.
Return-to-play progressions informed by sports residency training.
Meet Our Physiotherapists
Physiotherapist · BPT, MSc
Co-owner of Apex. Graduated from the University of Salford (UK) in 2014; later completed a Sports Physiotherapy Diploma with Sports Physiotherapy Canada and a Master's in Clinical Science at Western University focusing on Sports and Exercise Medicine.
Physiotherapist · DPT
Doctor of Physical Therapy from D'Youville College (USA) after a Bachelor of Medical Sciences at Western University. Certified in Contemporary Medical Acupuncture (McMaster) and Concussion Management. Speaks fluent Cantonese.
Evidence-based protocols for the musculoskeletal problems that keep you from moving, training, and living well. Every plan is grounded in current research — not generic handouts.
Acute and sub-acute soft-tissue injuries — early-stage care through full return to activity.
Why it matters
Ligaments don't heal straight on their own. Without guided loading in the first 6 weeks, scar tissue forms asymmetrically — leaving you with a weaker joint and primed for a second injury.
Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff, tennis and golfer's elbow — load management and progressive loading.
Why it matters
Chronic tendon pain isn't inflammation anymore — it's disorganized collagen. Only progressive mechanical loading reorganizes the tissue. Time off the sport actually prolongs it.
ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, and joint replacements — collaborative care with your surgeon.
Why it matters
The surgery is 30% of the outcome. Rehab is the other 70%. Miss the early-stage protocol and you fight adhesions, stiffness, and atrophy for years — sometimes permanently.
Shin splints, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis — gait analysis and targeted strength work.
Why it matters
Pain is the symptom — mechanics are the cause. Without correcting cadence, stride, and loading pattern, you fix one injury and quietly develop the next six weeks down the road.
Disc and joint dysfunction, whiplash recovery, posture-related pain.
Why it matters
Immobility in the first 72 hours is the single biggest predictor of chronic back pain. Early, correctly-guided movement cuts recovery time in half — and keeps it from coming back.
Post-concussion vestibular and neck rehab; gradual return-to-sport protocol.
Why it matters
Returning before full vestibular and cognitive clearance risks cumulative neurological damage. A structured 6-stage protocol isn't optional — it's brain safety.
