After university, Michael attended and graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2001. After graduating, Michael spent a year working in Australia in a multi-discliplinary health clinic, gaining valuable professional experience. Michael firmly believes that health care should be a team approach with the best interests of the patient always in mind.
Michael's professional areas of interest include work place ergonomics, athletic injuries, and the treatment of conditions such as headaches, neck pain, low back pain, and repetitive strain injuries, to name a few. Michael has been certified and trained in several hands on and tool assisted manual therapies, including Active Release Techniques.
Michael has worked with several professional and amateur athletes, both "on field" and in a clinical setting. Working with the worlds best athletes keeps his skills current, and those skills transfer over to the weekend warriors he sees in his office every day. Michael has years of experience in personal training, and makes exercise prescription and nutritional recommendations an integral component to his treatment plans.
When not in the office Michael likes playing in the outdoors, staying fit,and spending time with his Daughters Michaela and Sierra.
