Christian is a registered physiotherapist that was born and raised in Nanaimo. After graduating from Vancouver Island University’s Sport Health and Physical Education (SHAPE) program back in 2019, he went on to obtain a Master of Science in Physical Therapy degree at the University of Western Ontario (UWO) in 2021.

Christian enjoys maintaining an active lifestyle and enjoys partaking in a variety of activities such as running, kayaking, and hiking with his family, including his golden retriever, Freyja. Above all, Christian is a die-hard soccer fan and lives and breathes the sport! In addition to following a variety of leagues, he has played competitive soccer for over a decade! As an evidence-informed practitioner, Christian routinely studies the best available evidence to provide the highest standard of client-centered care. His approach to treatment consists of employing manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, intra-muscular stimulation, and individualized exercise prescription to help manage symptoms, support recovery, and optimize function.

Christian understands that life is too short to not be able to enjoy the activities that we love. His goal as a physiotherapist is to create an environment that cultivates a strong practitioner-patient relationship; with the intent of promoting trust, belief, and effective independent management to allow us to overcome disability and improve our physical function. He believes that doing so will empower us to pursue our health-related goals and open gateways to realizing our potential as human beings!
