Originally from the prairies, Patrick completed his Bachelor of Kinesiology at the University of Manitoba before moving to Toronto to pursue his Master of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto. His passion for musculoskeletal anatomy and physiology has shaped a career that has taken him across the country, training and practicing in Winnipeg, Vancouver, and now back in Toronto, his favourite city to date. Along the way, he has pursued extensive post-graduate education in orthopaedics, exercise prescription, dry needling, acupuncture, spinal and peripheral manipulation, and therapeutic cupping.

Patrick went on to complete a Master of Clinical Science in Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy at Western University, earning his Fellowship with the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMPT). This internationally recognized designation under IFOMPT reflects advanced expertise in assessment, diagnosis, and manual therapy treatment.

Clinically, Patrick has developed a particular expertise in treating jaw (TMJ), neck, and upper extremity conditions, and is furthering this specialization by pursuing the Certified Cervical and Temporomandibular Therapist (CCTT) designation. While this is a major area of focus, his advanced training allows him to assess and manage a wide spectrum of conditions involving the spine and lower extremities. His practice is grounded in evidence-based care, patient education, and collaborative treatment planning to support recovery and long-term health.

Patrick is equally engaged in professional leadership. He currently serves as Secretary for the Canadian Academy of Manual & Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy (CAMPT), contributing to national governance, advocacy, and program development. Internationally, he is involved with the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists (IFOMPT), contributing to initiatives that influence physiotherapy education and practice on a global scale.

Outside of his professional life, Patrick enjoys exploring Toronto’s vibrant culinary scene. A lover of anything sugary, his favourite ritual is seeking out new cafés and bakeries — with coffee and a croissant as his go-to treat.
