Born and raised in Calgary, Alex grew up playing competitive hockey; this led to his passion for the field of physiotherapy. Alex holds both a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, with Distinction, from the University of Calgary and a Master’s of Science in Physiotherapy from the University of Alberta. Alex has completed his Advanced Diploma of Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy and is a fellow with the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapists (FCAMPT). He is fully certified in Functional Dry Needling/Intra-muscular Stimulation (IMS) and is authorized by the College of Physiotherapy Alberta to perform spinal manipulation.

Prior to becoming a physiotherapist, Alex comes from a personal training background, working at the Bankers Hall Club in downtown Calgary. This background gives him the ability to treat all aspects of a patient’s recovery, from the beginning stages of an injury all the way through to a patient’s full return to sports and activities. As a result, Alex focuses on helping to correct patients’ muscle imbalances using a combination of manual therapy, myofascial release techniques, dry needling/IMS, and corrective exercise to get to the true cause of your problem, helping an injury fully heal and prevent it from coming back.
