About On Track Sport Performance Rehab

I graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in July of 1999 and became registered with the College of Massage Therapy in March of 2000.

Since then I have also obtained my level 1 “Twist Sport Conditioning Coach” certification through Twist Conditioning Inc., and am working on obtaining my level 2 certification now.

I currently hold my Personal Trainer Certification through the NSCA (NSCA-CPT). As well, I currently hold my Level “C” CPR w/AED certification as well and have done so for the past 13 years.

I provide all Massage Therapy treatments from my office at Active Life Chiropractic Wellness Clinic in Maple Ridge and all Sport Performance and Injury Rehab from my studio at home.

Massage therapy can help with many conditions and ailments that arise from work, sports, pregnancy and stress, just to name a few. Whiplash injuries due to motor vehicle accidents, low back pain and postural problems are very common with static postures at work, ie: desk jockeys.

I also like to deal with athletic type injuries as these can sometimes be a challenge, first to analyze and then to treat. Athletes themselves can be a challenge to try and restrain from overdoing the rehabilitative part to get back as soon as possible, but they are fun to work with.

Massage Therapy works well by itself as a form of treatment but can and usually is more effective when added to other forms of treatment such as Chiropractic, Naturopathic or Physiotherapy. I like to take the time to educate my patients on the problem/injury that they have and how to apply an appropriate rehabilitative home care exercise program for them.

I have been fortunate enough to be able to apply my trade to a few individuals that I regard as my own “Hero’s”. I am a huge race fan of the American LeMans Series (sportscars) and ChampCar (open wheel) and in April of 2000 I got a call from Indianapolis to work with some drivers from CART (now ChampCar). Names like Paul Tracy, Dario Franchitti, Tony Kanaan, Mauricio Gugelmin and Scott Dixon became regular as patients of mine. I spent some time traveling to various races to look after them. I still continue to do this but only for Paul Tracy and only for 1-2 races each year. I have also been looking after female sportscar racer Melanie Paterson.

Currently I am helping Toyota Atlantics driver Adrien Herberts and current Parts Canada Superbike and former AMA Superbike Champion motorcycle racer Steve Crevier.

I have also spent time on a number of our own local talents from various sporting disciplines. I take a great deal of pride in what I do no matter who it is, but a little boost to one’s ego never hurt. Did it?
