About

Shawn believes that everyone has potential to feel better and move easier using research-based manual therapy, acupuncture, and exercise prescription.

Shawn attended Wilfrid Laurier University and Our Lady Seat of Wisdom before studying physiotherapy at Queen's University. He continued his studies focusing on acupuncture at McMaster University through the Contemporary Medical Acupuncture program before returning there to complete an advanced acupuncture/sport internship.

Shawn has since completed the Dale Carnegie curriculum on effective communication and leadership. Equally important to diagnosing an injury is effective communication about the anatomy, focused home exercises, and tips for daily life crucial to maintaining long-term improvements.  

Shawn also is a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and has served on the board for multiple working groups. 

No matter the stage of life, whether your injury is from sport, a sudden fall, or a gradual onset, Shawn will assess your injury and work with you to set and achieve your goals
