A strong believer in exercise therapy and patient education, he also is skilled at using modalities and manual therapy in treatment and certified in Vestibular rehabilitation, dry needling, and acupuncture. William provides patients with a good understanding as to the nature of their injury and explains the treatment choices he makes while allowing them to have a say in the treatment choices and options, as this has been proven to be an essential component of patient-centric care and evidence-based practice.

In an effort to contribute more to preventative medicine on the community level, he also has a Master’s degree in Public Health. Whether your goal is to rehabilitate from an injury, manage pain, return to sports, return to work, begin sports, improve fitness or posture, William will use a patient, friendly and custom approach to treatment planning to help you achieve your goals.

When he is not helping clients at work, you can find him cycling on the weekends or in a gym on the weekdays doing strength training, cardio and weight lifting.
