Hi! I’m Dave

I’m a Physiotherapist and a co-owner of Catalyst Physiotherapy. I’ve been working in the health and fitness industry for 20+ years. I’m a part of a small group of individuals that use high intensity strength exercise coupled with physiotherapy to make people feel healthier and pain free. On top of my love for strength-based exercise, I also have extensive training and knowledge in pain reduction techniques, movement & function restoration and inflammation control.

I have a Master’s in Physiotherapy and a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Dalhousie University. I’m passionate about educating and bringing you cutting edge, no BS knowledge about exercise science, healthy aging, and injury resistance. This is where Catalyst was born.

One of our missions is take the sickest of the sick, and/or a deconditioned individual and make them the most robust they can be, or on the flip side, taking the most elite athlete from a pain state to full function.

You’ll find my knowledge and client content to be simple, truthful, and evidence informed. I will help you to think critically about what you are learning and then how to apply it to yourself.

I feel Physiotherapists are in the best position to guide people through a healthy lifestyle. We need to go beyond treating injuries and help people look at the big picture of their health and wellness. I strive to provide my clients an individualized experience with personal attention that allows them to be the best version of themselves. I want all of my patients to know that if I can’t give you an appreciable difference in 6 sessions, I’m not your guy. I pledge to help you find the right person or path for your goals.

I’m a geek at heart and love movies, video games and comics. I appreciate a good scotch, cigar, craft beer, and joke. I’m currently into softball, golf, pickle-ball and martial arts. My biggest obsession is my dog, Yoshi!
