Don’s involvement in sports growing up was the catalyst for his career in physiotherapy. He began his studies at Mount Royal College in Calgary, where he earned a Diploma in Athletic Therapy.

In 2005, he opened Body ‘n Balance Physio & Wellness, and in 2017, he expanded by opening a second clinic in Creemore.
Don’s treatment philosophy centers on treating each patient as an individual. He believes it’s essential for patients to fully understand their injury or condition, and he takes the time to explain anatomy, X-ray and MRI reports, and assessment findings in detail. He also has a strong passion and special interest in running and the prevention of running-related injuries.
