Biography
Who is Joseph ?
I’m a physiotherapist and certified athletic therapist with a strong passion for sports medicine and helping people return to activity safely. I’ve grown within the Action Sport Physio team, first joining as a physiotherapist’s assistant while completing my studies. Working closely with athletes on and off the field has shaped my hands-on, proactive approach to care. I take pride in supporting patients as they recover from injury and regain confidence in their sport, work, and daily life.
Training and professional skills
I earned my Master of Science in Physical Therapy from Queen’s University in 2022 and am a licensed physiotherapist with the OPPQ. I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Health, Kinesiology, and Applied Physiology with a specialization in Athletic Therapy. My experience includes working in orthopaedics, sports medicine, cardiology, intensive care units, vestibular rehabilitation, neurology, and post-stroke care. I have extensive training in sport emergency care, manual therapy, and strength and conditioning.
Here is an overview of my certifications:
- Vestibular Rehabilitation: A Comprehensive Introduction & Advanced Vestibular Rehabilitation: Assessment and treatment of dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders.
- TMJ Anatomy and Pathology: Occlusal Stability and a Myofascial Approach: Evaluation and treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunction using a myofascial-based approach.
- Concussion Management According to CCMI: Evidence-based assessment and treatment of concussions to support safe recovery and return to activity.
- Prescribing Radiographs for Physiotherapists: Authorization and training that allows physiotherapists to prescribe X-rays when clinically indicated to support assessment and care planning.
“My goal is to provide high-quality, proactive care that helps patients return to their sport, work, and everyday activities with confidence.”
