I have been working as a registered clinical physiotherapist since graduating from the University of Manchester, England in 2002.  My training has given me advanced knowlege of human kinetics, physiology and anatomy and I have consistently taken a wide range of post graduate courses for continued professional development.  I have had a personal interest in physical fitness my entire life as I have played every sport imaginable since I was a kid.  This transitioned into 17+ years of weight and cardiovascular training and includes experience in a wide range of fitness activites such as shaping, toning, muscle builing, interval training, circuit training, boot camps, nutrition,  weight loss programs, therapeutic rehab, muscle imaballance correction, and physiotherapy assessment/treatment for numerous musculoskeletal issues (just to name a few).  I have been involed in personal training of all fitness levels from beginner to significantly advanced.  Currently I own/operate Body Works Fitness & Physiotherapy which as its name suggests is a fitness center and physio clinic, located right on the beautiful Canadian coastline.  I also work as a clinical physiotherapist at the Baie Verte Peninsula Health Centre ( a part of the Canadian public health system).  Work at both sites includes, but is not limited to, the above named fitness and therapeutic duties.  I work with people of all ages and all fitness levels on a daily basis.  I see first hand how health and fitness can have amazing effects on a wide range of health issues and I absolutley love giving the guidance so many of us need to either just get started or to continue to advance.
