Jeff is the owner of West Vancouver Physiotherapy and has been working as a physiotherapist for over 14 years. He graduated from the University of British Columbia in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy preceded by a Bachelor of Science in Biology. He began his clinical experience working at Worker’s Compensation Board in the Work Rehabilitation program. In the fall of 1998, he started working at West Vancouver Physiotherapy. During his time at WVP, he has focussed on expanding his physiotherapy skills by attending numerous post-graduate courses in orthopaedic manual therapy and exercise prescription as well as participating in many International and National physiotherapy and sports symposiums. Jeff has achieved some of the highest standards in manual therapy in the physiotherapy profession, including a Certificate of Intermediate Manual & Manipulative Therapy.

Jeff has been a lifelong resident of the North Shore and has been very active in the sporting community, both as an athlete as well as a trainer for sports teams and events. His love of sports started early in life being selected for Provincial and National level teams in field hockey, wrestling, soccer and rugby in his school years. This culminated in being chosen as Carson Graham’s Athlete of the Year in 1990. He continued his competitive involvement in sports by playing at the Capilano Rugby Football Club in both the Premier and First Divisions for over 20 years. During this time, he was selected for numerous Provincial and International rugby teams. His other sporting passions include downhill skiing, mountain biking, golfing and back country hiking.

Both Jeff’s diverse work and sport experiences have given him the opportunity to work with a broad spectrum of clients ranging from Professional level athletics to youth just starting their sporting careers.
