What can I do for you?

I take a ‘hands on’ approach. I utilize a broad range of treatment techniques including joint mobilizations. I incorporate multiple deep tissue techniques and corrective exercise to restore movement, function and optimize recovery. I’m proud to treat a diverse range of clients of all ages, too! I provide assessment and diagnosis of acute/traumatic injuries, muscle/postural imbalance, repetitive strain injuries, movement dysfunctions, post operative rehabilitation and those requiring assistance in management of chronic conditions.

How else can I help you?

If you’re an athlete by profession, I’m your Physiotherapist. I treat some of Canada’s most elite athletes. I’ve worked with several of Canada’s National Teams, multiple Olympians, World Champions, and professional athletes. In 2012, I had the honour of travelling to the London Olympics with the Canadian Olympic Rowing Team.

Want to know a little bit more about me?

I graduated as a Physiotherapist in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1999 having previously completed a degree in Physiology & Sports Science at Glasgow University. Upon graduating, I emigrated to Canada working as a physiotherapist in Victoria treating primarily orthopaedic and sports injuries.

In my spare time, I enjoy a lot of different sports and have competed in several to a high level. When less active, I have a keen interest in fishing, woodworking, listening to vinyl, and enjoying craft beer. Now that I’m closer to home in the Cowichan Valley, I’m excited to work at Thrive Now!

  Tim was very knowledgeable and took the time to really get to know what was going on with my injuries. Tim knew what was up with my shoulder and worked very hard to produce the results I was hoping for when I made my massage therapy appointment. I will definitely be coming back!
