When injury strikes, you need a clear path forward…
Pain and injuries can be especially frustrating for active people. Whether it’s a sudden injury or ongoing discomfort, it can feel like a roadblock - making it harder to train, perform or enjoy the activities that keep you moving. On top of that, knowing how to handle the situation isn’t always straightforward, and finding the time to prioritize recovery can feel impossible.
That’s where virtual athletic therapy comes in.
Bend Without Breaking Athletic Therapy focuses on making rehab simple, effective and accessible. Virtual care allows for personalized attention and guidance, all without the hassle of in-person appointments. It’s designed for individuals who want clear answers about their pain or injury, actionable steps to improve and the confidence to return to their sport or activity without second-guessing.
Education is a key part of the process. Understanding the injury, how it happened and what’s needed to recover helps create a stronger connection to the rehab process. Through targeted exercise, the body adapts and becomes better equipped to handle the demands of an active lifestyle. This approach builds not just physical strength, but also resilience and confidence, helping you feel prepared for whatever comes next.
Rehabilitation doesn’t have to mean putting life on hold. With the right plan and support, it’s possible to work through pain, rebuild strength and get back to doing what you love - all from the convenience of home.

About Me
Originally from Toronto, Canada, I graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology and Physical Education. I then earned High Honours and Valedictorian recognition with a Bachelor of Applied Health Sciences in Athletic Therapy from Sheridan College in 2017. I have built my expertise by working clinically since, expanding my scope in 2019 when I became a Registered Massage Therapist (inactive since venturing into Virtual Therapy).
During my Athletic Therapy training, I worked with various varsity sports teams from universities and colleges in Ontario. My interest in baseball led me to an internship with the Major League Baseball’s Toronto Blue Jays in 2016. I then started working with Baseball Canada and the Junior National Team once I was certified, including being the therapist for the 2017 WBSC U18 World Tournament. I have continued to work with the Junior Team for several training camps in the USA. I have also assisted Softball Canada’s Women’s National Team for some of their training camps, and organized field coverage for other baseball events, including the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Academy Canadian Futures Showcase in 2022.
My experience in baseball has led me to specialize on the assessment and rehab of shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries, but my expertise in rehabilitation has involved injuries from many sports. I have also recently become interested in running-related injuries and have restarted my own running journey, while following Irish rugby and hurling closely as well. The additional courses I’ve taken and commitment to evidence-based care have shaped my philosophy to what you see today.
I am now living in Ireland with my wife as she continues her medical training. This new chapter has allowed me to bring my expertise to a broader audience through virtual care, helping athletes and active individuals overcome injuries, build resilience, and return to the activities they love with confidence.
