With over 9 years of exercise and training experience, Tyler turned his passion for health and fitness into a career by becoming a full-time physiotherapist. As a fellow alumnus, He completed his Bachelor of Kinesiology in 2015 and graduated with a Masters of Physical Therapy from UBC in 2017. In his physiotherapy practice, Tyler works in orthopaedic clinics that specialize in the management of sport and work related injuries, motor vehicle accidents, and vestibular conditions. Tyler’s treatment philosophy revolves around the body’s natural ability to adapt and recover. As a result, he prioritizes the return to normal movement patterns by creating individualized exercise programs for all his patients.
During his time as an undergraduate student, Tyler remained involved on campus by volunteering as the Kinesiology Undergraduate Society website coordinator, KIN tutor, Imagine Day orientation leader, and most notably serving as the VP of Sponsorships – Planning Committee for KIN Games 2015. His past academic achievements include being awarded the Kinesiology Undergraduate Society Prize and the Physiotherapy Association of BC Student Engagement Award upon graduation. Tyler believes in giving back to the community as gratitude for the support that he had received growing up. He has volunteered as an assistant coach for the Vancouver Special Olympics, exercise assistant for ICORD, and is currently a mentor in the KIN Mentorship Program.
With the evolving field of physiotherapy, Tyler is committed to keeping his practice up-to-date with modern research by reviewing new literature, and taking continuing education courses. At the moment, Tyler is learning to improve his skills with vestibular and concussion management. Tyler mentions, “Becoming a physiotherapist was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I am so grateful to have a career that doesn’t feel like work…It is honestly the most rewarding feeling when I see the smiles on my patients’ faces when they return to an activity that they thought they could never do again. I am so thankful to God, my family and friends for their undying support throughout this lifelong journey of learning and growth!”
