About Brad
Brad is originally from Prince Edward Island and has moved to Wilsonville, excited to spend some of his time serving the people of Norfolk County. Brad enjoys educating his patients about their bodies and how patterns can emerge that can create or lead to discomfort down the road. He loves getting to know his patients so he can better serve them and provide tools that help improve and maintain their health for the long term. The body is complex but Brad loves to simplify the body so that patients can really understand how their body is working for them, so they leave with more knowledge and understanding of how their body is working for them.
It is his goal to help patients improve their overall quality of life through osteopathic manual therapy and a patient centered approach. He wants to get to know you to better understand your issues, and offer advice that helps you out of the office. He aims to liberate your body of restriction so that you can live everyday with better movement, less pain, an improved sense of well being and awareness of your body.
Whenever he is not in the office you can find him spending time with his partner in Wilsonville, hiking, playing piano, or doing wood carving. Whenever he has the chance to visit PEI you can find him on the sand at his favorite beach.
