Why is the clinic called Advantage Physiotherapy?
As a rugby referee my favourite law is law 7. The law of advantage. "If a team gains an advantage following an infringement by their opponents, the referee may allow play to continue in an effort to keep the game flowing".
This is where a good referee is not noticed as he allows the game to flow naturally.
I strive to be such a physiotherapist.

Mark has been employed in public and private practice and has a special interest in the orthopaedic/sports injury practice side of physiotherapy. Everyone is a sportsman, from the Olympian to the gardener, we all need our level of athleticism.
Since moving to Vancouver Island he has maintained his interests in rugby as a referee, soccer as a coach and now for his own fitness; road cycling, badminton and kayaking.
Proudly raising 4 children to adulthood with his wife Jo he has continued to study physiotherapy with recent qualifications in spinal manipulation, IMS, critical thinking and the study of evidence in physiotherapy.

I am a British- trained physiotherapist and a manual therapist. I studied with the Society of Orthopaedic Medicine in the UK. I use manual techniques like mobilizations and soft tissue stretching. I am also trained in neural mobilization and movement pattern disorders. I believe that the body is an amazing system. I have made a career of studying it and learning about how it works and it still amazes me, what can go wrong and how it can be fixed. I have worked for many years and have experience with many conditions. I treat the problem like a puzzle and put the issue in context for you. I will explain my findings in easy terms that help you understand how they can be fixed. I believe that physiotherapy is all about helping the patient to understand a problem and how to solve the problem.
My background is in neurology, pediatrics and orthopedics. I enjoy working with people with chronic pain and PTSD.
