Meet Your Pain Detective

I’m Andrew, your Vernon physiotherapist who helps people get unstuck from pain.

Book An Assessment

Stop chasing symptoms.

Start solving the mystery.

  • Have you been to multiple practitioners but no one can figure out what’s really wrong?
  • Are you tired of temporary fixes that don’t address the real problem?
  • Do you sense there are connections in your body that others are missing?

If that’s how you feel, then welcome. I approach your pain like a detective approaches a case – with careful investigation and a determination to find the real culprit.

I know what it feels like to be stuck…

I injured my back as a teenager and spent years bouncing between treatments that provided temporary relief but never lasted. Flare-up after flare-up, I felt trapped in a cycle with no clear way forward.

I realized something important over 15 years of practice: most people who feel stuck with their pain aren’t getting stuck because the problem is unsolvable—they’re stuck because no one has looked at it the right way.

My unconventional background—business, classical piano, three languages, and living through my own back injury—taught me to see patterns others miss and approach complex problems from multiple angles.

I developed the Movement Matrix Method to do exactly that: take overwhelming, confusing pain problems and make them simple and solvable.

My approach: investigate systematically, think laterally, and create elegant solutions that make getting better feel straightforward instead of overwhelming.

How I help people get unstuck

When you’ve tried multiple treatments without lasting results, you need someone who approaches the problem differently.

I don’t guess. I investigate your situation systematically using the Movement Matrix Method I have developed over the course of my clinical career. I look at your entire movement system—not just where it hurts—to find the patterns and connections others have missed.
Just like a detective follows clues to solve a case, I follow the evidence your body provides until we find what’s really driving your pain. Sometimes the answer is in an unexpected place—like discovering that poor sleep is perpetuating your back pain, or that an old ankle injury is causing your hip issues.
Then I create a clear, simple plan that makes solving your problem feel manageable instead of overwhelming.
The result? You finally get unstuck and start moving toward the life you want—pain-free and confident in your body.

Masters Degree in Physiotherapy

Graduated from the University of Alberta in 2008

Certified in Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) & Dry Needling

Trained in Pain Science

Advanced training in pain neuroscience helps me understand when pain is driven by nervous system sensitization rather than tissue damage.

Of clinical experience
Advanced Movement Analysis

Post graduate coursework in movement system analysis forms the foundation of my assessment approach.

Developer of the Movement Matrix Approach

I developed the Movement Matrix Method—a systematic framework for uncovering the root cause of pain. It’s how I take overwhelming, confusing problems and make them simple and solvable.

Author

Wrote a comprehensive book on sleep health for physios because I recognized what others were missing: sleep and pain are deeply interconnected.
