Brandon is a physiotherapist from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and has been part of the PROactive team since 2019. An alumni of Dalhousie University, he holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology and a Masters of Science degree in Physiotherapy. Since graduation, Brandon has completed further training in Biomedical Dry Needling. Outside of academics, Brandon has achieved the rank of black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), and more recently became a certified Yoga teacher after 200 hours of training.

Brandon has devoted over 10 years to studying and teaching the martial arts. He has practiced wrestling, muay thai kickboxing, boxing, and teaches BJJ at multiple gyms in HRM. To balance the physicality associated with these activities, Brandon incorporates a regular Yoga practice.

Growing up, Brandon has competitive sport experience playing hockey and soccer at the provincial level, and has intermittently explored other activities including rugby, canoe/kayaking, ultimate frisbee, crossfit and bouldering. From calisthenics to kettlebell training to powerlifting, Brandon has performed many different forms of resistance training over the last 15 years and is continuously exploring different methods of exercise.

Brandon’s treatment philosophy involves combining his evidenced-based training with his professional and personal experience. When addressing acute pain and injury, clients can expect some or all of the following: Strengthening, movement analysis, soft tissue release, dry needling techniques and passive/active stretching. As you start to feel stronger, clients of Brandon can expect an emphasis on education so you can take greater ownership over your own physical health.

Brandon looks forward to working with you to achieve your performance, rehabilitation and optimization goals!
