Joseph graduated from York University with a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology. He then went on to receive his Masters of Science in Physiotherapy from the University of Toronto. He has had the opportunity to treat athletes from every major sport and enjoys the challenge of breaking down each sport’s movement patterns in order to speed up recovery and improve his patient’s performance in their sport. He has completed courses in advanced manual therapy, myofascial release, and lumbopelvic manipulation. He has also obtained his medical acupuncture certification through the McMaster University Contemporary Medical Acupuncture program. Initially a skeptic of the effects of acupuncture, Joseph now considers it to be a game changer in promoting quick and long-lasting changes in recovery from an injury. Along with the use of a variety of manual therapy techniques and corrective exercises, acupuncture has become a major part of his treatment plan for the majority of patients that he treats. 

Joseph believes that in order to treat an injury, the root causes of the injury must first be fully understood. He works very hard in the initial visit to determine these causes and then selects the appropriate treatments to correct them. Understanding that the different areas of the body are integrated as opposed to working in isolation, treatments are always aimed not only at the area of pain but also at contributing factors which may be at a distance from the area of pain. It is this integrated approach to assessing and treating, along with focused one-on-one treatment sessions that Joseph has found to be the best recipe for quick and effective injury recovery.
