Hi! My name is Aaron. I grew up always being very active, playing every sport that was available to me. This obsession with physical activity has never left me, but instead evolved into an obsession with the human body and human performance instead, eventually leading to me completing a Kinesology degree prior to studying RMT. I love studying the human body and working with people to understand the complexities that cause their pain or drive their performance. I’m just finishing my studies as an RMT student at First College where I’ve learnt how to comprehensively assess and treat soft tissue injuries. My goal is to combine these new skills with everything that I’ve learnt as a Kinesiologist to provide the most effective and comprehensive treatment to everyone who walks through my door. Sports may be fun, but getting back to work pain free following an injury is crucial and I would be honored to help you get back on your feet

Since 2014, Jon has embraced the fundamental starting point of posture analysis as taught by the Postural Restoration Institute. Understanding his clients’ postural baseline not only guides the training process but also helps determine their specific needs. Jon’s clientele spans across rehabilitation, lifestyle, and athletic domains. Many individuals seeking rehabilitation have experienced car accidents or endure persistent pain they wish to alleviate. Lifestyle clients, on the other hand, strive for overall well-being and injury prevention. Athletes vary from high school to university to professional levels. While some rehab and lifestyle clients may have concerns about strength training, it is actually centered around optimizing movement. Optimal movement aims to redistribute stress away from vulnerable tissues and onto those capable of handling it. Rest assured, heavy lifting or overly intense training sessions are not mandatory. Jon’s approach is all about empowering you and your training, so you can take pride in the progress you make towards improved movement and well-being.
