SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY

SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY

Our physiotherapists each have their own sporting backgrounds and areas of expertise.  And they are all here to help keep you moving and competing in the sports you love.  From pain management, to prevention, to performance!  We have therapists with focus and passions for running, biking, skiing, soccer, martial arts, golf, tennis, dance and more.

 

We have physios that have worked with National Teams, travelled to international competitions including the Olympic Games.  Our therapists have worked with athletes from the local level, up to National level (including Alpine Canada, Snowboard, Womens Soccer and the NHL). We currently teach on-field First Responder for Sport to Sports Physiotherapists from across the country.  This course deals with the emergency care of athletes who have suffered major trauma, as well as the daily responsibilities of a Physio travelling with a sports team.  

 

Most Envision physiotherapists have a focus on sports, and some of our therapists have additional training and are certified as Sports Physiotherapists.  Erin Gibb is currently working with Snowboard Canada.

 

At Envision, we also provide Sport Concussion Baseline Testing for athletes of all ages.  To learn more about our Baseline Testing program, click here.

Marcus is a compassionate person with a well-rounded, patient-centred approach to
physiotherapy. He completed his Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of

As a life-long learner, Marcus is committed to personal growth and development, pursuing the

Physiotherapy Association, and has also trained to be an Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)/dry-
needling practitioner. He is quick to apply his continued learnings and enhanced skills for the
benefit of his patients.

 

Marcus has had experience over a diverse group of clinical settings and has gained a
tremendous appreciation for the unique nature of each individual’s perspectives in regard to
their pain, rehabilitation goals, and path to recovery. Marcus is passionate about meeting the
rehabilitation needs of every individual through a combination of techniques such as manual
treatment, dry-needling/IMS, and functional + progressive exercise.

 

In his free time, Marcus enjoys an active lifestyle including hiking, camping, skiing, hockey and
soccer. Otherwise you might find him listening to music, a good podcast or cooking with
friends.

Harry Toor - BScPT, Sport Phys. Dip, FCAMT, IMS

Harry is co-owner of Envision Physiotherapy and, like all Envision physiotherapists, has had extensive post graduate training. He spent three years as the therapist for the Canadian Men’s ski team, and has been a part of the medical team for the 2006 and 2010 winter Olympics. Harry’s primary methods of treatment are manual therapy, IMS and exercise. He has also incorporated the Integrated Systems Model (by Diane Lee & Linda-Joy Lee) into his practice. Through his training and experience traveling with teams, Harry has developed critical assessment and treatment skills worthy of our national and Olympic level athletes. At Envision Physiotherapy he works with clients of all ages and abilities.

 

Outside of his clinical time, Harry has built a free online exercise database, exer-pedia.com. He has written and illustrated a children’s book, A Robot Called Zip, teaching about some fundamentals of physical health. He is currently an instructor for Sport Physiotherapy Canada, the Canadian Red Cross, and an Adjunct Professor in the Gross Anatomy Lab at UBC for the Physiotherapy Masters Program.

 

Harry grew up doing taekwondo and playing squash. Now, when not in the clinic, Harry’s activities include skiing, muay thai and is recently getting into triathlon.

Taylor DiBrita - MPT, BHKin, IMS

After receiving his Kinesiology degree from Western University, Taylor completed the
Master of Science in Physical Therapy program at the University of Toronto. Since
graduating, Taylor has worked diligently on refining his practice through continuing
education. This includes the completion of up to Level 3 of the Advanced Integrated
Musculoskeletal (AIM) Physiotherapy Program and becoming certified to perform
intramuscular stimulation (IMS).

 

As a patient-centred physiotherapist, Taylor works closely with each of his patients to
provide an individualized approach that will assist them in reaching their goals, whatever
they may be. He incorporates a combination of exercise, patient education, manual
therapy, and IMS into his treatment approach depending on what is best suited for the
person in front of him.

 

From a young age, Taylor loved playing a variety of sports, his primary sport being
basketball, and he has maintained an active lifestyle ever since. His continuous
engagement with sport and movement throughout his life has shown him firsthand the
immense benefit that physical activity has to offer for both physical and mental well-being.
Along the way, he’s also experienced how pain and injury can negatively impact these
things as well. This experience has made Taylor passionate about helping people of all
levels of physical ability be able to participate in the activities that are meaningful to their
own well-being.

 

Outside of the clinic, you might find him outside enjoying nature, playing sports such as
basketball and squash, or just relaxing at home with a good book.
