Certified Pedorthist (C. Ped C)
Rob's passion and interest in how our bodies work and move began in his early years running track for his little school on the west coast and chasing basketballs and hockey balls around on his school grounds! After post secondary sciences and two year speciality in exercise physiology and biomechanics, Rob took a left turn from Science and did a Masters Degree in Family Counselling . Returning to his passion he then did four years study and internship in Pedorthics, Canadian Certified Pedorthics.
After his internship Rob has worked his entire Pedorthic career in multi disciplinary clinical settings with his “speciality blinders” off ! Rob works with Family Physicians, Sport Medicine Physicians, Orthopaedic consult, Physiotherapy and Massage.
Rob has been running and triathlon training for years and has a special interest in athletic footwear, running and movement injury at lower limb. Rob's work with foot and lower limb injury is by no means exclusive to the running community, he sincerely enjoys working with people from all walks of life with varying capacity and work/life demands!
