Adam Giesbrecht
Three E’s set Adam apart in his practice: education, experience and expertise. Adam’s first clinical nickname was “wild man” (he has the flask to prove it) because he is willing to do whatever it takes to help his clients get their health on track and live their lives to the fullest.
Numerous sport-related injuries have landed Adam on several physiotherapy tables over the years and really driven home the importance of integrating great treatment techniques with an unforgettable experience. Adam knows the importance of providing effective rehabilitation and returning to activity as soon as possible.
Adam’s focus is unwaveringly on the needs of his clients. He brings a contagious enthusiasm and energy to the clinic every day, which translates into memorable treatments. He has found his best outcomes result from treatment focused on education and exercise, often augmented with manual therapy, active release technique and dry needling techniques such as IMS and acupuncture.
It is often said that active people make the best physiotherapists, and Adam is more than qualified in this regard. Adam grew up playing a wide variety of sports from hockey to baseball to golf. If he is not in the clinic or hanging out with his two amazing daughters you will most likely find Adam mountain biking, golfing, in the gym or playing hockey.
