Travis graduated with a Masters of Physiotherapy from Dalhousie University in Halifax, N.S. in 2013 as well as a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, NB in 2011. He received his Diploma of Advanced Manual and Manipulative Therapy from the Orthopaedic Division in 2018. He is a Fellow with the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapists (FCAMPT) and a mentor with the Orthopedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. Travis also received his Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) through the University of British Columbia, Acupuncture Certification through the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada, and Diagnostic Imaging Certification through University of Alberta which allows him to order Xrays, MSK Ultrasounds and MRI’s when appropriate. Originally from Charlottetown, PEI, he is on Physiotherapy Alberta’s restricted activity roster for both spinal manipulation and dry needing. He holds secondary certifications in Stretch to Win - Fascial Stretch Therapy®, Mobilisation of the Myofascial System (MMS) / Structural Myofascial Therapy (SFMT®), Mulligan Concepts, Neurological Proprioceptive Kinesio-Taping, and Custom Knee Bracing. His clinical philosophy is not only rooted in rehabilitation, but also in future injury prevention, by combining manual therapy, needling techniques, myofascial mobilisations, neural container mobility, and motor control; correlating it with analysis of obtained objective data, all with the ultimate goal of empowering the patient with knowledge to continue to assist them on a road to functional and pain-free lifestyle.

As a team, we’re always looking for ways to provide value to our clients and deepen our understanding of the journey they’re navigating.

That includes what happens before they enter our four walls, and the decisions the surgical team weighs in the lead-up to surgery.

In Calgary, we welcomed to discuss the nuances of ACL graft selection, harvest, healing, and concurrent injuries involving the meniscus and cartilage.

Sixty minutes of open dialogue, thoughtful questions, and shared learning. We’re grateful for surgeons like Cory who generously share their knowledge and remain curious about the rehabilitation perspective, including how surgical decisions can support the work that follows.

When it comes to Chronic Ankle Instability, the strongest evertors still roll. Ankle sprains happen in 50 to 150 ms.

Multi-step processing. Go-No Go. Unplanned decisions. Anticipatory Index. Cancellation.

It’s a funny thing, opportunity.

A single conversation can change how you approach something you’ve spent years doing, if you’re open, and willing to challenge your thinking / biases.

The breadth of elite sport experience Ben, Alex and Gus bring to their teaching made this weekend’s Athletic Shoulder Course an opportunity we’re grateful to have shared.

Unpacking how they think, assess risk, and prioritize interventions gave us plenty to take back into practice.

Where does your athlete need to go?
How will you know they’re progressing?
How will you get them there?

Questions that carry well beyond the shoulder.

A room full of curious practitioners, thoughtful conversations, and a shared willingness to learn.

Thanks, lads, for being so generous with your knowledge and experience.

Excited for our team to put these learnings to work.

The endowment effect has made me reflect on how much weight I give the ideas I know best.

Expertise should change how we interpret information.

Yet our attachment and unwillingness to abandon ideas or concepts can too.

The challenge is knowing the difference.

I try not to force certainty onto complex systems, in a constant search for inputs that actually change the desired output. Yet even the output we desire could be shaped by bias.

Force in sport is rarely expressed in one direction. And behind that first touch, is often countless hours in the kitchen👨‍🍳

Testing, manipulating and trialing new recipes, all in an attempt to knock down adaptations.

Volleyball is no different 🏐

Volleyball is a constant translation of force: horizontal to vertical, eccentric to concentric, lower extremity to upper extremity. An approach starts with horizontal displacement. Eccentric braking. Deceleration. Amortization. Producing force as velocity approaches zero, before transferring that energy into concentric propulsion.

But the task doesn’t end at the lower extremity. The athlete has to redirect horizontal momentum vertically while coordinating the pelvis and trunk, creating separation through rotation, and positioning the shoulder through abduction and external rotation to attack the ball overhead.

At month 6 post ACL-R, moves towards what we call Transition to Chaos. The objective shifts from developing individual qualities toward integrating them under increasingly representative sporting demands. Lower and upper kinetic chains working as one system.

Energy generated through the lower extremity is transferred through the pelvis and trunk into the upper extremity to contribute to power. Fine motor control shaping the touch.

And underneath it all is profiling that continues to guide prescription above and below the knee. Foot and ankle, hip, trunk, and shoulder.

Test the individual pieces. Build their individual capacity. Then teach the system to express them together.

An excerpt from a recent mentorship session with our East Coast team on meniscal and chondral injuries.

When it comes to the acute knee assessment, the objective isn't to perform more tests. It's to ask better questions.

Your history should shape your examination.

These details help orient the second half of your assessment, guiding which tissues deserve closer attention.

Great assessments start with the right questions and context.

Technical skill only gets you in the door.

Competency in a region of the body comes from reps, taken beside people who have already done thousands of them. That is why we brought Athletic Shoulder to Calgary.

September 12 at our Flagship in Calgary, AB. Will you join us and continue to push the standard of care in Canada?

Early bird closes this week. athleticshoulder.com/events

Technical mastery is a balance between hardware and software.

The hardware matters: anatomy, pathology, tissue healing, diagnosis, manual therapy and exercise selection all provide the foundation of clinical practice.

But practitioners who plateau early are rarely limited by their technical competency. More often, they've stopped upgrading their software.

Clinical reasoning. The ability to navigate complexity. The willingness to question assumptions, challenge biases and adapt your thinking as new information emerges.

Knowledge may build competence, but clinical reasoning is what transforms information into better decisions.

That's where the gap between good and great is often found.

Just a team full of rockstars in Edmonton who are willing to share knowledge, put their heads together, and continually push each other outside their comfort zones.

Grateful to spend time alongside people who make everyone around them better.

Introducing: Inside the Literature.

There’s never been more research available to us as clinicians, and I find the challenge isn't always finding evidence these days, it's vetting it, and knowing how to apply it and translate it clinically to the human in front of you.

With this new series, I'll happily share some of the past/emerging resources that have shaped my mindset/practice, and connect it to real-world clinical practice.

Why it matters, when it applies, and how it's influencing the decisions I make with our patients and athletes.

Evidence should inform our practice. But filtering what matters, and how it applies on an n=1 level in your practice remains king.
