After years of care-giving and personal family experience with childhood oncology Don naturally progressed into the manual therapy field in 2009. While training at VCC in the OPTA program, Don worked with the physiotherapy teams on the ACE units at both LGH and VGH. He also completed occupational therapy placements at RCH and Colony Farms working with traumatic brain injured and stroke patients. Don decided to supplement his skill set with formal training in the field of RMT, where he graduated from the VCMT with the Achievement Award for his class. His life and work experience over the last 13 years has left Don well versed in a wide range of health conditions and rehabilitative areas.
