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.

Velocity Band Cheatsheet

Classic frameworks from Zatsiorsky, Verkhoshansky, and González-Badillo remind us that strength lives on a continuum, not in isolated buckets.

In rehab, we can’t chase load alone.

Yes — we need force production and muscle morphology.
But we also need the ability to express force quickly, with intent, precision, and speed.

One of the biggest eye-openers for me as a physiotherapist was realizing that manipulating more than just %1RM —
• tempo
• intent
• bar speed

can shift the exact quality we’re training.

Two athletes. Same load.
Completely different adaptation.

If return to performance is the goal, prescription has to include:
• power
• rate of force development
• acceleration under load

Athletes must produce the right amount of force,in the right direction, within the time window the sport gives them.

Velocity helps us see that window — and train for it.

Data is easy. Creating Vision and Meaning is hard.

Athletes process information through their own filters - beliefs, perceptions, experiences.

When you tailor the message to the human, and pair it with a clean, chronological timeline of their progress, the journey becomes real. 

And the beauty? It keeps it n=1. 

Clear stories, tailored communication. All while winning back practitioner time and creating real vision.

Stronger athletes start with stronger rehab.

At ØRKA, our rehab system is built to support athletes through every stage of recovery — from early movement to game-speed work.

No guessing. No fragmented care. Just a clear path back to the sport they love.

Here’s what’s inside the Rehab Stream at ORKA Performance:
• 1:1 sports physiotherapy including The ORKA Sports Rehab Program
• Gym-based rehab (Rehab Gyms)
• On-field return-to-running and change-of-direction progressions
• Return-to-sport testing
• Pelvic health
• Mental skills support for athletes in rehab
and more...

Each piece plays a role.
Each service connects to the next.
Each athlete gets a plan that makes sense for them.

If your an athlete that needs to start rehabbing — you need a system and a team that mirrors the level of service in professional sport. 

Comment “ORKA” and we’ll send details.

Never hunt aløne.

BC 🛫 Ontario 🛫 Nova Scotia.

Our first-ever Plinth to Podium national tour is officially in the books - and it wouldn’t have happened without our course sponsors.

Thank you to every partner who helped bring this across Canada. Your support didn’t just make the weekend possible…it elevated it.

A special shoutout to .

Not only do they support our participants before, during, and long after the course - they’re a core part of how we teach return-to-sport and performance decision-making. Their tech helps our clinicians see what actually changes month over month, whether adaptations are occurring, and when an athlete is truly ready for the next phase in their rehab-to-performance continuum.

Oakville showed up.

Egos stayed at the door.

The room was electric — a reminder of what happens when people choose to invest in themselves.

Since COVID, a shift towards online courses have made many of us feel the loss of real, in-person connection, the kind you can’t replicate through a screen.

The conversations between sessions, the feedback in real time, the nuance of individualized learning; that’s where the real growth happens.

Investing in yourself isn’t about convenience.

It’s about commitment.

Inputs = outputs.

Next up: Halifax. We have 2 spots left, our final stop for the next 12 months.

Three people walk into a bar.

One’s symmetrical, one’s asymmetrical, and one’s just trying to figure out which is better.

We tend to think:

Symmetrical = good.
Asymmetrical = bad.

But searching for black/white answers within complex systems may lead to a hidden cost.

Because life (and performance), don’t always happen in perfect balance.

Seasons.

Every business has seasons.

Some feel calm. Others stretch you thin.

This one’s been full.

We’ve learned that every market has its own rhythm, its own language.

And the truth is, no matter how good you think your product is, the market decides.

The market decides if your work, your offering, deserves a seat at the table.

New markets are opening, and with them comes nuance.

More hours. More thought. More trade-offs.

It’s worth it.

Because Canadians deserve the same quality of care that professional sport demands, delivered privately, locally, and done right.

More businesses are emerging in the performance rehab space.

The tide is changing.

And a rising tide raises all ships.

Weekend Musings 💭

For the first time, we stepped outside ØRKA’s walls and brought Plinth to Podium into a new environment — new faces, new energy, and plenty of unknowns.

What unfolded was better than we could’ve planned.

Here’s what we learned:

🧱Building something genuine starts with humility.

🚪The best conversations happen when egos are left at the door.

🔎The biggest mistake a practitioner can make is losing curiosity — whether you’re in pro sport, entering practice, running a clinic, or leading a team.

We learn just as much during these weekends as the knowledge we share. They challenge our methods, and our biases.

We leave with new ideas, sharper methods, and alternate workflows — curated through the brilliant discussions shared over the past three days with a switched-on group of people.

We don’t have all the answers. Far from it. But after three years in the trenches of private-sector rehab, we’ve earned a few scars — and they’ve taught us more than any win ever could.

We stand on the shoulders of the giants who built this space before us, and we’re proud to play a small part in shaping the next chapter of Canada’s rehab-to-performance story.

Grateful for the 3 days, with great people.

People who are in it for the right reasons.

People who care about doing the work — the real work.

When the clock winds down on my career, weekends like this will stay with me.

We’ll see you in the 6ix🫡

I'm a strong believer that a physiotherapist shouldn't be coaching a squat or deadlift, if they don't squat or deadlift. Plug and play this for any other high-intensity sporting action.

To truly understand movement, you need to perceive patterns. And to perceive patterns, you need a trained coaching eye—recognizing key shapes and postures throughout the kinetic chain.

Take acceleration:
✅ Forward lean & workable launch angle
✅ Open/Closed Elbow Angles & competent hip flexion / thigh separation
✅ Piston-like leg action & shoulders over knees
✅ Vertical foot & end-range hip extension

Can your athlete:
⚡ Find a strong launch angle?
⚡ Switch legs efficiently?
⚡ Stay quick & reactive on the ground?
⚡ Gradually ascend to max velocity?

If not, what is your workflow? Are they restricted physically (articular/myofascial mobility)? Do you have drills to address the above?

If you don’t see these patterns, you’re missing the details that separate good from great. 🏆
