My name is Dave Leyland and I am a graduate of the Physical and Health Education program and Physiotherapy programs at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. I am now working as a physiotherapist at Level 10 Fitness in North Vancouver and I also provide private consultations upon request.
Before becoming a physiotherapist I worked as a strength and conditioning coach for 5 years while completing my undergraduate and physiotherapy education. The experience in strength and conditioning has helped immensely with the transition into my work as a physiotherapist. The 2 realms can be and should be, highly connected.
With my current work I like to look at the whole body and try to figure out how dysfunction in multiple areas may lead to pain in one. I also pride myself in giving my patients one-on-one focussed care for a full 30-60 minutes and refuse to bounce around from patient to patient in multiple rooms. I believe this is what all physiotherapy clinics should work towards and becomes the common standard of care by the time my career is over.
