About Me
Helping you move, play, and recover with confidence.
I'm Adrian Smith, a Registered Physiotherapist with advanced training in kinesiology and physical therapy and experience across both hospital and private clinic settings. My approach is personalized and evidence-based — understanding the root cause of pain or dysfunction, and building a plan that gets you back to what you enjoy, feeling stronger and more confident.
More About Me
Who I work with, and how I approach care
I work with individuals of all ages — including those recovering from orthopedic or cardiac surgery, active individuals managing sports-related injuries, and older adults focused on healthy aging. I have particular expertise in strength and conditioning-based rehabilitation, helping patients rebuild capacity safely and effectively.
With my Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) certification, I also bring specialized golf-specific knowledge — whether the goal is staying healthy, reducing injury risk, or returning to the game after pain or surgery. Whether the goal is recovery, performance, or long-term health through aging, I aim to provide focused, professional care tailored to each patient.
Originally from the countryside of Nova Scotia, I stay active myself through rock climbing, soccer, watching Blue Jays games, and playing 18 holes of golf whenever I can.
