  • Nick Tataryn, DPT, CSCS

    Physiotherapist, Strength Coach

    Nick graduated with his Doctor of Physiotherapy (DPT) from Bond University in Australia in June 2020. Prior to completing his physiotherapy program, Nick finished his Bachelors in Exercise Science from the University of Winnipeg. He has +10 years of experience as a Strength and Conditioning Coach with a wide spectrum of clientele. Throughout his career as a strength coach and physiotherapist, he has worked with young athletes with big aspirations in the junior/bantam levels, all the way to professional athletes in the NHL, NFL, MLB, and Olympics to name a few. He also has extensive experience working with the general population, whether that be weekend-warriors looking to rehab an injury or gain some strength, or clientele trying to meet their fitness goals while navigating a chronic disease/disability.

    Nick enjoys helping people get back to their "normal". Through clear communication, an open mind, and creating a individual client-centered treatment programs, his approach looks at each client as an "individual" navigating an injury/concern, as opposed to treating an "injury" on a person. Through collaborative goal setting early on, clients are not left in the dark and will understand where they are in their respective rehab process.

    Utilizing a combination of hands-on treatment/assessments and progressive exercises, Nick will work with you to get you where you want to be, whatever that may look like for you.
