MEET KENNETH C. W. SALMON

B.P.E., BSc. P.T., M.C.P.A.,

Physiotherapist

Over 35 Years' Experience

Member of Canadian Physiotherapy Association

​

Ken Salmon has combined his degrees in physical education and physiotherapy to develop an active approach to physiotherapy, over the past 30 years.  Ken is continually keeping abreast of new approaches in rehabilitation as well as new technology to assist patients in accessing our services. He recently received the latest training in concussion management. We now know much more about the physiology and assessment of concussion. Evaluation and proper progression of exercise are key components in assisting people returning to normal activity, work and sport.  Evidence based treatment is always striven for and when you combine this with experience and a very personalized approach the results are most often very positive.  Ken likes to stay active himself, participating in sailing, hiking, hockey, and skiing. He is really just trying to keep up to his three sons.

Native Canadian Thomas Andrew has been involved in the study and practice a manual therapy for 25 years. His energy and passion for helping others has led him on a journey that has exposed him to the philosophy of many healing arts from abroad, particularly the Far and Middle East. With time and exposure he learned to escape the feeling of confinement he had from his western orthopaedic perspective.

He has always been a manual therapist, firstly as a Massage Therapist, and Sports Therapist working in an environment with significant physical therapy influence, moving forward through the years with studies required for a Doctorate Degree in European Style Manual Osteopathy and a PhD in Physical and Rehabilitative Medicine.

Thomas has been involved in working with sports, physical therapy clinics, and in high end resorts where hospitality and presentation are paramount. His services were utilized by the World famous Cirque Du Soliel , Emirate Royalty, and elite athletes. He has written for Women's Health and Fitness Magazine Middle East. In recent years Thomas was also well known for being heard on radio, spreading his knowledge and enthusiasm for his love of Osteopathy. He treated his patients from a small clinic nestled on the beautiful south shores of Southampton Bermuda. With a love for health, fitness and a positive lifestyle, he promotes the well-being of people by encouraging them to take charge of their health. His wealth of experience is a grand contribution to those seeking to benefit from the broad spectrum of modalities offered by a Doctorate level Osteopath.
