Scott was born and raised in the Northwest Territories, where his parents instilled a love for the outdoors as well as a desire to help others achieve an active, healthy lifestyle. Prior to pursuing a career in healthcare, he completed an honours degree in Outdoor Recreation and a bachelor’s degree in Biology from Lakehead University. He then returned to the north and was employed in the diamond mining industry doing environmental work. 

In 2003, Scott moved to Alberta to begin his career as a Certified Athletic Therapist. During that time he has completed full-body certification in Active Release Techniques (ART)®, having most recently completed the Spine course in October 2008.  Additionally he has completed certification in osteopathic Muscle Energy Techniques for the entire spine and sacroiliac (SI) joint. These two powerful techniques form the basis of his treatment approach, combined with exercise prescription and physical modalities such as ultrasound and interferential current.

In his career as an athletic therapist, Scott has worked with a number of sports teams including hockey, basketball and soccer. Since moving to Canmore, he is pleased to have served as the team therapist for the Bow Valley Wolverines Football team since 2007.
