We’re excited to introduce Kyle, the newest member of our Southeast Physiotherapy team. Kyle grew up in Carlyle, Saskatchewan, so being back in the southeast feels a lot like coming home.

My Path to Becoming a Physiotherapist

My introduction to physiotherapy started as a patient. After dealing with a few sports injuries, I had the opportunity to work with some incredible physiotherapists who helped me through my recovery. Those experiences really stuck with me — not only did they help me heal physically, but they made a lasting impact on how I viewed health and movement. That’s what inspired me to become a physiotherapist myself.

While I was playing junior and college hockey, I worked with Deanna Wells in Regina as an assistant Strength and Conditioning coach during my summers. We often worked with young athletes managing injuries, and I saw firsthand the frustration that came when pain or setbacks affected their ability to perform. Those moments, combined with my own rehab experiences, really cemented my passion for helping people navigate pain, recovery, and movement with confidence.

My Treatment Philosophy

I take an active, movement-based approach to rehabilitation, combining strength training, exercise prescription, and hands-on techniques to help people reach their specific goals.

I’ve never believed in a one-size-fits-all approach — no two people move or heal the same way. That’s why I focus on building individualized treatment plans that reflect each person’s needs and lifestyle.

Areas I’m Passionate About

I genuinely enjoy working with patients of all ages, but I have a special passion for helping athletes. Being treated as an athlete myself was what first sparked my interest in physiotherapy, so it’s really meaningful to now help others return to sport pain-free and performing at their best.

A Memorable Experience

One of the most rewarding moments I’ve had was during a hospital placement, where a patient I was working with took his first steps in months. Seeing the joy on his face when he realized he could walk again is something I’ll never forget. It reminded me how powerful movement can be — and how much of a difference physiotherapy can make in someone’s life.

What I Hope My Patients Feel

After each session, I want my patients to feel valued, supported, and encouraged. My goal is to help people return to the activities that make them happy and confident — whether that’s sport, work, or day-to-day life. I also like to remind people that physiotherapy isn’t just about a quick fix; it’s a process. Recovery takes time, and with patience and effort, it can lead to lasting results and even prevent future injuries.

Lifelong Learning

One of my clinical instructors once told me, “Physiotherapy is a lifelong learning process.” That piece of advice has really stayed with me. The more I practice, the more I realize how true it is—there’s always something new to learn, whether it’s a different treatment approach, a new way to motivate patients, or research that challenges what we thought we knew.

I believe that continuing education is one of the best ways to provide high-quality care. I’m always looking to build on my knowledge and refine my skills so that I can adapt to each patient’s needs and stay current with the evolving science of movement and rehabilitation.

Some of the areas I’m especially interested in expanding my expertise in include concussion rehabilitation, vestibular rehabilitation, acupuncture, and manual therapy techniques. I’m also fascinated by how strength and conditioning principles tie into physiotherapy—how improving functional strength, coordination, and balance can not only help people recover but also prevent future injuries.

As a lifelong learner, I’m motivated by the idea that I can always be a little better for my patients tomorrow than I was today. That mindset keeps me curious, humble, and passionate about what I do.

Life, Community, and Staying Active

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll usually find me staying active—whether that’s working out, golfing, running, or playing hockey. Hockey has been a huge part of my life and taught me many lessons about perseverance, teamwork, and balance. It’s also taken me to some amazing places, from playing across Saskatchewan and Ontario to spending four years in Vermont playing college hockey while earning my Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sport Science.

Growing up in Carlyle, I’ve always appreciated the strong sense of community and connection that comes with small-town life. After spending years away for hockey and school, it feels great to return to southeast Saskatchewan and be part of a team that shares those same values.

I’m excited to call Estevan home, get involved in the community, and help people feel their best—whether that’s getting back to sport, recovering from injury, or improving everyday movement. I’m looking forward to building meaningful relationships with patients and colleagues alike, and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together at Southeast Physiotherapy.
