I am the founder of peakkieniology.com and have been a practicing kinesiologist and member of the British Columbia Association of Kinesiologists since 2000. I completed a Bachelor of Human Kinetics (Kinesiology) at the University of British Columbia in 1997 and completed a Master of Science degree in exercise physiology, at the University of Victoria in 2000.
I completed the Matheson Functional Capacity Evaluation Certification program in 2013 and completed the Matheson Advanced Functional Capacity Evaluation course in 2016. In 2021, I completed the Metriks Functional Capacity Evaluation Certification program. I have conducted over 150 functional capacity evaluations to date.
My practice as a kinesiologist has primarily been focused on occupational rehabilitation. In addition to performing functional capacity evaluations and making recommendations based on those assessments, I also design and implement active rehabilitation programs for persons with various orthopedic injuries as well as design and monitor graduated return-to-work plans for injured workers. Other assessments I perform include ergonomic assessments and post-offer employment testing. I also have experience and training with regard to managing and assessing post-concussion syndrome. Moreover, I also perform medical reviews and prepare rebuttal reports for medical-legal cases. I have previously been accepted as an expert witness in the areas of functional capacity evaluation and active rehabilitation and have testified as such.
