Alex obtained his Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Pharmacology with Great Distinction from the University of Saskatchewan in 2013, a Masters of Public Health from Simon Fraser University in 2016, and a Masters of Physical Therapy from the University of Saskatchewan in 2020.
Alex has worked in a variety of settings as a therapist, including the Northern Saskatchewan village of Ile-a-la-Crosse. However, he had the call to come back to his hometown of Saskatoon, where he is privileged to join Blaine, D’Arcy and the rest of the Mackie Family. Alex is dedicated to ensuring you are receiving the highest quality of treatment that can be provided. His passion for the body and manual therapy has made him a lifelong student of the profession, and a natural fit for Mackie’s. His dedication to the Mackie Mentorship program has set him up for highly developed manual therapy skills and critical problem-solving which relays to optimal patient care and attention. His desire for a deep understanding of the biomechanics that are influencing your injuries will ensure your assessments and treatments are thorough, detailed, and accurate. His enthusiasm for learning about you and your story will ensure that you can walk away feeling as though someone has listened to you and your goals have been met. Raised in Saskatoon, Alex was heavily involved in sports growing up, primarily as a competitive swimmer. While his glory days in the pool are far behind him, he has transitioned into more of a weekend warrior athlete where he keeps the dream alive! These days, you can find him in a variety of outdoor spaces in the city (season dependent), where he enjoys activities like canoeing, skiing, and running the trails with his faithful pup, Ellie. |
