Dan took the scenic route to his career in physiotherapy, working as a muscle physiologist and researcher before completing his training in physical therapy. He currently spends much of his time advancing the rehabilitation research program with the Pan Am Clinic Foundation. This includes the Return to Sport Clinical Research Program, which focuses on exploring innovative techniques and technologies to help athletes restore and reach new levels of performance following orthopedic injury. When not at work, Dan enjoys spending time with his family and dogs, and lifting weights.
