Peter graduated from Queen's University with a Master of Science in Physical Therapy (2012).  Previously, he completed his Bachelor of Science honours degree in Kinesiology and Health Science at York University.  Peter has been working at Aurora Prime Physiotherapy since 2014, with a physiotherapy focus primarily in outpatient orthopaedics and vestibular rehabilitation.

In 2019, Peter graduated with a Diploma of Advanced Orthopaedic Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy from the Canadian Physiotherapy Association’s Orthopaedic Division. He is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manual Physical Therapy (FCAMPT).

In 2015, Peter completed his Advanced Vestibular Rehabilitation certification offered by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, and is trained in the assessment and treatment of vestibular disorders. He has extensive research in vestibular disorders through his thesis proposal at Queen’s University. He has held membership with the Vestibular Disorders Association since 2017.

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy, consisting of an exercise-based program for reducing the symptoms of vertigo and disequilibrium, that are associated with various vestibular disorders (i.e.; BPPV, vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, Meniere’s disease, etc). Vertigo is a common symptom noted by vestibular patients, and it is defined as “the illusion of movement (or spinning) that is not occurring in the environment”. 

Using the assessment results, Peter will develop an individualized treatment plan that includes vestibular habituation and balance retraining exercises. The Epley Maneuver that repositions tiny carbonate crystals back to their origin in the vestibular system may also be included as part of the treatment.
