Alex holds a Bachelor’s degree in Human Kinetics from the University of British Columbia, specializing in Clinical Exercise Physiology, and a Master’s in Physiotherapy from the University of Lincoln in England. His clinical and sports performance experience ranges from stroke rehabilitation to working with adolescent figure skaters and professional rugby athletes.

Alex approaches physiotherapy with a mix of compassion, collaboration, and a strong work ethic. Having personally sustained more injuries than he can count (name a joint—he’s likely hurt it), he understands the physical and emotional frustration of being unable to do what you love. That perspective fuels his commitment to not just getting clients back to function, but helping them thrive.

Success in Alex’s academic, athletic, and professional life has always come through effort—and he brings that same dedication to his clients. He’s outcome-driven, and won’t let effort be the limiting factor in their progress. His practice is rooted in evidence-based strategies, teamwork, and a deep belief that everyone deserves access to movement that feels meaningful.

Outside the clinic, Alex enjoys anything physical—cycling, alpine adventures, kayaking, climbing, and even surfing (though he’s still getting the hang of it). A former cook of eight years, he still loves making meals, playing piano, and getting regularly humbled by the weather, his athletic friends, or (of course) his girlfriend.

Growing up in Calgary, I spent most of my time playing soccer and staying active, an early foundation that shaped my love of movement. I went on to complete a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at the University of Victoria, and then earned my Master’s of Physical Therapy at Queen’s University. I chose physiotherapy because I’m fascinated by anatomy and rehabilitation, and I love helping people use exercise and movement to feel stronger, more confident, and more capable in daily life. I believe in a client-centered approach, combining hands-on manual therapy techniques, individualized exercise programs, and education to help you reach your unique goals efficiently and safely. My goal is simple: to help you get back to everything you love to do. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients, from sports injuries to neurological rehabilitation following a stroke. I have also completed additional training in assessing and treating Parkinson’s disease. Outside of the clinic, you will likely find me spending time with my dog, out on a hike, catching up with friends, reading, or binging a good TV show!

Biography Lauren Macauley is a dedicated physiotherapist with over a decade of experience, having graduated from Dalhousie University. She holds certifications in Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) therapy and is a recognized Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapists (FCAMPT).

Lauren has developed special interests in gait analysis for runners, plantar fascia and metatarsal pain, cervicogenic headaches, TMJ dysfunction, and in treating all forms of body sprains/strains. This has led her to work with a diverse range of international sports teams, from hurling and rugby in Ireland to Canada Games soccer teams and national rowers.

Lauren also specializes in concussion management, post-concussion syndrome, and vestibular rehabilitation, keeping up-to-date with the latest research and treatment techniques in this rapidly evolving field.
