James Anderson

Registered Physiotherapist

James is a resident physiotherapist who graduated from the University of Toronto with a Master of Science in Physical Therapy. Prior to this, James completed his Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from Dalhousie University with a certificate in disability management. In addition to these degrees, he is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS).

James developed a passion for physiotherapy at a young age from dealing with injuries himself while competing as a competitive basketball player for various clubs in the city of Ottawa. This interest continued during his undergrad, where he worked as a student athletic trainer for the Saint Mary’s men’s basketball team.

James has a keen interest in orthopaedics and manual therapy, which has led him to taking post-graduate courses such as Mulligan Upper Quadrant and Manual Therapy.

With a background in strength and conditioning, James believes in a very active approach to the rehabilitation process and takes pride in incorporating a very patient-centered model of care. He strongly believes in creating an individualized program with a combination of manual therapy, exercise and patient education. He has experience working with a range of patients from pediatric to geriatric with an interest in helping active adults and athletes with their orthopaedic conditions return to their specific goals.

Outside of work, James enjoys a very active lifestyle and enjoys hobbies such as playing golf, basketball, football, going for hikes and strength training.
