Chris Rigby

ENCOURAGING AND SUPPORTIVE PHYSIOTHERAPIST

Chris Rigby completed his Master’s of Physiotherapy in 2019 from McMaster University and previously completed an Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences in 2017 from the University of Ottawa. Before moving back to Ottawa in 2021, Chris worked in a small town community practice clinic and a regional hospital, gaining experience in a broad range of physiotherapy practices across different health care settings.

One of the things that drew Chris to physiotherapy was the opportunity to connect with people in helping them to address pain and overcome limitations. He uses a combination of education, manual therapy, exercise, and adjunct therapeutic techniques to assist individuals in reaching their goals. Chris has special interests in helping clients with knee pain and rehabilitation, BPPV (a type of vertigo) and optimal ageing through a healthy relationship with exercise.

Chris dedicates his time to ongoing education and professional development and currently has taken the following courses:

  • Advanced Physical Therapy Education Institute (APTEI): Introduction to Acupuncture and Dry Needling
  • Shift Concussion: Best Practices in Concussion Management (Level 1)
  • APTEI Pain Truth Certification (Persistent Pain Management)
  • APTEI Temporo-Mandibular Joint
  • Vestibular Rehabilitation: A Comprehensive Introduction and Advanced Vestibular Rehabilitation

In his free time, Chris enjoys hiking, downhill skiing and playing the drums.
