Matthew Lacasse
Matt has been practicing physiotherapy for over 5 years and continues to be inspired by the adaptability and resiliency of the human body. He uses an evidence-based and goal-oriented treatment approach including education, exercise, manual therapy, dry needling (IMS) and coaching. He loves learning about his patient’s “life story” to better treat them as a person rather than an injury.
Matt’s physiotherapy journey began while studying at McGill University where he worked as a student therapist with the men’s varsity rugby and soccer teams. He went on to earn his MSc. Physiotherapy at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland. Since graduating, he has worked extensively with athletes, older adults, and people living with chronic pain. Matt has also worked at the Lion’s Gate Hospital treating patients post-operatively for shoulder, hip and knee replacements.
Matt has taken numerous continuing education courses focussing on the assessment and treatment of the neck, low back and shoulder. To upskill his manual therapy practice, Matt completed an intensive 18-month certification program through Evidence in Motion in the US. He has further extended his scope to include the management of mTBI (concussion) and vestibular disorders.
Matt is an avid marathon runner who hopes to one day qualify for the Boston Marathon. In 2023 he suffered a foot injury playing soccer requiring multiple surgeries and time away from running. During his own rehab journey, Matt dedicated himself to becoming a “running nerd” by taking courses on running-related injuries and performance coaching. Matt loves treating runners because he understands the important role it can play in a person’s quality of life and well-being.
Outside of the clinic walls, Matt enjoys playing soccer and tennis, surfing, disc golfing, hiking and walking his part-time corgi named Leonard. He is also an avid bookworm and lover of historical fiction. Matt’s happy place is up at his cabin on Keats Island with friends and family.
