Areas of Expertise/Approach
Elliott believes that physiotherapy should be holistic in nature, considering the impacts of physical injury on a patient’s work- and social-life. Physiotherapists should seek to provide patients with the clinical expertise to aid in the rehabilitation of current injuries, while also empowering patients through education. In doing so, physiotherapists are able to help in the prevention of re-injury enabling patients to continue pursuing the activities that are meaningful to them. He Currently coaches and provides athletic therapy services for high-performance field hockey players at Rob Short Coaching Academy.

Athletics
Elliott played field hockey internationally for the Canadian Senior Men’s and Junior Men’s National Field Hockey Teams from 2007-2013.
Despite having retired from competitive international competition, Elliott still enjoys pushing his mental and physical limits. Elliott is currently competing in off-road triathlon and looking to qualify for the World Championships in Maui. Outside of competition-related training, Elliott can often be found enjoying all that the pacific northwest has to offer. From backcountry skiing and surfing in the winter, to mountain biking, trail running and rock climbing in the summer, Elliott finds he feels most like himself when he is out in the elements. If you happen to be out in the North Shore trails keep your eyes peeled for Elliott and his two dogs Quinn and Kaia.
