Background

Post-grad, Michael worked as a lab instructor at Dalhousie, educating physiotherapy students. During his studies, Michael discovered his passion for fitness and rehabilitation. This is demonstrated through his work as a strength and conditioning coach (certifications from the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology and National Strength and Conditioning Association) and an athletic trainer for college varsity basketball. Michael has contributed to research with published works in the areas of psychology and sport.

Michael has a friendly and charismatic approach to physiotherapy. Through functional movement and exercise the client will take an active role in his/her recovery. In addition to improving one’s current condition, Michael believes that treatment is most effective when the client is empowered with the knowledge and tools to prevent future injury.

Drew Reinhardt has been a physiotherapist at Rebuild since 2019. He focuses on helping his clients achieve meaningful movement related goals through a combination of manual therapy and exercise based treatments. Manual therapy involves specific hands on treatment techniques that help move a joint through an increased range of motion, help restore optimal joint biomechanics, and help reduce muscular tension. These advanced techniques are designed to reduce pain and improve mobility to ultimately improve the effectiveness of exercise based treatments and optimize healing.

This approach has led to successful outcomes with many conditions including but not limited to:

Low back pain and sciatica

Neck pain and whiplash

Tennis elbow and Golfer’s elbow

Rotator cuff tears and shoulder pain

Knee pain and arthritis

Concussions and sports injuries

Drew has completed acupuncture and dry needling training, and is in the midst of completing advanced training in manual therapy techniques. He has a strong background in exercise based treatments through previous experience training athletes of all ages and his own sport training. He believes in not only treating the symptoms of your condition but also finding the root cause of the injury to help prevent recurrence.

Outside of the clinic Drew plays Senior AA hockey for the Clinton Radars, and loves golfing during the summer.
