Nathan is a Kinesiologist at Neuromotion. He completed his Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia.
Growing up, Nathan always enjoyed being active and playing sports. After high school, he wanted to learn more about the human body and how it moves, so he pursued a degree in kinesiology. Through school and his experience working with children with autism, Nathan learned how much of an impact physical activity can have on an individual’s quality of life and decided that he wanted to help people achieve functional independence. After volunteering at Neuromotion for over a year, Nathan was able to see how effective rehabilitation was at bringing positivity into clients’ lives and realized that he would love to be a helping hand in that process. He would like to further his experience as a practitioner and hopefully become a physiotherapist one day.
In his free time, Nathan enjoys doing anything active, geeking out about fantasy television, and trying new cuisines.
