I thought I might never be able to run again because of my knee issues. But this summer, I started running again, completed the longest run I’ve done in 17 years, and even joined my first 5K fun run in that long. Eric worked with me over a series of sessions to improve how I move and my alignment, strengthen imbalances, and help me gradually and safely return to running. At every check-in, he listens carefully to what I’ve accomplished, where I’m struggling, and any pain or discomfort I’m experiencing, then adjusts my exercises and plans the next stage of my progress. When my personal gym routine resulted in neck pain, we worked through that too. Being an active adult, I appreciate having regular check-ins to help me stay at my best.

I honestly can’t recommend Eric enough. From the very first visit, my experience with him has been nothing short of amazing. When I came in, I was dealing with severe foot pain that had been on and off for over three years. It was eventually diagnosed as plantar fasciitis, and at its worst, the pain was easily an 8 or 9 - especially first thing in the morning. I had already tried everything I could think of - massage therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture - but nothing gave me lasting relief. What really sets Eric apart is his approach. He didn’t just go along with my assumptions or rush to label the issue. He took the time to properly assess what was going on over the first few sessions, and I really appreciated how thoughtful and thorough he was. Once he pinpointed the problem, he built a personalized plan with exercises that we worked through together during each session, constantly adapting them based on my progress. I’ll admit, the exercises were challenging at first, and I wasn’t completely convinced they would work - but I trusted the process. About three months later, I had a full routine of over 10 targeted exercises, and for the first time in years… my foot pain was completely gone. That kind of transformation speaks for itself. Eric is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in getting results for his clients. I’m absolutely going to continue working with him, and if you’re dealing with pain and looking for a physiotherapist in Hamilton, do yourself a favor and book with Eric - you won’t regret it.

Eric is amazing. I have worked with him for several years as a fitness trainer and physio therapist. He combined several modes of physio for me, lots of deep tissue work, personalized physio exercises and personal training. He always listens well, addresses the underlying issues very well having an extremely good sense of movement and the body and always has me reducing pain, reaching potential and confidence beyond my imagination. He has a huge, very creative, roster of technique and exercise movements always personalized to my issues. He is very personable and puts clients at ease. I highly recommend him.

When you follow our recommended Heal + Prevent™ program, you’re committing to a personalized plan designed to help you recover from injury, improve movement quality, build physical capacity, and support your long-term active lifestyle. If our recommended program doesn’t result in improvement, we’ll pay for your first appointment with another Hamilton physiotherapist.

The Pursue Guarantee.

How can we be so confident?

Because we’ve helped many active adults recover from injury, move better, return to the activities they enjoy, and continue pursuing their goals with greater confidence.

Pursue Physiotherapy + Performance has changed the way I look at recovering after pitching. Eric is an amazing practitioner who has shown me the proper corrective exercises to extend the longevity of my career and increase my performance when it matters.

Eric and Pursue Physiotherapy + Performance have really helped me deal with my bursitis. Having been a swimmer for over 15 years, I always just dealt with the pain, but Eric has shown me ways to treat it daily with corrective exercises that have really helped, and now I don’t have to just manage the pain anymore.

What to Expect

During your first session

Set your performance targets and map out the path to your fittest self.

  • Tell us where you’re at and where you want to be.
    What do you want to achieve? What are your sports and fitness history and goals? What are your lifestyle habits?
  • Receive a comprehensive, hands-on biomechanical, movement, and fitness assessment.
    Learn about the limiting factors in your muscle tone, mobility, stability, and symmetries that create injury risk and block you from peak performance. Explore lifestyle optimization strategies, including nutrition and sleep hygiene, for peak performance.
  • Perform assessment exercises.
    By observing your movement, we uncover your unique functional movement issues.
  • Get a personalized performance plan.
    Your customized plan reflects your fitness goals while accounting for movement and performance deficits as assessed. For example, if you have a history of injuries, your program includes corrective exercises. If you want to lose weight, it includes cardiovascular activity. If you’re looking to make power gains, you’ll perform intense exercises. We balance heavy, slower resistance training and quick, explosive, ballistic movements to suit you. The programming moves you through these developmental phases:

    • Phase 1: Movement, mobility, stability quality, and foundational capacity
    • Phase 2: Strength and movement conditioning
    • Phase 3: Power, speed, endurance, body composition, and resilience optimization.
  • Learn how to reach your goals optimally.
    You’ll understand your training strategy, at-home time commitments, and in-clinic Optimization Session schedule.

During your program

With your personalized program in hand, set out on the path to building your optimal self.

  • Perform your scheduled workout sessions at home.
    Our in-clinic coaching on each exercise sets you up to confidently perform them on your own.
  • Check in with your physiotherapist at your Optimization Sessions to discuss your workouts, challenges, and achievements.
    Have your current movement and functional capacity reassessed. Each Optimization Session is a critical step toward reaching your fitness goals more quickly and effectively.
  • When your body has sufficiently adapted, progress to the next phase of your strength and performance program.
    This increase in training stimulus will help you safely increase your functional capacity.
  • Maintain your momentum with in-clinic or virtual sessions, or ask whether an in-home session is available in your area.
    Sometimes you can’t make it to the clinic. Virtual sessions keep your program moving, and in-home sessions may be available depending on your location and our schedule. Ask about options when you book.
  • Be fuelled by our contagious passion, and celebrate each win together!
    Woo! 🙌

For People Who Want a Higher Ceiling

If you want performance built on how your body actually moves, this is the right place.

Functional Movement Mastery is physiotherapist-designed programming that progresses through movement quality, then strength, then power and endurance. Some clients arrive from rehabilitation with a base to build on. Others already train seriously and want a plan with more intent behind it.

  • Be coached and assessed by a licensed physiotherapist, not an assistant—at every appointment.
  • Experience a one-on-one exercise program tailored just for you.
  • Receive hands-on treatment, including muscle relaxation, knot elimination, soft tissue release, and joint loosening.
  • Strengthen weaknesses to recover from current injuries and avoid future injuries.
  • Build the physical capacity to keep doing what you love, for years to come.
  • Access virtual and remote sessions for added convenience.
  • Benefit from transparent problem-solving and whatever is in your best interest to address your issues, with referrals to other trusted wellness experts for additional or alternative support if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ll discuss your goals to understand what drives you, whether that’s performance in a specific sport or general fitness. To create a baseline, we’ll evaluate habits, range of motion, strength, and movement patterns. Then, we’ll work through your custom program and get started with your first workout.

Pursue Physiotherapy + Performance is the physiotherapist Hamilton active adults count on for holistic, preventive programs. Based on movement analysis, your program incorporates the right corrective and optimizing exercises for you, ranging from slower resistance training to explosive ballistic movements. The personalized intensity and complexity deliver results while helping prevent injury.

You’ll move toward your goals with a set workout schedule. We’ll continue to assess your progress, making adjustments as needed. Our structured process progresses you through stability and mobility, functional movement and conditioning, followed by power, speed, endurance, and body composition optimization. Your body and mind will evolve to reach goal after goal.

When we create your personalized training plan, we’ll set clear goals to track your progress. The number of sessions you’ll need depends on your goals and personal circumstances. Typically, sessions are once, twice, or three times weekly.

Your initial session, where we conduct a thorough fitness assessment, lasts about 60 minutes. This allows us to accurately tailor your starting regimen. Subsequent sessions can vary from 30 to 90 minutes, tailored to meet your needs and objectives.

Movement analysis is crucial to developing the best program possible for you. Assessment can include functional movement, agility, and muscular endurance to establish your benchmark and set realistic and ambitious training goals.

Most sessions will include brief assessments to ensure that you’re progressing and that your program includes the right exercises for your unique goals. Occasionally, we’ll perform more comprehensive evaluations to truly understand your development.

Wear comfortable workout attire that allows unrestricted movement, and bring a water bottle. We’ll take care of the rest, including any specialized equipment needed for your workout.

Please arrive about 5 minutes early and ready to work out.

In-person sessions enable hands-on assessment that provides greater insight into your progress. But if visiting in person isn’t viable, virtual sessions are still a powerful tool to enhance your performance and fitness.

You’ll need a big enough space to let you move around freely. For the movement analysis, you’ll need a webcam that can be repositioned so we can view your movements. A few small pieces of workout equipment can prove handy, but we’ll recommend any specific equipment needed.

In-home physiotherapy and Functional Movement Mastery sessions are available in Hamilton, Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Burlington, and Grimsby, subject to scheduling.

Travel fees are based on total round-trip travel time and billed in 10-minute increments: $15 per 10 minutes for the first 30 minutes, and $20 per 10 minutes beyond 30 minutes. We’ll confirm any travel fees before your appointment.

Indicate your preference and address when booking, and we’ll let you know whether an in-home session is available.

Just give us one week’s notice, and we’ll be happy to put your program on pause for up to two months with no additional fees or penalties.

Take the first step toward optimizing your resilience and continuing to perform at your best.
