Meet Trevor!

Trevor Reid is our latest addition to the clinic and we are thrilled to have him! Originally from Langley, Trevor’s passion for physiotherapy may only be rivaled with his love of all things aviation. Learn more about Trevor below!

What is something totally random that people won’t know about you?

I’m an aviation and space fanatic, I spend countless hours reading about aviation and space in my spare time. I plan on obtaining my pilot’s licence within a few years!

When did you decide you wanted to be a physio?

I decided to pursue physio in high school as my favourite classes were always PE and biology. Therefore, physio was the perfect career for me as it allowed me to work in a field that combined my interest in physical activity and science. Additionally, I have spent many hours attending physiotherapy from various injuries throughout my life. These experiences motivated me to pursue such a rewarding career.

Which sports are you into?

I enjoy weightlifting, soccer, and hockey, but football is my favourite to watch!

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Langley and only just recently moved to Vancouver.  

What is your favourite orthopaedic condition to treat?

My favourite orthopedic condition to treat is shoulder pain. Specifically, I enjoy treating impingement syndrome. The shoulder is an amazing region of the body and it typically responds very well to physiotherapy intervention!

Travelling! I think my next trip will be somewhere in Europe!

What is something totally random that people won’t know about you?

In 2011, I sat with The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate (as well as Prime Minister Steven Harper, the Governor General and more) during the opening ceremony of the Calgary Stampede.

When did you decide you wanted to be a physio?

I always knew I wanted to be in health care but did not know exactly what field. It wasn’t until the end of my second year of university when I began to work at a physiotherapy clinic as a Kinesiology co-op student that I really developed a passion for the profession. After this experience, I spent the remaining two years of my undergraduate degree taking additional courses such as advanced Human Anatomy and Physiology, Sports Injuries and Prevention, and more to help further my interest and knowledge.

Which sports are you into?

Basketball and rugby. I developed a passion for basketball at a young age and was involved in multiple clubs and organizations that travelled to compete. Rugby was a second sport that I enjoyed a lot! I developed a lot of friendships and life skills through sport.

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in a small town of 5,000-6,000 people called Mackenzie in Northern BC. Snow would last up to 8 months there!

What is your favourite orthopaedic condition to treat?

Anything to do with the shoulder! I just find the shoulder complex extremely fascinating with all the different joints involved and areas to look at that can contribute to someone’s symptoms.

What makes you happiest?

Being with family and friends! I also really enjoy my fitness routine at the gym because that it my 1-2 hours where I can completely turn off my brain from everything.
