Physiotherapist, Certified Hand Therapist

Peter's journey began in the foothills of the Himalayas in north India, where he studied at an International school until age 13 before returning to the UK with his family. Over the next 12 years in Scotland, he completed high school, played guitar in a band, and developed a passion for running.

Continuing his education on the south coast of England, Peter earned consecutive Bachelor's degrees in Sports Science and Physiotherapy by 1994. His career in hand therapy began in 1996, leading him to collaborate with hand surgeons in Bath, where he helped develop Orthopaedic Physiotherapy Hand Specialist practices. He also mentored therapists, supervised students, and co-founded a yearly study day for Hand Therapy Specialists in the UK.

In 2008, Peter and his family relocated to Vancouver, initially for two years, but they fell in love with the city and stayed. Since then, he has worked in hand therapy full-time in the lower mainland, mentoring therapists and guiding physiotherapy students. He completed a Masters Degree in Hand Therapy in 2016.

Outside of work, Peter is an avid trail runner,  mountain biker and hiker and is known to occasionally pick up his guitar. When needed, Peter assists at the Alpine Hand Clinic in Squamish.

Peter works Mondays, Wednesdays. Thursdays and Fridays.
