Dr. Shawn Thistle-SHAPE Toronto-Chiropractor-Personal Fitness Trainer-Medical Acupuncture-ART® Provider-Conditioning Specialist-Health & Fitness Research Reviews
Description
I was born and raised in Stratford, Ontario, Canada and have been involved in fitness and health care since 1992. In June, 2004 I graduated (magna cum laude) from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto as a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.). Becoming a doctor specializing in musculoskeletal medicine was a natural extension of my undergraduate Honours Degree (summa cum laude) in Kinesiology from McMaster University, Hamilton specializing in exercise physiology and nutrition. In 2001, I attained certification as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist (C.S.C.S.) from the National Strength and Conditioning Association NSCA - USA. I also hold a D.Ac (Diploma of Medical Acupuncture 2004) through McMaster University's Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program, and certification in ART® Active Release Techniques.
My position as associate clinic director on the team of health care practitioners, strength and conditioning specialists and high-performance, fitness trainers at SHAPE Health and Wellness Centre Toronto, allows me to fully integrate my manual skills as a chiropractor, and a medical acupuncture practitioner, with the knowledge and experience gained from an extensive background in the exercise sciences.
I believe strongly in educating clients in all aspects of health and fitness. My diverse background and skill set allows me to assist in the areas of pain management, acute injury care, post-surgical rehabilitation, functional training and rehabilitation, weight loss and balanced nutrition, increasing muscle mass, improving athletic performance, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, stress management and sport-specific personal training. Individualized treatment protocols are designed and implemented using an evidence-based approach using only those interventions and methods of training offering the greatest proven benefit. Working closely with each client throughout training and therapy allows me to teach an appreciation of how the body responds to exercise and treatment as progress is made in achieving health and personal fitness goals.
