  Brad Zdriluk
  Physiotherapist

  Speaks: English

  Brad is a Registered Physiotherapist and Clinic Director at Fairview Physiotherapy. He completed his education at McMaster University receiving his Honours Bachelor of Science Kinesiology and a Master of Science in Physiotherapy degree from Robert Gordon University. He has worked in a variety of settings, encompassing sports medicine, rheumatology, and orthopedic surgery.

  When asked what drew him to physiotherapy Brad had this to say: “I had always spent a lot of time at physiotherapy clinics. As a national level downhill mountain bike racer, it comes with its fair share of injuries. I always had a great time working with the physiotherapists and it gave me something to aspire to.”

  Outside of work, Brad indulges in such activities as golfing, mountain-biking, crossfit and hiking.
