personality

Graham knew from Junior High that he wanted to work in health care and do something that combined his passions for helping others, movement, activity and sport. So it was not by accident that having played elite levels of volleyball in University in a team environment, he discovered a match in the physiotherapy profession. He set his mind to it, literally, as he attained major academic awards along the way while balancing the demands of sport and education. Graham has a flare unlike any other. It’s not bright and loud like Grant, it is understated, witty and eloquent. This “cool nerd” (we love nerds at Leading Edge and so should our patients) is as comfortable in a text book as he is on the golf course, volleyball court or playing with his kids. At Leading Edge, we love the nerds who have fun, play sports and most important, genuinely care for people and can relate to them at the same time. Graham has this in spades and he was an immediate fit with all of us at Leading Edge. He is an obvious addition to the team. Graham has since moved to help lead our Sherwood Park clinic and he is ready to make a difference.

• Favorite book – an ardent hockey fan, Graham covets his Wayne Gretzky autobiography
• Favorite sport – true to his personality, he would never want to single out one sport as it would not be fair to the other sports. Graham enjoys volleyball, hockey, golf and skiing and he enjoys them all equally of course.
• Favorite movie – since he is rarely able to watch any movies these days (with the time he spends among his other loves watching his kids, cartoons and sports), he digs deep in the vault for TOP GUN. Who can blame him as except for the feather hair cut he bares a faint resemblance to GOOSE.
• Favorite Hobby – when life becomes your hobby they begin to blend. He enjoys golf, caring too much for the Oilers, hanging out with his family, house and yard DIY’s
• Clinical Pet Peeve – Rachel’s hitting and yelling (only kind of kidding here)
• Something you may not know about him – he grew up in a small, dutch hamlet called Neerlandia (yes it really exists: seriously here is the google map)
• Staff say – “we LOOOOOOOOOOVE Graham” – it kind of annoys the rest of us. I mean what are we chopped liver?
• Superhuman Talent –he is able to identify what is for dinner within 5 seconds of walking into the house!

edge

Graham graduated with a Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Alberta in 2009 earning The Dean’s Medal in Rehabilitation Medicine. This is serious stuff and demonstrates not only his intelligence but his hard work and dedication to being the best in his class. Prior to this, he won the Governor General’s Academic Silver Medal for the highest GPA in his graduating class at King’s University. Showing he is not just a big brain with dashing good looks, while at The King’s University, he was a member of the Men’s Volleyball Team (2003-2006) that won an Alberta College Athletic Conference Bronze medal and reached as high as a #3 national ranking. He has completed certification in Acupuncture through AFCI, a variety of manual therapy techniques including Charles Kelly Muscle Mobilization, McKenzie Part A, Mulligan Mobilization, cancer rehabilitation and Level 1 and 2 courses offered through the Orthopaedic Division. The scary part is that his journey is just beginning. Graham combines a wealth of skills and techniques with a brilliant mind for finding the effective combination just for you.
