Carman has a Bike Fit Systems certification and integrates physiotherapy with his bike fits for injury prevention, comfort and optimal riding efficiency.

Treatment Philosophy

Carman believes in an integrated approach to getting a person back to performing at their best.  This involves looking at the person as a whole in an accurate, detailed physical assessment, followed by education, manual therapy or manipulation, IMS needling, muscle tissue release, and a thorough corrective exercise program.  Over the years, he has seen the significant impact physiotherapy can have in bringing someone back to living abundantly well.
