TIM SHANTZ
CAT (C) B.E.S.S., CPT
Athletic Therapist
After spending his first 18 years in northern Manitoba, Tim moved to Winnipeg to attend the University of Manitoba where he blended his two passions; sports and healthcare by completing his bachelors degree in Athletic Therapy. For many years he balanced clinical practice with high performance strength & conditioning, working with such teams as team Canada volleyball and U of M Bisons men’s and women’s hockey teams, as well as personal training and chronic disease management at the Wellness Institute at Seven Oaks Hospital.
Now residing in Morden with his wife Dana and their sons Sully and Theo (oh and dog Capone!), Tim’s clinical practice includes specialization in vestibular assessment and treatment as well as foot orthotic assessment, and pediatrics. When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll find him at the rink working with the hawks hockey program, or with his family outside: biking, skiing, hunting, golfing, and just enjoying the outdoor opportunities the Pembina Valley has to offer!

In her 16 year physiotherapy career, she has served people in diverse settings including hospitals, rehab centres, private clinics, and now in people’s homes.

Challenges are opportunities from Rebecca’s point of view and you will surely be motivated towards a growth mindset when working with her.
