Coast Mountain Athletic Therapy

Expérience fantastique: This was my 3rd year joining the Mountain Strong program, an 8 weeks long - twice a week program to prepare for ski season. The results are clear. It allows me to ski stronger, and with more confidence right at the start of the season. The group setting of the lesson is also a big positive point for me. I find it hard to find the time to train, but Paul is dynamic and being surrounded by positive people really helps with motivation to show up give my best.

Expérience fantastique: Paul is awesome on so any levels; professional, knowledgeable, organized and approachable. Our 8 week/twice a week session was a great mix of exercises with no two sessions the same. Paul was hands on and often tailored someone’s specific exercise to fit their particular need. You always came away from your session knowing and feeling you just had an excellent work out. AND, his music is the best.

Expérience fantastique: Feeling ready for ski season!

Expérience fantastique: As a ski athlete and someone who has been working out for years, I can confidently say that working with Paul, has been a game-changer. Over the past year, Paul's unparalleled expertise has significantly improved my mobility and sports performance. His guidance has not only helped me recover from injuries but has also contributed to better posture. In my years of athletic pursuits, I've never encountered someone quite like Paul who has been instrumental in helping me achieve my fitness goals. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking dedicated and effective physical therapy.

Expérience fantastique: Highly recommend Paul! He has aided me tremendously in my knee rehabilitation after surgery by designing custom programs to get me back to skiing, biking and running etc. He took the time to assess the known as well as some unknown weaknesses I had and design a strengthening program to target those areas for not only rehabilitation but also injury prevention. His exercise explanations were clear and it is apparent that he has strong knowledge and experience in this area. I’ll lastly highly recommend Paul his fall “Mountain Strong” group training program to get back into skiing/snowboard shape where he is meticulous in his program design with a great warm up, workout as well as cool down/stretch. Thanks Paul!

Expérience fantastique: Working with Paul was a game changer for my ACL rehab. He helped me get strong pre and post surgery. I'm now 1 year post op and feel stronger than before my injury. Thanks!

Expérience fantastique: I started working with Paul just over a year ago to address some chronic knee and shoulder issues that were causing pain and holding me back from enjoying skiing and biking. Paul started with a thorough full body assessment, and coached me through a super targeted strength and mobility plan. He was really flexible to help find the right mix of exercises that I would be able to do consequently, either in the gym or at home, and I've been back a number of times to work updated programs or to look at different issues. I've been so happy to find someone like this that can help bridge pain management and rehabilitation into strength building and sports progression. I've recommended him to a lot of friends and there is now a good group of us seeing him semi regularly. One thing that I specifically like is that Paul records videos of him verbally coaching me through each exercise and sends them to me by email along with a training plan. It's a great reference because I sometimes find it a lot to keep track of learning a dozen new movements, and the videos are easy to revisit to make sure I'm remember the important cues.

Expérience fantastique: I had the privilege of working with Paul, an extraordinary athletic therapist, and I am beyond impressed with the level of knowledge and expertise he brought to my shoulder rehabilitation and strength training journey. From the moment I started training, it was evident that Paul's passion for his work is unparalleled. His extensive understanding of anatomy, physiology, and sports medicine made every session with him not only beneficial but also incredibly educational. Paul took the time to explain each exercise and its impact on my shoulder, ensuring that I was not just going through the motions but actively participating in my recovery. One of the standout qualities of Paul is his ability to tailor the rehabilitation program to my specific needs. He conducted a thorough assessment, identifying the root cause of my shoulder issues, and then designed a personalized plan that addressed both the immediate concerns and long-term strength development. His attention to detail and commitment to crafting a program truly set him apart.

Expérience fantastique: I am a 55+ active person and working with Paul has had a big impact on my ability to stay active and avoid injury. The initial video analysis was really insightful for showing me weaknesses (and strengths) in my movements. The program he designed is helping me to become a better at any of the activities I'm doing. My core stability has never been better! I really enjoy all of Paul's workouts and look forward to doing them every time. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to become a stronger, more robust athlete, whether you're competing or just loving your sports.

Expérience fantastique: Paul knows his stuff! I've been training with Paul since 2021, both for personal training and doing his Mountain Strong program 3 times to get ready for ski season. He's not only helped me recover from knee surgery but has been instrumental in building my confidence through strength training. He's consistently upping his professional game through development, and is an asset to the community in Squamish. I just hit the slopes yesterday and felt so good on skis thanks to his winter prep sessions!

Expérience fantastique: I saw Paul post ACL surgery. I contribute my strong and quick return to sport and work to him. Highly, highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Paul is amazing at what he does! He has helped me a lot with recovering from a surgery as well as aches and pains from weight training. If I could give him 6 stars I would

Expérience fantastique: Paul is an excellent athletic therapist and trainer. His understanding and knowledge of injuries and how to rehabilitate them is very impressive. He is able to design a program around my injuries, while still strengthening other areas. He also has a very good understanding of training for different sports and can give one a very sport specific program. His detection and correction skills are what make him a great trainer. He is able to pick up on incorrect movements patterns quickly and he will modify or change an exercise when he recognizes that one is too difficult for me on a certain day. But what I really enjoy about Paul is his willingness and ability to explain things in plain English. When I question what a specific exercise is for (usually one I don’t like doing or I am just curious ), he very patiently and clearly explains how this specific exercise relates to my climbing/ skiing/ hiking/ backpacking etc and will only make me better. Keeps me motivated. I highly recommend Paul to everyone.

Expérience fantastique: Paul is an excellent personal trainer. I have seen him for 1:1 sessions as well as taken part in his ski season preparation course, which I highly recommend! He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and a pleasure to be around.

Expérience fantastique: I have worked with Paul multiple times. He is very thorough in addressing the problem. He will show the anatomy of the area on his lap top and explain the problem that you are having and why. He has helped me get back to my athletic activities. He will also put together a program and exercises for you to rehabilitate.

Expérience fantastique: I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and expertise provided by Paul. After undergoing ACL reconstruction, I was faced with the daunting task of rebuilding mobility and strength in my knee, hip and leg muscles. Paul not only met but exceeded my expectations throughout the entire rehab process. His targeted approach not only helped me rebuild muscle strength and functional mobility but also honed in on crucial aspects like jumping and absorption. With Paul's guidance, I not only met but exceeded the demands of my return to sport assessments, gaining the confidence to resume snowboarding. Under Paul's coaching, each session was a dynamic blend of tailored exercises that addressed my specific needs. His unwavering support and encouragement not only facilitated the rebuilding of essential physical elements but also played a vital role in boosting my overall confidence. Thanks to Paul, I not only regained my pre-injury capabilities but surpassed them, confidently embracing the activities I love. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone seeking a dedicated and skilled athletic therapist who goes beyond the physical aspects, fostering both recovery and confidence!

Expérience fantastique: I have been seeing Paul at Coast Mountain Athletic Company in Squamish for a number of years, specifically for various back and hip issues. Usually after I do something stupid on my snowboard or mountain bike. He has always been able to provide a quick assessment and relief so I can get back to play quickly. But the most important thing I have learnt from Paul is how to manage myself and avoid injury. My visits to Paul are few and far between these days because I have implemented all of his advice into my training. The stretching and mobility exercises have changed my training mentality and my body is more resilient than ever. It does take work so do yourself a favour and listen to Paul!

Expérience fantastique: Paul is amazing! He is highly skilled and knowledgeable, and he provided the right exercises to resolve my chronic knee pain. Our sessions were very intentional and always different. I gained strength, mobility and balance as a result of our work together. I would highly recommend Paul as an Athletic therapist.

Expérience fantastique: Paul is an excellent therapist. Highly recommended for a post injury recovery. I had great experience and will keep coming.

Expérience fantastique: I would highly recommend Paul! For years I have struggled with different pains from activities. Paul was able to point out my weakness and help build a program around getting them strong again. It was amazing to notice hiking up the chief with two fully strengthened legs!!

Expérience fantastique: Paul helped me get back up and running after a knee injury. His approach was personalize to my problem. I am now stronger with his help!

Expérience fantastique: couldn't be happier with CMAT and Paul. He helped turn around a chronic injury, and helped rebalance other hidden issues prior to injury while I rehabbed. What a boss!

Expérience fantastique: Paul is the best practitioner I have every worked with. I have never felt so hopeful and in control of my injuries as I have after working with Paul. Paul puts you in the driving seat of your recovery, and gives you every tool you need to succeed. He treats each session as if he is solving a mystery, rather than giving generic assessments that are not personal to you. I've never felt as prepared for ski or bike season as I have after working with Paul!

Expérience fantastique: Paul is a fantastic coach and trainer. He manages to make ski season prep fun, intense and easy at the same time. His ski prep class is top notch and his training sessions are focused and tailored to individual strengths and challenges.
