After sustaining several concussions through competitive sports at a very young age, and being diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome, I found myself missing weeks on end of highschool, taking bottles of advil and tylenol, and becoming extremely frustrated with the constant headaches I was experiencing. It was getting to the point that they were unbearable and I would just lay in my dark room for days on end upset with myself. At this point, I thought I had tried absolutely everything. From massages, to physio, to chiropractic treatments, going on anti-seizure medications, and even having my wisdom teeth removed to try to treat these headaches. Until I met Trevor. I was 16 at the time, and was honestly ready to try anything that worked. A friend had recommended him saying that he had completely alleviated her headaches within just a few treatments and that his techniques were different from everyone else.
After just one treatment with Trevor, my headaches were alleviated for a couple weeks. I followed up with him and did a couple more treatments within the next couple months that completely changed my life. I went from being almost unable to function due to consistent headaches for months on end, to not having a headache at all for months. Now at the age of 24, Ive gone back to see Trevor every couple years just for an adjustment, and can say I have lived headache free for almost 8 years. I can not think of a better person to recommend to people who are suffering with headaches or head trauma . This treatment will truely change your life.

I have struggled with scoliosis and sciatic pain for many years and have been to countless doctors who told me that I have “chronic pain” and that this is something that I have to live with for the rest of my life unless I get surgery to correct my scoliosis. I recently got pregnant and am currently 14 weeks. As my body started to shift through pregnancy, immediately the sciatic pain was the worst it’s ever been before. I’ve seen Trevor for 8 sessions so far and my back is completely straight and I’ve had no sciatic pain whatsoever. I cannot thank Trevor enough for helping me out through this pregnancy and I can finally exercise and not have to worry about being in pain after. Trevor is extremely knowledgeable, professional and his work is complete magic. I am forever grateful that I found him as a practitioner. He is truly incredible at what he does and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again, Trevor!
Update:I just wanted to say, I am a week out from the third trimester and I’ve had zero sciatic pain. Incredible 👌🏽

As an active sports women, I have accumulated many concussions, however, my most recent incapacitated my mind, body and soul. While playing soccer in the Women’s Premier League in the Cayman Islands, I experienced a high impact hit to the head, leaving me unconscious for several minutes. Months following this traumatic brain injury, I became unrecognizable to myself and others around me. I lost the ability to speak and read, felt disorientated and confused at all times, had severe headaches and migraines, loss of balance and coordination, blurred vision, difficulty with memory, and was living in a constant state of cognitive fog and fatigue. These debilitating symptoms completely eliminated me from all the joys in life. I didn’t even know who I was anymore. I had no choice but to take a leave of absence from teaching, withdrew from driving, quit all physical activities, and removed myself from everything I loved. Even walking upstairs caused exhaustion and fatigue that would last for days and at times resulted in fainting. The simplest everyday task became impossible and my happy, positive, energetic self soon became a faint image of my distant past. After numerous doctors appointments, assessments and medical tests, I was left with no treatment options and only advised to rest. I felt utterly hopeless for months.
Based on a recommendation to meet with Trevor for cranial treatments, my husband brought me to Canada. During this time of despair, when all aspiration for recovery from post-concussion syndrome was lost, I was very grateful to meet him. My first treatment provided me with instant relief from migraines, neck pain and tension, dizziness and anxiety. As treatments continued, my symptoms reduced each week and now after 4 months of weekly treatments, I have reclaimed who I once was.
My gratitude goes beyond words; I am forever indebted and grateful to Trevor for giving me my life back. His kindness and compassion exemplifies his true nature for healing. He takes time to listen and shares his knowledge, expertise and passion to aid recovery. I highly recommend anyone who has experienced a traumatic brain injury or post-concussion syndrome to seek treatment from Trevor. He is a true gem!

I got three minor concussions while playing baseball and soccer in high school and college. None of the hits were particularly hard, but something about my brain just wasn’t having it. Over the years, my existing symptoms worsened, and additional symptoms piled on. For four and a half years, I had extreme pressure in my head 24/7, occipital nerve pain, memory and concentration issues, and lost all semblance of a college social life. I was well on my way towards acceptance and shifting my life to accommodate the pains and anxiety of PCS when Trevor reached out to me.
Trevor is the 17th specialist I’ve seen, and the FIRST one to say “I can fix that.” He explained his method and findings to me and it made more sense than any of the half-answers and “I’m not sures” that I’ve gotten over and over. That alone was enough to make me hope again, and anyone with PCS knows how hard that is to do. So, I got on a plane from New York City to Victoria, BC and let Trevor take the wheel.
Over four weeks and 18 treatments, Trevor undid every structural problem in my body from years of throwing myself to the ground as a goalie and pushing my body to its limits. From there, he was able to move to my head and neck and reverse all of my symptoms of PCS. He was a patient listener, an intuitive healer, and an all around amazing guy who made me feel comfortable and cared for from the moment I walked in. It’s going to take a while for this new normal (or back to normal) to sink in, but I am forever grateful for what Trevor was able to do for me.

Trevor! Great update for you -
I’m officially one month into working out 4-5 times a week, with no worsening symptoms and very little need to modify exercises or workouts to accommodate the brainnnn!!!
Starting to feel so much more myself, I’d almost forgotten I was an athlete, and how much being active is necessary for me.

Migraines run in my family and for as long as I can remember I’ve had them and I’ve learnt to live with them. To top that off, six years ago while playing hockey, I was tripped and went head first into the boards. I got a concussion, and everything got a lot worse. The doctors said that since I was a migraine sufferer that the concussion is likely going to be more severe because it is on top of my ‘normal’ migraines but not to worry because with lots of rest I should be back on my feet in 2-4 weeks. They were wrong. The migraines became so unbearable and other symptoms came such as nausea, vomiting, light/noise sensitivity, mood swings, lack of appetite, dizziness, loss of balance, ringing in the ears, loss of memory and more. This was my new reality for 5 years before finding Trevor. For the first year and a half I slept between 18 and 22 hours a day getting up only to eat, brush my teeth, go to the bathroom etc. I didn’t attend school in grade six or seven and grade eight wasn’t much better. I was always an active kid and participated in everything I could but then after my concussion I couldn’t play any sports, hang out with my friends, go to school, watch tv or do anything that a typical kid would do. I was stuck in my bed in a dark room. Throughout the years I was put on dozens of medications with no relief, I tried every form of therapy from acupuncture to chiropractor to hypnosis to special diets and I had even seen a different osteopath prior to Trevor. I had basically given up on getting my life back and had fallen into what felt like an endless black pit just trying to get through each day as a high school student. Never did I think upon receiving this injury that it would impact my life in the way that it did. Then out of nowhere we came across Trevor. My parents were insistent that I go see him and give it a try. Like I said, I had already seen a different osteopath with no luck so I wasn’t too keen on going as I thought why would this time be any different? Fortunately my parents were persuasive and I went. Since Treatment with Trevor, my life has taken a complete 360 degree turn. Trevor has helped me so much and has been able to accomplish what others couldn’t. Now that I‘ve recovered from post concussion syndrome, I’ve been able to attend school for full days, go to the movie theaters, participate in sports such as swimming, ultimate frisbee, water skiing and rock climbing. I’ve been able to attend my siblings concerts and sporting events, stay up until midnight, listen to music way to loud in the car, all of which I’ve never been able to do since grade six. I‘m truly grateful for Trevor and his work and I only wish I could’ve found him sooner. Trevor is very kind, knowledgeable and compassionate which is what makes him so great at what he does. I would recommend Trevor to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you Trevor, you will never know how much you mean to me!

My last treatment with Trevor was around 5 years ago. Since then, I have been able to do, see and experience many things that in high school I had written off as impossible. After Trevor’s miracle work, I decided I had a lot of life to catch up on and moved to New Zealand in hopes to figure things out and “find myself”, as corny as it sounds. Without his help I can confidently say that I would be on a very different and much less fulfilling path. I am currently on my way to getting my undergrad in kinesiology, I have travelled alone to over 10 countries, I have been skydiving, I have gone off grid camping, I’ve taken up surfing, I’m laughing again with friends and enjoying the little things in life like staying up late, watching sunsets, driving with loud music and getting involved in sports.
Before finding Trevor my symptoms controlled my life. I struggled daily with “simple” tasks such as standing, reading, and writing, speaking, and staying awake all day. My short-term memory was shot, and my goal was just to finish high school in one piece. I have reached this milestone, but truthfully, I never thought that a university degree would be possible. I started university during the pandemic and was still living in New Zealand at the time. The reality of that was that all my classes were on the computer, I had no family or friends around me for help and some of my classes were at 3am due to the different time zone. With the concussion and without Trevor I would not have survived that year. After that year I moved back home, started working, successfully did another year of university online, travelled some more and got big into weight training and calisthenics. I’ve since returned home from Norway after studying physiotherapy there on exchange. In Norway, I did some of the most challenging and breathtaking hikes that I’ve ever done and pushed my comfort zone to a whole new level. Thanks to Trevor I have been able to do all these, in my mind, incredible things and that is the best gift I could have ever asked for when I was 18 and not feeling like a normal teen at all. His knowledge and skills in treating concussions will forever impact my life as now I have many stories to share and many more adventures to come.

I had been suffering with pain in several areas of my body for many years and had come to the conclusion that I just needed to “live with it”. I had tried various treatment options with only minimal and temporary relief. It was then suggested to me by both an RMT and a chiropractor to explore osteopathic treatment. I did some research and called to book an appointment with a reputable osteopath in town, but was put on a long waiting list. This is when I was referred to Trevor by my chiropractor. I contacted Trevor and he immediately responded and was able to see me within the week.
After my first appointment, I was amazed with the improved mobility in both my neck and shoulders and have experienced a diminished frequency of headaches. With further appointments, Trevor was able to locate other areas in need of correction (rotated pelvis, compressed ribs, rotator cuffs, SI joint pain). With each treatment, I have noticed improvements with my pain level and the way that my body is moving. I am now able to sit cross-legged at yoga without pain in my hips, complete some Pilates exercises that were impossible before and experience less knee pain while walking/hiking. He was even able to correct some wrist pain that I was experiencing due to the nature of my job and is exploring how some visceral work can help to improve the natural motility of my abdominal organs.
I always joke with Trevor that he is “magical” because he is able to pinpoint with great accuracy areas in my body that are causing pain, but the real truth, is that Trevor is a naturally gifted osteopath. He has a very positive energy, is extremely knowledgeable and is always willing to answer questions and explain how the body works. I feel so fortunate to have found Trevor and would highly recommend his services to anyone who is experiencing pain anywhere in their body. I feel better than I have in years! I am exercising more, I feel stronger and because I am virtually pain-free, I’m very motivated to make positive changes to improve my overall health. Thank you, Trevor – I am forever grateful for all you have done!

I was hurt 35 years ago playing hockey and after years of serving, bartending and working trade shows, I thought that there was nothing more that could be done for me. Over the years I had tried doctors, physio, massage, acupuncture, chiropractic care, pain killers, yoga, exercise, stretching and even visited a naturopath. I was told my sacrum was actually stuck up over my L5 vertebrae and my left SI Joint was permanently seized. I was told by a friend that I should try an osteopath and so I did. I found Trevor on the web and after reading the other testimonials I decided to book an appointment. Trevor met me and listened to every piece of my history and let me know that sacroiliac pain relief is quite common in his line of business. After 70 minutes of treatment, Trevor finished and told me that he had got my back and hips completely back in alignment. He said I should heat the area and stretch and avoid lifting heavy things for few days, but that there was no need to come back for further treatment. I was very skeptical, but I followed his after care recommendations and 3 days later, I was pain free. My muscles were sore, but that passed quickly. I could sit, lie down, walk and even stand with no pain. I can honestly say that almost a month later I am still pain free. I can’t say that everyone’s results will be the same and I have suffered enough in the past to know that I am probably not completely cured, but Trevor let me know that I can come back any time for further treatment. What I liked best was that he DIDN’T tell me that I need to come twice a week for the next 6 months and it would cost me thousands of dollars. He just helped me. I’ve already referred 2 other friends and no offense intended at all, I hope I never have to see Trevor again! But if I do have any other pain, Trevor will be my first call. Thank you Trevor, you have no idea how glad I am I reached out.

Hey Trevor,
Welcome back! And congratulations on your marriage! I have actually been fully healed and in the best shape of my life since I saw you to help with my back. In fact I have been able to walk, work out, do yoga and even get back to running for the first time since I was a teenager. The result is I’ve lost over 70 lbs and completely changed my life. I literally can’t thank you enough.
Thank you for reaching out and for all you’ve done for me.

10/10 would recomend Trevor! I have been struggling with a reoccurring back injury for years and no one has ever been able to tell me what it really is. It’s been a frustrating guessing game with not a lot of movement in the right direction but after two sessions I have found significant relief and someone that I trust to go back to for advice or treatment if ever needed. Super happy to have found him and for my back to be doing well!

Before my cranial treatments with Trevor, I suffered with headaches and migraines for more than half my life, 22 years to be exact. They started in high school after I encountered my first concussion playing rugby. I played rugby for 10 years up into my mid twenties and during these years, I was hit in the head more times than I can count. Since then, over the past two decades, I tried every conceivable method in search of help and relief from pain. I was told time and time again by doctors and specialists that migraines are not curable, that I would have to learn to live with them and that medication management was my only option. This was crushing news for me to hear as a young woman in my late teens and early twenties.
This led me down a long road where I adopted both eastern and western medicine practices. I tried acupuncture, massage therapy, naturopathic medicine, self hypnosis, TENS machines, exercise therapy, stress management, bio feedback, essential oils, chiropractic adjustments as well as multiple visits to neurologists, chronic pain clinics, the Headache Clinic in Calgary, numerous ER visits for IV medications, outpatient IV ergotamine therapy, in-patient ergotamine therapy, preventative after preventative, including anti-seizure medications and anti-depressants, as well as narcotics including morphine and OxyContin.
To say that migraines have ruled my life and affected every way in which I live, is an understatement. There were long points in time where I was unable to get out of bed because the pain was so unbearable. I’ve been off work for long stretches at a time, unable to function and unable live life normally for the past twenty years.
Then I met Trevor.
Trevor was confident he could help and based on the success stories from others that I had seen on his website, I decided to book in for treatment. I took two weeks off work, left my children at home with my husband and flew to Victoria. Upon arriving, we began an intensive treatment plan which included treatments on a near daily basis for over the course of two weeks. Immediately after the first treatment, my pain reduced significantly and after 10 treatments in total, my migraines are now completely gone.
It seemed impossible that things were so much better in such a short time and yet, it’s true. Trevor has changed the course of my life and I’m hopeful for the first time in two decades that I will be able to live my life free of headaches and migraines. Trevor is intuitive in his treatment for migraines and post concussive syndrome. He has an extraordinary ability to work with the skull and to heal what others have deemed incurable. I hope that if someone is reading this and can identify with my life and pain in some way, that they will take a chance on Trevor, you won’t regret it.
Trevor, I didn’t want to go into it too deeply while I was saying goodbye but now sitting here on my return journey home, I feel overwhelmed with gratitude for all you have done for me. You took the time to fix me up and I don’t honestly know if I can thank you enough for all you’ve done. You’re an amazing doctor.

I was involved in a snowmobile accident 35 years ago, which resulted in a broken back. Since then, I have worked with physiotherapists, personal trainers, etc. to try to keep myself mobile. I had heard of osteopathy, but didn't really know much about it. Trevor approached me one day at the gym, and we set up an appt. From the very first treatment, he was able to re-position my pelvis, which had been out of alignment for 35 yrs. I was amazed, as I didn't think this would be possible after that many years. There is continued progress with every treatment. Trevor is very knowledgeable, professional and eager. He is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him to anybody that is considering osteopathy treatment.
