GIFT Program

 

Kick Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine Inc. was founded on the knowledge and principles of Applied Functional Science. Gary Gray, an American physical therapist, has been teaching Applied Functional Science to therapists, athletes and fitness trainers for the past three decades. He is commonly known as the "Father of Function" or "First in Function". Applied Functional Science is based on the application of biomechanical and anatomical principles in the field of exercise and rehabilitation for sport or normal activity.

 

Carlo Di Nardo, from Kick Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine Inc., has been excited to join the group of health care practitioners pursuing their certification under the Gray Institute as a Fellow of Applied Functional Science. It is with great hope that Carlo seeks to bring Applied Functional Science to Toronto.
