Austin developed a passion for working with the human body during his time at the University of Waterloo, where he completed his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a pre-health professions option. While figuring out how to transfer this health knowledge and build a career that could impact peoples’ lives, he discovered the life-changing field of Osteopathy, graduating with a Diploma in Osteopathic Manual Practice from the National Academy of Osteopathy in 2018. Since then, he has devoted his time to furthering his knowledge in the field, taking continuing education courses and focusing on cases of chronic pain to ensure the best patient care possible.

He has also witnessed the benefits of holistic rehabilitation while working at the Movement Disorders Research and Rehabilitation Centre in Waterloo, Ontario, where individuals with Parkinson’s disease were taken through a series of exercises and therapy to improve quality of life.
