Joseph Rector, MScPT, CSEP-CEP
Physiotherapist

Joseph is a registered physiotherapist and a clinical exercise physiologist. He received his Master’s in physiotherapy from the University of Limerick, Ireland, and graduated with honours distinction. Although he pursued education in Ireland, Joseph was born and raised in Victoria. He completed his undergraduate degree in Exercise and Wellness (aka Kinesiology) from Camosun College, and graduated as class Valedictorian. 

Joseph’s philosophy for treatment comes down to patient empowerment, and believes a healthy balance of education, active recovery and manual therapy is the most effective approach. During his schooling, Joseph learned from renowned low back pain specialist and researcher Dr. Kieran O’sullivan, who teaches how to manage chronic pain from a holistic perspective. 

Joseph also has a keen interest in the management of osteoarthritis (OA), and has co-authored research relating to exercise and hip/knee OA. Joseph is a strong proponent for evidence-informed practice, and is excited to continuously expand his knowledge and skill base. 

Outside of the clinic, Joseph’s interests include all things active. He enjoys hiking, strength training, and plays a variety of sports including basketball, spikeball, golf, and squash. Besides his active hobbies, Joseph also has a passion for cooking and has formal culinary training. While he no longer cooks professionally, he thoroughly enjoys being a home cook!
