What people love about MSPAR’s Performance Academy

"Dan's helped me get back to training following a serious back injury. After I was discharged from physiotherapy, I didn't feel ready to get back in the gym. Dan's been designing programs to improve my fitness and capacity, and it's helped me stay pain-free, even as I increase the intensity of my workouts. Definitely a great experience!" ~ Cole A

"Luke has been seeing Dan for over one year now. He worked with him to improve strength and he also has worked with him on abdominal rehabilitation and now, back rehabilitation. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable about the human body, takes a vested interest in your child, explains programs, injury and treatment plans, then MSPAR is your best choice. Dan's commitment to getting the athlete back at their game is inspiring!" ~ Cindy H

"Dan is the best! Amazing attention, treatments and follow-up. I'm trying to stay fairly active for a middle-aged guy and MSPAR is helping me stay that way." ~ Sean P
