Keerthanan is a registered physiotherapist - you can call him Keeth!
Keeth’s journey into Physiotherapy was inspired by his love of sports and physical activity all throughout his life. He grew up playing, and continues to play, all kinds of sports, with his favourite being basketball.
Keeth obtained Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Health Studies at York University in 2017. For a few years after this, he worked as a fitness trainer and physiotherapy assistant, utilizing his experience and knowledge to improve the physical health of everyone from young athletes to seniors. During that time, he realized he has a profound interest in injury rehabilitation. This was only confirmed as he dealt with injuries himself through basketball and appreciated the importance of being able to exercise regularly while dealing with pain from various injuries. This made him want to continue his studies, this time on the other side of the world, where he completed his Master of Physiotherapy at the University of Sydney in Australia.
Keeth enjoys working with those of all abilities, with a specific interest in injuries related to physical activity and sports. He believes that there is an inner athlete in every single person, regardless of age and condition, and it his duty is to help you optimize your performance and function. Keeth’s goal is to create a culture which bridges the gap between maintaining a healthy lifestyle while healing various injuries/pain throughout the body.
His hobbies include exploring the world, trying all sorts of food, and continuing to push his body to its peak physical level through exercise and sport. Keeth is committed to becoming the best physiotherapist he can be so that he can continue to create a positive impact on everyone he treats. He is very excited to join the Be Strong team and serve our community!
