Strength & Conditioning Applied to Rehab & Recovery
The Spark.
Growing up, I was the child who had more energy than I knew what to do with but eventually found my sanctuary through physical activity. Sports and exercise gave me the opportunity to build relationships, learn new skills, and create my own identity. Before I knew it, movement had become ingrained in almost every aspect of my life. As I entered my final year of middle school and began thinking towards the future, my parents thought it would be a good idea for me to shadow my sister, a physiotherapist. Everything changed that day.
The Journey.
I saw a beautiful combination of movement analysis, exercise prescription, and performance optimization – things I already loved. I knew from that moment that this would be the career for me, and I dedicated the next 10 years to chase after my dream. I became a personal trainer to help everyday individuals achieve personal fitness goals. I worked with elite athletes as a strength & conditioning coach to develop robust movement and enhance performance. I was extremely lucky to have learned from a variety of industry-leading mentors while I studied Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo and Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto.
The Mission.
I believe that the journey of helping someone achieve the strongest version of themselves both mentally and physically, is the greatest reward a clinician can strive for. With my passion for rehabilitation and movement optimization, I am dedicated to hearing your story and creating the perfect plan to help you achieve your goals. Through a combination of education, manual therapy, and exercise prescription, I will work alongside you every step of the way to achieve the active lifestyle you desire.

“I had developed some shoulder issues due to weight lifting. After some research I decided to give Rehab Hero a try. Every step in the process was seamless, and every aspect of care was professional and of a high standard. From the booking system, to the office/clinic facilities, to the first/subsequent consultations, all the way to the regular follow-ups/communication availability at anytime. A top notch group of professionals that know their stuff, and are passionate about helping you. I was being treated by Eldon Thieu. A very smart Physiotherapist who loves and takes pride in what he does, which is helping his patients. Following the prescribed plans couldn’t be easier, all the instructions are demonstrated/taught well, written out for you, and have accompanying videos/tutorials. I followed the plan religiously and I was able to solve all my shoulder issues well within the general time frame that Eldon predicted!”

“Rehab Hero = PRO'S AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL!
As a aging hockey guy with a rotator cuff injury I can honestly and truly say that in my opinion I don't think you'll find anybody better.
I believe in this day and age it is in your best interest to research info yourself, so it went a little outside the box, read the reviews made my decision.
This will be my first review I've ever done on anything, that is how strongly I feel about Eldon and the team at Rehab Hero. My quality of life goes up every time I visit, I have 100% faith that when things open back up my game in the rink or on the golf course will be elevated thanks to my MAIN MAN ELDON!”
