He has continued his professional development through courses in manual therapy from the Orthopaedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. Dan has also taken additional courses concussion management, K-Taping, The McKenzie Method, and acupuncture. He is a certified Sport First Responder and is currently working towards obtaining his Sports Physiotherapy Certificate. He has provided on-field coverage for a variety of sporting events including the Canadian Sledge Hockey championships, the Ontario Winter Games, the Muskoka Half Ironman, and is currently the trainer with the Elmira Sugar Kings Jr. B hockey club.
