The words of wisdom above, exemplify my approach to helping people move and feel better.
It is my job to help you understand yourself, to empower you, to help create an environment conducive to healing, and to teach you how to help yourself, all in an effort to help you no longer need my services.
I believe in a brain-based, systems approach, one that takes into account the nervous system and human experience, not just the area that hurts, and ask the question “why”. Often times, that mystery lies in your history.
At the end of the day, what I want my patients to know is this:
I am always striving to continue to educate myself, often in interesting, novel ways. Be that from courses, books, people around me, fellow practitioners, my patients, my dog, my wife and son, whatever. The more I know, the better I can help.
Iain is currently part of the Educational Team for RockTape Canada, is an Instructor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Applied Health at the University of Winnipeg, and is the Academic Coordinator at Wellington College of Remedial Massage Therapies. These pursuits involve helping other aspiring therapists and movement practitioners of all abilities and experience levels up their game, so they can be their best for their clients.

Since planning our move to Fifty5Fitness in April, we no longer have the space to accomodate any additional clinicians/movement pro’s. This is something we’re working on making our way back to in the future. If you’d like to add your name to the future list of people who’s like to work with us, send Iain an email at adhartaspt@icloud.com.
Adhartas is a Holistic, Movement-Based, Neurobiopsychosocial clinic. While Iain’s drive is to grow Adhartas collectively, the goal is to help prospective team members grow themselves, so that they may one day leave to carve their own paths.
Whomever joins the team has to be ok with operating on their own. This may include marketing themselves, community speaking, having a social media presence that includes education and networking, a strong drive for continued, open-minded learning, and having a presence in the community of Fifty5Fitness.
This opportunity is ideal for someone seeking autonomy to grow themselves and their brand under the Adhartas roof, as a side hustle to fuel passions outside another full time gig, or to branch out on their own full time and grow with assistance from Iain. It’s not an easy road, but it’s been a very fulfilling one him, and he’d love to help make it happen for someone else, too.
If this sounds like you, then Adhartas may be for you.
