    Instructor: Patrick Quimio

    Patrick completed his Master of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto in 2019, following a Bachelor of Kinesiology with Distinction from the University of Manitoba in 2017. He recently earned his Master of Clinical Science in Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy from Western University (2025), which awarded him the FCAMPT designation. Clinically, he works at Strive Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine in Toronto with a focus on head, neck, and jaw conditions, including temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Patrick has pursued extensive postgraduate training in manual therapy, spinal manipulation, dry needling, acupuncture, and advanced courses through the Orthopaedic Division.

    Alongside clinical work, Patrick is active in physiotherapy education across Canada. He is currently a Teaching Assistant for the first-year musculoskeletal (MSK) units in the MScPT program at the University of Toronto. He has also supervised multiple clinical placements for the University of Manitoba and UBC and held a clinical faculty appointment with the UBC Department of Physical Therapy at the rank of Clinical Instructor. He now serves as an instructor and examiner with PT Exam Prep, helping students strengthen both their knowledge base and confidence in exam preparation

    One approach Patrick integrates into both his teaching and clinical practice is self-reflection. At the end of an interaction, day, or week, he asks questions such as: “What are three things I did well today?” and “What are three things I can improve upon?” This structured reflection, paired with guidance and feedback, helps learners build strong habits and a solid foundation for success on their licensing exams.
