A demonstration will be given by Dr. Dave Kim, DC who is a chiropractor and acupuncture provider at Port Hope Sports and Rehabilitation Centre. Dr. Kim has a keen clinical interest in improving human movement and uses a combination of manual therapy, corrective exercise, and patient education to create sustainable solutions for musculoskeletal complaints.
