In 2010 he graduated with distinction from the Prosthetics and Orthotics program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. He was awarded the Dave Kenyon Research Award for the top research project as selected by Dr. Dave Kenyon. As an undergrad Matt studied in Winnipeg and earned a bachelor's degree in Physical Education from the University of Manitoba in 2008.
As a prosthetist Matt really enjoys getting to know his patients and developing a personalized care plan for everyone. The plan is evolved through a thorough assessment upon which prosthetic design is discussed with every patient which includes suspension method, liner choice, socket design, foot and knee selection and cosmetic design. Patient input and follow up are crucial in his development of care.
He is very well versed in the latest prosthetic technology and is constantly re-evaluating his practice and furthering his education to ensure he is delivering the best possible care.
Outside of work what Matt enjoys doing most is spending time with his wife and two kids. He's passionate about exploring the outdoors through fishing, hiking, running and cycling.
Fitness and nutrition are very important to Matt. He finds inspiration from his patients to push himself further. Seeing people reach their full potential is a huge motivator!
Matt practices at both Anderson Orthopedics locations. Winnipeg and runs the Brandon prosthetic clinic.
