Profile:
Chris Streib is the Co-owner, President and Director of Rehabilitation at Talbot Trail Physiotherapy, with six private-clinic locations throughout Southwestern Ontario. Following graduation from East Elgin High School, Chris attended McMaster University from 1993 – 1999 to receive his Bachelor of Kinesiology degree (‘93-‘97) and then his Bachelor of Health Science degree in Physiotherapy (‘97-‘99). While attending McMaster, Chris played varsity volleyball for 5 years and was team captain for 2 years. After university life, Chris opened the first Talbot Trail Physiotherapy clinic in Aylmer in 2002, expanding four years later to open the Wellington Street clinic in St. Thomas and then a 22,000 sq.ft. physiotherapy and musculoskeletal clinic at the St.Thomas Elgin General Hospital in 2008. In 2010, a clinic in Woodstock was added, followed by West Lorne and Blenheim in 2011. With a mission to make Talbot Trail Physiotherapy, Elgin County’s source for quality physiotherapy and musculoskeletal services, Chris entered into a collaborative agreement with the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital in the spring of 2008 to reopen the 22,000 sq. ft. rehabilitation centre. The new location would become a Centre of Excellence, utilizing the most progressive treatment options and state-of-the-art equipment, including an indoor saltwater heated hydrotherapy pool to ensure the best possible patient recovery. In developing the Centre, Chris was instrumental in recruiting the first Rheumatologist to Elgin County, as well as an Orthopaedic surgeon to join his highly skilled staff in providing a multi-disciplinary, hands-on approach to rehabilitation for a variety of conditions including sports injuries, motor vehicle accident injuries, work related injuries and post-operative related disorders. Chris’ dedication for continuing education and learning followed him as he went on to complete 12 additional advanced programs related to Physiotherapy and executive training. This ongoing education included certification from the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute and advanced spinal therapy education from Curtin University in Perth, Australia. Since 2002, under Chris’ leadership, Talbot Trail Physiotherapy has grown to become the largest clinic in southwestern Ontario featuring a complete rehabilitation care team. This dedicated team of heath care professionals includes a team of dedicated health care professionals: Orthopaedic Surgeons, a Rheumatologist, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Certified Hand Therapist, Kinesiologists, Massage Therapists and Orthotics Consultant, utilizing the most progressive coordinated treatment programs to ensure the best possible recovery in the shortest amount of time.
