Hello, I'm Mitch

A physiotherapist who gets desk work.

I built Desk Jockey Physio after spending years watching the same injuries repeat in Toronto office workers. Neck pain, shoulder tension, wrist problems. All rooted in how people sit and move through an 8-hour workday.

I treat the cause, not just the complaint. Whether you're coming in for physio or your company is bringing me in for a seminar, the goal is the same: real solutions that actually last.

Real results. Real people.

Mitch has conducted a Virtual Home Office Ergonomics seminar for two different companies I've worked for — both were fantastic. The info was practical and easy to put into practice immediately, and he effectively answered the team's questions.

Mitch is a fantastic physiotherapist whose passion for sharing his knowledge is unrivaled. After trying everything else, he relieved the neural pain shooting down my arm. His genuine concern for your well-being puts him above other providers. I wholeheartedly recommend Mitch.

It takes a special team to motivate someone through recovery at 7:30AM on weekdays, and Mitch was incredible to work with. Knowledgeable, took the time to explain my recovery path, and made the process fun. I'm back to running and couldn't be more grateful.
