The human body and mind is such a fascinating thing - its unique resilience and ability to rebound after insult is incredible, he can’t seem to read or discover enough about it.

This speaks to Riley’s diverse background - from managing orthopedic sports injuries in the clinic and volunteering with community sporting organizations such as high school football, wrestling, or providing medical coverage for Canadian Junior Football, to working in an ICU assisting patients in recovering from critical illness, or working the rehabilitation unit with patients who have had stroke or other neurological diseases.

Working at Collegiate Sports Medicine gives him the opportunity to provide services and live his experiences with his clients in the clinic.

Riley was born in Regina and attended school in nearby Lumsden. Growing up, he played a ton of high-level sports such as competitive soccer, football, and golf. He obtained a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with Honours in 2015 and a Master of Physical Therapy degree in 2018, both at the University of Saskatchewan.

Riley has a keen interest in treating dizziness and concussions. He completed both Bernard Tonks’ Introductory and Advanced Vestibular Rehab courses, Complete Concussion Management, and Kim Barthel’s Seeing and Moving course.

Outside the clinic, he enjoys the fresh air of the mountains, being at the gym, spending time with his wife and children, and reading. He still stays active today with recreational slo-pitch, disc golf and soccer. Riley really tests his athleticism by training the Olympic lifts and enduring CrossFit.
