Greg Redman knows what it takes to succeed in sports. He runs Wave Physiotherapy where he has made it his business to help diagnose accurately and get athletes back on the winning track. Greg recently partnered with Physiology expert Adrian King to present a training camp in Kelowna for Sochi Olympic hopefuls in Freestyle skiing. He has also helped to train NHL players, PGA golfers, and various Olympic teams such as Canoe/Kayak, Speed skating, and Track and Field. Greg has passed on his love for sport and fitness to his family, with his two sons competing in mountain bike races at the ages of just 4 and 7. Today Greg and Wave Physiotherapy are In Focus.
