About Us

Inspired by the spirit of outdoor activities & adventure

Clinic founder and physiotherapist, Justin Whittle, moved to Western Newfoundland and Labrador more than a decade ago. It was a move sparked by a passion for alpine skiing and has since evolved to Nordic skiing, road cycling, mountain biking and now opening Zwitchback Physiotherapy & Health.

More than a name, Zwitchback symbolizes the parallel between the journey of physically preparing to conquer a new goal, healing post-injury & the switchback turns required when traveling through steep terrain.

Reviews

What Our Patients Say

Since having my bike fit with Justin, I am coming back from rides feeling much fresher than in the past. Comprehensive exercise plan and great conversations! I have, and will, continue to recommend Justin to anyone looking for a bike fit.

Brad Wade

I was delighted to work with Justin to fit my latest Specialized. He used his expert physio knowledge to do a thorough assessment, then took the time to explain the logic behind proposed adjustments to the bike. He really listened to me – and made the whole process fun and educational!
