Bergen is a physiotherapist who specializes in the treatment of sport injuries, work injuries, and motor vehicle accidents.
He says, “The best advice I was ever given is to open my ears and close my mouth. Because 10-minutes of good listening can usually help solve a patient’s pain more than any stretch, pill, or magic cure ever will. When we understand the problem the answer is usually close at hand.”
Bergen is passionate about athletics and works regularly with athletes at the junior, provincial, and national levels. In 2017, he was recognized by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association for his work in developing a role for ring-side physiotherapists treating combat sports injuries in professional MMA, and boxing.
He is a recreational lifter and also teaches Brazilian Jiujitsu. He studied at the University of Saskatchewan and likes to hunt and fish.
