✨ Meet Matthew Pennell, our new Kinesiologist! ✨

We’re excited to welcome Matthew to the Citadel Physiotherapy team!

Matthew graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in 2026 with a Bachelor of Science in Human Kinetics, majoring in Kinesiology with a minor in Health Sciences.

During his time at StFX, Matthew spent five years as a member of the X-Men varsity basketball program and served as team captain for two seasons. His experience as a student-athlete, along with his background in coaching and mentoring young athletes, gave him a strong appreciation for how movement and exercise can help people achieve their goals.

As a Kinesiologist, Matthew enjoys helping clients build strength, improve mobility, and feel more confident in their physical abilities. He values an individualized approach to exercise and rehabilitation and enjoys working with people of all ages and abilities to help them return to the activities that are meaningful to them.

Outside of the clinic, Matthew enjoys strength training, playing basketball, watching sports, and spending time with friends and family. He remains involved in basketball through both playing and coaching and is always looking for new ways to challenge himself physically.
