This EP features Gary Cummings. Gary is an Athletic Therapist and Osteopath who has been in practice for more than 50 years.

A graduate of Guelph University he took his first job as the Head Therapist of the football program at Sir George Williams University in Montreal in 1972. The school merged with Loyola College in 1975 to become Concordia University and Gary remained on to serve as the Head Therapist there until 1977 when he became the Head Therapist with the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL.

While at Concordia he taught at the school implementing Athletic Therapy courses in the biophysical education program which would later become the Exercise Science department.

In 1981 he helped a former student mentee. Dave Campbell gets a role with the new professional soccer team in Montreal, the Manic. In 1982, Dave and Gary began treating out of the Olympic stadium, and in 1983 they opened one of the first private sports medicine clinics owned by Athletic Therapists in Canada, GDC Sports Rehabilitation Centre in Pointe-Claire.

Gary left the Alouettes in 1984 and took a role again for one year as the Head Therapist of Football at Concordia University. This is where our paths crossed, Gary was my first mentor in Athletic Therapy many moons ago.

GDC grew under the ownership of Dave and Gary and eventually morphed into the Concordia group of clinics in Montreal with numerous facilities in the Montreal region. During this time, Gary became an Osteopath and focused on private practice.

Gary has been a member of Canadian International Sports Medicine teams including the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, he served as the President of the CATA, and he is a member of the CTSQ Hall of Fame and the Concordia Athletics Department Hall of Fame as a builder.

Above all of his accomplishments, he and his wife Marylin parented their daughter Jessica. This is a fantastic conversation with my first mentor and it means a lot to me, I hope you enjoy it.
