Tyson Plesuk is a sports and manual physiotherapist who works with Olympic, NHL, and other professional and amateur athletes, as well as people of all ages and backgrounds from the general public.

He is certified in acupuncture with the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada, a Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) practitioner, certified in Spinal Manipulation. Tyson also has a Certificate in Sports Physiotherapy from Sport Physiotherapy Canada.

He is also a consultant to the Canadian Sport Institute and B2ten, and works with athletes from Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton, Hockey Canada, Alpine Canada, and Athletics Canada. In 2014, he was part of the Canadian medical team for the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
