Chiropractor, kinesiologist and experienced personal trainer Dr. Adam Martynuik has dedicated his career to treating the spectrum from professional athlete to working professional for spine and related muscle conditions.
Career and experience
With a special interest in sports and exercise related back pain and injuries Dr. Martynuik has treated professional hockey players, professional snowboarders & skiers, professional bikers, professional golfers, personal trainers and fitness instructors, endurance athletes, and fitness competitors while operating his practice within Collingwood since 2009.
In addition, he has over a decade of experience as a Kinesiologist, NSCA Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, physiotherapy assistant and personal trainer using his experience & education in exercise science to design effective rehabilitation programs following injury.
In 2020 Dr. Martynuik relocated and re-branded his practice as Muscle & Spine with the intention of creating a practice that would combine the best of medical, chiropractic, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture and exercise rehabilitation to address common spine and related muscle conditions. He is also focused on training and mentoring young practitioners to become successful and caring clinicians.
After nearly 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Martynuik’s practice follows the philosophy that treatment is most successful when patients are engaged and motivated to reach personal goals rather than just reacting to pain with passive care.

Peter Taylor has been running ultras for the past ten years. He races in many of the ouser series in Ontario and is inspired by running in beautiful places like Frontenac, and Killarney provincial park.
A racing highlight was placing second at the sinister 7. A challenging 148 km in crowsnest pass Alberta. Peter likes to involve his two year old daughter in his training by doing hill repeats pushing her up and down the valleys where he lives.
Running also is perfect cross training for being a full time artist, painting the many landscapes that he spends time in.
Hi! I'm Nick Brindisi, and I built MyActiveLifetime.com. Growing up and living in Beautiful Collingwood, Ontario, Canada gave me a perfect setting to live an active life from an early Age. With ski hills, the huge Georgian Bay off Lake Huron, forest trails, and a wide variety of sports facilities, Collingwood is ideal for healthy active lifestyles. I have had the honour to raise two young men, Matthew and Thomas who also have adopted athletic, healthy lifestyles.
I currently live in Woodstock Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley. We are surrounded by Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and Allegheny Mountains to the west. The Shenandoah river takes 7 bends running through town and we are surrounded by a network of great running trails from the Appalachian to Massunutten and Tuscarora trails.
My wife Mercedes is a physician and formerly epidemiologist for the state of Virginia and currently executive director of the Sinclair Health Clinic in Winchester Virginia. She is an avid runner. I have 2 wonderful step-daughters aged 19 and 12, the eldest in university and the younger in middle school and a competitive gymnast.
Having volunteered as a coach for many years in a variety of sports, I now make coaching and helping others my life long vocation. If I can help one person improve one aspect of their life then I'm fulfilled.
My goal in creating My Active Lifetime is to bring together the collective knowledge of other people who inspire me to write about a variety of things related to healthy living. Physical, mental, spiritual and nutritional health are all key areas that we all need to improve upon. The contributors I have selected are subject matter experts in areas such as life coaching, psychotherapy, nutrition, physical conditioning, various sports and more! I'm thrilled to bring it all together to share here on myactivelifetime.com.
