The FUEL Team
Saša (Sasha) Babović
Chiropractor
Hello! My name is Saša (Sasha) and my passion for biomechanics began as a coach for youth sports. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University and focused on applying my knowledge to help patients reach their strength and mobility goals while reducing risk of injury.
Having realized how important movement and mechanics are to overall function and health, I pursued and completed the Doctor of Chiropractic and Master of Science in Sports Medicine programs at the University of Western States. My goal is to educate patients throughout their treatment so that they feel confident and empowered, gaining control over their bodies and improving their day-to-day lives.
Every person is unique, and that is why I believe in approaching every treatment from multiple angles, collaborating with other professionals and working with the patient to develop an individualized treatment plan. If we want to provide care for others, I believe we must also take care of ourselves! During my downtime I recharge by watching sports, golfing, walking my dog, or enjoying some video games or sweating in the sauna.
Brandon Barr
MOT, RMT, PTS
Owner & Manual Osteopath
As a collegiate elite athlete, Brandon became intimately acquainted with the physical toll that strenuous training and repetitive stress can take on the body. This firsthand experience ignited his curiosity about the intricacies of the human body's response to physical exertion and recovery through manual therapies.
Brandon's journey led him into a comprehensive understanding of the body's functions and the requisites for sustaining optimal performance at a high level in sports. He pursued massage therapy at Grant MacEwan University and became a certified manual osteopath with the National Manual Osteopathic College of Canada. He is currently pursuing a Graduate Certificate in Pain Management from the University of Alberta.
By seamlessly integrating these modalities, Brandon refined his skills and developed unique techniques and protocols to address pain and restore optimal function to the body. The result has been a remarkable reduction in recovery time from injuries and a significant decrease in the severity and frequency of painful symptoms for his clients. With nearly two decades of experience, Brandon has been dedicated to empowering his patients, guiding them towards healthier daily lifestyles and fostering long-term well-being.
In his spare time, Brandon enjoys playing baseball, hockey and golf with his friends. You can often find him on long walks in the dog park and playing frisbee with his dog, Brees.
