Our Team

AJ qualified as a Medical Orthotist and Prosthetist from the Pretoria Technikon (now the University of Tswane), South Africa, in 1998 and as a Canadian Certified Orthotist in 2015. Through a series of globe trotting adventures, he ended up working as an Orthotist in Regina, Saskatchewan at the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre from 2001 until 2007.

Marty is a Canadian Board Certified Prosthetist and joined V2innovations after working in Kingston for almost 20 years. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo and his Clinical Prosthetic training at Northwestern University in Chicago.

Filip holds an Honours Bachelor Degree in Kinesiology from McMaster University and received his Clinical Methods in Orthotics and Prosthetics post-grad Diploma from George Brown College. He is a member of Orthotics Prosthetics Canada (OPC) and the Ontario Association of Prosthetics and Orthotics (OAPO).

Kirsten joined V2Innovations as a part-time summer student in 2018 with no knowledge of Prosthetics and Orthotics. Upon realizing that she enjoyed this field of work, she continued with V2Innovations as a summer student, until she completed her BSc in Biology from Concordia University in May 2021. Since then, she has worked with us full-time as an Orthotics and Prosthetics Assistant helping with the manufacturing of our assistive devices and assisting the office staff when needed. Kirsten's goal is to challenge the Prosthetics and Orthotics clinical entry exam at George Brown College so she can become a clinician in this field of work.

Gillian first connected with V2innovations in 2020 when she completed a university placement with us to learn more about the world of orthotics and prosthetics. Since then, she has graduated from Queen’s Kinesiology program, registered with the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario, and is now a practicing Registered Kinesiologist. She has been working in the Therapy Clinic since June of 2021. Gillian is currently also a Master’s student at Queen’s University, researching the use of powered robotic exoskeletons for gait rehabilitation and energy optimization. She loves working with clients to improve their strength and mobility, and to gain confidence with new orthotic and prosthetic devices!

Steyn finished his qualification as a Medical Orthotist Prosthetist in 1996 at the Pretoria Technikon, now Tshwane University of Technology, South-Africa. With more than 25 years of experience, holding several positions as Senior Orthotist and being director/owner of a large O&P practice in South-Africa, Steyn has joined the team at V2Innovations in 2021. Being the Technical manager at V2Innovations, gives him the opportunity to expand his career, and pursue his certification as an Orthotist in Canada. Steyn has a heart and passion for the well-being of his patients, on all levels.
