Kregg has been a registered physical therapist since 1995. Over the years, his caseload has evolved from exclusively orthopedic care to a blend of orthopedic and vestibular rehabilitation. With this background, he has established a strong reputation in concussion management, having treated athletes in the NFL, CFL, collegiate ranks, WHL, high school athletics, and the dedicated weekend warrior.
In 1998, he completed his first course in vestibular rehabilitation. In 2008, he fulfilled all requirements of the Vestibular Rehabilitation: A Competency-Based Course at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Since then, he has pursued extensive continuing education throughout North America in orthopedics, traumatic brain injury, and vestibular therapy. In 2025, he earned the designation of Advanced Vestibular Physical Therapist (AVPT) through the University of Pittsburgh.
Given his commitment to ongoing education and evidence-based practice, Kregg has been invited to teach weekend courses and present at conferences throughout North America and Europe. He looks forward to sharing what he has learned over the years to help other clinicians achieve better outcomes in less time.
In 2010, Kregg founded North 49 Physical Therapy and the North 49 Balance & Dizziness Centre in his hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. What began as a single-clinician practice has grown to a team of six physical therapists, with more than half of the clinic’s caseload consisting of patients with dizziness and balance disorders. The clinic collaborates closely with a trusted network of consultants, including specialists in otolaryngology, neurology, neuro-ophthalmology, audiology, occupational therapy, psychology, and neuropsychology.
Too many people live with dizziness unnecessarily, and Kregg’s goal is to help change that.
