Stay Active with Knee Pain

No, just book your appointment above to get started!

In addition to physical therapy, I do intramuscular stimulation (IMS) needling, craniosacral therapy, visceral release, neuro-meningeal release, electro-acupuncture, mid-spine adjustments, myofascial release, Mackenzie technique, Mulligan’s Mobilization with movement, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching, therapeutic ultrasound, neuromuscular retraining, functional exercises, yoga, dynamic neuromuscular stabilization, pain science education, and vestibular therapy for vertigo.

If you’re unsure, you can schedule a 15 minute consultation to find out! I have taken countless specialized courses, so after diagnosing the root cause of your problem, I can treat almost any structure from muscles to nerves to dura. And if I can't treat it, I will refer you to someone who can.

Physiotherapy services are included in many insurance plans, though you’ll need to check and see how many sessions are covered under your plan and the cost cap per session. Your sessions can be billed directly to your insurance company, so you won’t have to pay upfront.

If you’ve been in a car accident, you are entitled to 25 free physiotherapy sessions within 3 months of the accident, even if you are at fault! Just send me your claim number. If it has been longer than 3 months, I can still get free sessions for you by doing an assessment and sending the report in to ICBC. For worksafe claims at my clinic, patients are required to pay up front and then send the receipt into WCB for reimbursement.

Your health is your most important investment. If you believe that physio can help you or your doctor has recommended it, I strongly encourage you to book a session and get assessed! Problems left untreated can and will worsen over time, and may spread to other areas of your body. Investing a few hundred dollars in your health today can save you from spending thousands in a few years’ time (and feeling a lot of pain!).

Absolutely! I offer comprehensive testing that will help you know objectively when you’re ready to get back to working or playing, with the confidence that you won't reinjure yourself.

Yes, there is parking. You can park in spot #20 in the underground lot. Look for a sign saying 4102. Unfortunately, there is no elevator — you must be able to manage 14 stairs.

No, try to arrive close to your appointment time. If you are a bit early, you can wait in the car and text me. If I can see you earlier, I definitely will.

Yes, I offer in-home visits to clients who are unable to travel to my clinic!

I’m happy to write detailed notes to your doctors and other members of your health care team, so that everyone is on the same page and able to offer you their best service.

Absolutely! I don’t agree with the old fashioned paternalistic way of practicing — I’m not God! It’s your body and you get to decide what you want done to it. If I think a different treatment will work better, I will suggest that and explain why but the decision is up to you. Research has shown that when a patient believes in a treatment, they get better results than from doing a treatment that technically works better but that they don’t believe in. Let’s harness the power of the mind!

You have the right to decide what happens to your body! I will never pressure you into doing something that I can tell you don’t want to do. I’ve had patients who were told by their doctor their arthritis will never get better unless they go swimming even though they are afraid of the water. I said forget that noise and got them better by doing biking and exercises on land. I’ve had patients who were pressured into IMS needling even though they had a panic attack every time it was done. They came to me for manual therapy and myofascial release and achieved great results without sweating in fear.

Absolutely! Although physio can’t cure it, I can help relieve your pain, show you how to relieve your pain at home, increase your range of motion, help you prevent spinal fractures and teach you how to pace yourself in order to get back to doing all of your favorite activities.

No! People who start physiotherapy right away progress so quickly that they are able to shock their surgeons at their follow-up appointment. I am trained to know what you can do and can’t do after a surgery, but make sure you get your surgeon to write down any precautions (movements to be avoided) and the length of time they are to be avoided before you leave the hospital, and then give that to me. I have a therapeutic ultrasound machine which can clear swelling, other techniques to relieve pain and targeted exercises that will help you keep your range of motion and strength while you heal.

Absolutely not! Most people don’t know that not being able to roll over and get up out of bed without a bed rail or get up off the toilet is usually just due to a lack of strength. I’ve helped seniors from 75-95 years old get back to doing all of those things and staying happy and independent at home!
