Certified Athletic Therapists are best known for their quick-thinking on-field emergency care of professional and elite athletes. The first to respond when someone gets hurt, they are experts at injury assessment and rehabilitation. It’s that same mix of on-site care and active rehabilitation skills that makes Athletic Therapists so effective in treating the musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, and joints) injuries of all Canadians, whether on the field or in the clinic.

Athletic therapists adhere to the Sports Medicine Model of care. They treat a wide range of patients, from kids with concussions to seniors recovering from hip replacement surgery, using various manual therapies, modalities, exercise prescription and even bracing and taping. The treatment varies but the objective doesn’t: an Athletic Therapist's goal is to help clients return to their usual activities, whether that means playing competitive sports or walking to the mailbox and back.

Physiotherapy

Seek the expert advice of a Physiotherapist to treat your musculoskeletal or orthopaedic concern. Our Physiotherapy team uses a wide variety of treatment techniques including manual therapy, dry needling/IMS, exercise, movement training, education, and lifestyle interventions.

TCM and Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a complementary medical practice that entails stimulating certain points on the body, most often with a needle penetrating the skin, to alleviate pain or to help treat various health conditions.

Mat Pilates is an extremely effective discipline of exercise that rebuilds the body from its center spinal column, out to the periphery. All Pilates movements are initiated from the central core of the body.

Pilates is recognised as a key component of any rehabilitative program; its emphasis on the internal stabilizer muscles, enabling the body to move efficiently and thus preventing injury. As a preventative system of movement, Pilates focuses on core strength and proper alignment. Pilates exercises help to build bone density, increase joint mobility, improve muscle tone and overall strength and flexibility of the body.

Pilates will dramatically change the way you feel, perform and live!

Benefits of Mat Pilates:
-Increases strength, flexibility and core stability
-Corrects structural imbalances to improve posture
-Builds long, lean muscle that elongates the body
-Decompresses the spine and restores spinal health and vitality
-Increases joint mobility and range of motion
-Builds a uniformly developed body which moves with fluid ease and grace
-Teaches neuro-muscular patterning and body awareness
-Improves coordination, balance and proprioceptive vision

Pilates benefits everyone; men and women of all fitness levels and all ages.

Aaron’s commitment to health and sport began during his undergraduate degree, particularly when he started personal training. Not satisfied with his ability to rehabilitate injuries, he entered the Physical Therapy program at UBC in 2014.

He has additional training in Acupuncture/Dry Needling (CAFCI), Concussion Management and Bike Fitting (Retul).

Aaron grew up playing all sports and cemented his love for mountain bikes at the age of 14. Aaron currently races in the pro/elite field and is part of a multi-sponsored team with Transition Bikes. When not on a bike, you can find him trailing running, ski touring, mountaineering or in the gym.

Aaron spent 3 seasons travelling on the UCI World Cup downhill and enduro cycling circuit as a team Physiotherapist.

Chris Kennedy MPT, BScKin, CSCS

Chris completed his Masters of Physical Therapy at UBC after a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of New Brunswick. He has several years of experience working as a personal trainer and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. This passion for helping his clients achieve greater health and reach their goals was the driving force that led Chris to pursue a career in physiotherapy. His knowledge and experience allow him to provide progressive and complete rehabilitation to his clients. Chris enjoys working with a wide range of individuals but has a few areas of particular interest which include shoulder, knee, and hip pain, running related injuries, healthy aging, and injury risk reduction. He has also undergone advanced training in lower back and shoulder conditions. His practice is guided by current research, clinical experiences, and patient preference. He views exercise prescription and education as essential components of all treatment plans. Chris believes that people experiencing pain and decreased function should not just be rehabilitated back to their baseline but that their journey should continue to progress to greater health and performance.

Since moving to BC from Nova Scotia in 2006, Chris has been captivated by the wide range of outdoor activities that the West Coast has to offer. In his spare time he can often be found hiking, trail running, mountain biking, or skiing in the local mountains.
