Jim started his journey to becoming a physiotherapist while attending Simon Fraser University getting his Bachelors of Kinesiology. His main areas of focus were on the physiology and biomechanics of the human body while also pursuing knowledge in nutrition.

Prior to starting his masters degree in physiotherapy Jim worked for several years as an exercise therapist, athletic therapist, and ergonomist. His work as an ergonomist took him all over North America and provides him with a unique set of skills to identify and solve issues with workplace stressors including optimal office/computer station design. While Jim worked with multiple sports programs, his main focus was working with the SFU Men’s soccer team.

After completing his Physiotherapy degree at the University of Alberta he aggressively pursued post-graduate courses in physiotherapy. Highlights of this include his completion of the Advanced Certification in Manual Therapy and Intra Muscular Stimulation (IMS). This allows him to quickly assess and accurately treat even the most complex injuries with great outcomes.

Jim’s style of treatment involves first discovering the primary driver or reason why the injury occurred and any other additional factors. Sometimes this involves treating areas that are away from the area of concern. He has found this method the most successful at avoiding repeat injuries and recovering quickly.

Methods of treatment: movement retraining exercise therapy instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization IMS manipulations “cracking” mobilizations ergonomic assessment

Particular areas of interest are: sports played on grass with cleats (soccer, football, baseball, and rugby) pitchers for baseball dancers concussions*

*Oftentimes, for a concussion to occur, significant neck trauma needs to take place. Spraining ligaments in the upper cervical spine and straining muscles in the shoulder/neck can impact one’s ability to function on multiple levels. The main mechanism is as follows: the brain processes information from the ocular (eye), vestibular (inner ear), and proprioceptive (ligaments and tendons) inputs in the body. If any one of those inputs sends information that is different from the others it can cause nausea, dizziness, malaise, fog, poor eye tracking and other typical symptoms of post-concussion syndrome. An example of this is when you come off of a merry-go-round. Your ocular and proprioceptive inputs suggest you are stationary while your vestibular system suggests you are in motion and rotating. This is why working on the neck component in conjunction with the brain injury can successfully restore one’s life.

My Approach

I provide both relaxation-focused and therapeutic massage, with the treatment style adapted to your goals and presentation.

Relaxation treatments begin with a brief assessment so I can understand what you are looking for and make sure treatment is appropriate. These sessions generally involve comfortable draping, moderate use of oil, and a flowing combination of Swedish massage, myofascial techniques, and rocking/shaking. They are a good fit for general maintenance, stress, sleep support, non-specific tension or discomfort, or simply taking some time to slow down and relax.

Therapeutic treatments begin with a more thorough assessment, often including active movement and range-of-motion testing. This allows me to develop a targeted treatment plan based on your symptoms, movement, and functional goals. You will generally remain dressed for these treatments, so athletic clothing that allows access to the area of concern is recommended. Treatment typically uses little or no lotion and may include myofascial and neuromuscular techniques, joint mobilizations, and active release.

My therapeutic approach is particularly suited to specific pain or movement complaints—for example, shoulder pain when reaching overhead, low-back pain with prolonged sitting, or knee pain on stairs—as well as goals such as returning to work or sport, improving movement, or gradually increasing training load. Depending on your presentation, we may be able to address multiple related concerns within a single appointment.

I earned my Diploma in Massage Therapy from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy (VCMT), graduating with honors. Before becoming an RMT, I worked in the office furniture industry, giving me a strong foundation in ergonomics and practical experience helping people modify workspaces, household routines, and everyday movement habits.

I also have an extensive background in high-performance athletics, including basketball, rowing, and ultimate frisbee at the college and/or national level. This experience, along with my own history of managing injuries, informs my understanding of the physical demands of sport, work, and everyday life.

When I recommend homecare, I aim for strategies that are practical enough to fit into your actual life. My goal is for you to leave treatment with a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to your symptoms and what you can do between appointments to support your progress.

Stefan completed his Bachelor of Human Kinetics at UBC (2003) and his Masters in Physiotherapy at the University of Queensland, Australia (2008). He holds the FCAMPT designation — the Fellowship of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy — the highest level of manual therapy certification in Canada.

His clinical experience includes working as a volunteer physiotherapist at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games at Canada Hockey Place, serving in the Cirque du Soleil Performance Medicine Department in Montreal, and providing varsity athletic rehabilitation at UBC and Capilano University for hockey, soccer, volleyball, and basketball programs.

Stefan’s treatment philosophy centres on four pillars: comprehensive assessment, patient education, hands-on treatment, and personalized home exercise programs. He believes our bodies — like our personalities — are highly individualized, and that effective treatment must reflect that.

He is a Titleist Performance Institute Certified Professional and Pilates Certified, and has particular expertise in shoulders, knees, neck, low back, headaches, sciatica, and post-concussive syndrome.

Outside the clinic, Stefan is an avid cyclist, snowboarder, and 40-year hockey player who runs community concussion education seminars.

With a background in Kinesiology from the UBC, Cheryl completed her Masters in Science of Physiotherapy at Queen’s University. Since graduation, she pursued further education to become certified in Acupuncture and is currently in the process of completing her Diploma of Advance Orthopaedic and Manipulative Physiotherapy Level 3.

Cheryl’s passion for physical activity and sport began at a young age as a competitive volleyball player, leading her to become interested in sport sciences and injury rehabilitation. However, it was a unique experience as a physiotherapy student at the Center of Rehabilitation of the Paralysed in Bangladesh where she fully realized the positive effect of injury rehabilitation on patient quality of life. In a country where limited access to physiotherapy, the lack of awareness and poor perceptions of disability led to many cases of injury to remain untreated, many preventable cases of chronic pain often result in life changing and lifelong disability. As such, Cheryl’s strongest motivation for continuing practice in physiotherapy is to empower patients from all walks of life to participate in their own rehabilitation journey through education about their own injury, manual therapy, acupuncture and therapeutic exercise, ultimately allowing them to return to leading life in ways that are most meaningful and functional to them.

Her areas of interest are:

Shoulder injuries

Neck and lower back pain

Volleyball and racquet sport players
