our physio goals

Providing our clients with individualized one-on-one sports physio assessments and treatments to get you back in the game safer, ready to take on life's challenges and unexpected surprises.

Sports injury rehabilitation helps you return to your specific sport stronger and ready to face the unexpected. From acute injury management to return-to-sport stage, being empowered with knowledge of your injury, how your body heals, strategies to help your body adapt to be stronger and more resilient to the physical demands of expected and unexpected forces of your specific sport is vital to safe injury-free return.

Our therapists help you understand your body, it’s current tolerance, and how to improve its tolerance for injury prevention and return to sport. Our therapists return you to sport and life with our knowledge of how our body fails, healing timelines, specific exercises for progressive loading, using technology (ie. shockwave, electrical modalities, dry needling, etc.) and techniques (manual therapy) to facilitate your body’s healing processes, and managing your body’s response to increased loading, are all processes we use to safely return you to living life active.

Physiotherapy is about empowering you with a better understanding of your body. We are ‘human body whisperers’ - interpreting your body’s responses to loading and formulating a plan with an understanding of the potential risks and benefits. Empowering our clients with knowledge means a better understanding of how your body works. This understanding translates into immediate changes in action and decision making regarding your body.

More immediate the change, the quicker you can help your body take full advantage of its healing processes and return to pain-free living. Therefore, the effects of Physiotherapy can be within the first week of treatment. Full return to function or sport can vary, generally 2 weeks to 6 months, depending on the severity of the injury. Keep active and play!

Testimonials

I've seen Siobhan (physiotherapist) for 6 months, she's excellent! The different injuries I've had in my knee and hip have improved notoriously with the treatment. She's very clear in explaining what is happening with your body (for me education is important so you can manage your injuries properly), giving you a variety of exercises to do at home and answering all your possible questions. I feel very well-cared for and I'm super grateful for such a positive impact on my health. I'd recommend her 100%!

- Laura
Used to see Michael for a running injury - he was fantastic and worked with me diligently to get to the root cause of the problem opposed to quick fixes I've experienced at other physio clinics. Will be visiting the VanSports physiotherapist team again this week for a separate concern. Communication is always fantastic with incredibly quick response times for all inquiries. All team members are friendly, seem down to earth, genuinely interested in helping you and create a relaxed yet professional environment. Side note, the location is great being downtown Vancouver.

- Claire
Mariana was so knowledgeable and caring. I felt so taken care of from start to finish as she was thoughtful in her physiotherapy treatment recommendations. Lee at reception was also super friendly and made my experience enjoyable!

- Stephanie
Mariana is an excellent and professional physiotherapist. The physio clinic is very well located in Vancouver , modern and equipped. Best experience I could have asked for.

What an amazing experience! From reception to the RMT Collin, they were so kind, professional and respectful during the entire session. Collin is a great listener who takes the time to thoroughly explain what you're dealing with and meets you where you're at during all stages. If I ever have another problem, I am coming back here - 100/10 recommend!

Allen was very easy to talk to. He listened carefully to my my current physical concerns. Allen was able to assess the stage I was at and set up a criteria for my first steps to recovery. I left very much empowered and confident in the plan he set up for me. Looking forward to my next session.

From the reception to to clinical team my experience was welcoming from the start. Kim’s clinical experience was evident throughout her assessment. She used a very hands on approach to understand my specific issues. I left their office with the right amount of homework and the satisfaction that I’d gone to the right place to make the gains I am looking for.

Great staff! I was in a car accident and didn’t know where to start. I knew I needed help with a concussion. The receptionist was very informative and helpful. Both Alen and Collin helped me understand more of what was happening and gave me solid advice and exercises to help advance my healing. Looking forward to seeing them in the future.

Fabio is fantastic! A true professional and very thorough and knowledgeable. He was able to alleviate my pain and worked on my problem areas and gave me a thorough assessment. I was actually very surprised and happy at the amount of time he spent on me. This osteo modality is definitely helpful for people that are looking for pain relief and increased functionality.

I have seen a huge improvement in my pain levels since visiting Van Sports Physio every week. I usually see Alen for therapy on my foot after having cryosurgery for neuromas. I find Alen and all the staff to be very friendly, supportive and professional. Booking is easy, they have good availability and offer direct billing to insurance (Chambers plan accepted). I will continue to choose Van Sports Physio for my physiotherapy needs.

Overall great experience with Van Sports & Physiotherapy. Staff is friendly & kind. My therapist Alen Birac is amazing, he is a healer! He is professional, knowledgeable, a great listener & diagnosed my issues promptly. His treatment was very effective, I highly recommend Alan!!

Kim is an amazing physiotherapist. She is extremely knowledgeable and works very hard to support injury recovery while also recognizing life style and impact of recovery on activity. I have been seeing her for years and will continue to see her for years to come!

Bernard Loh

Kim is the best!! She is very knowledgeable, thorough and very friendly. She analyzes my problems very well and has always recommended very effective remedies. I am a fairly active older adult and as one can expect, I have my fair share of injuries over the years, which Kim has always managed to fix. I would certainly recommend Kim to anyone who need a physiotherapist without any hesitation.

Inkeri Meharg

19:15 19 Jan 24

The best Physio! Kim is practical, thorough, and meets me where I’m at. Acupuncture after a good hands-on treatment really integrates the benefits. I’m doing my 10 minutes of “homework” daily.

Excellent high-quality physiotherapy. Everybody is different. Every injury has a different. Every person seeking help is at different level of understanding and ability. Compared to the usual physiotherapy I have received over the years where they treat everyone with the same injury exactly the same with the same techniques where someone spends 5 minutes checking on my damaged body, then hooks me up to same electronic machine for 30 minutes before telling me I'm done, see you next time. On a set schedule, using the same set of tools. Alen works on my damaged body hands-on, getting to see and feel what is going on. What is healing on time, and what needs more attention. He spends the entire 30 minutes working with me and on me. He is with me giving pointers, taking my feedback, and adjusting my session exactly to what i need to heal the best I can. I can not say enough good things about the treatment Iave received. I'm a 58 year old overweight cyclist who has recently had a full right knee replacement and needed rehab to recover. I have recovered from many terrible injuries over my lifetime, and I have trained with top coaches, physiotherapists, massage therapists, and nutritionists as a professional cyclist. Getting the proper attention and treatment is the key to the best recovery.

Home Run Movers

03:26 03 Jan 24

As a 46yr old owner and active member of the Home Run Movers team (and outdoor enthusiast), it’s crucial that I keep on top of my fitness and conditioning. I recently experienced what I feared was a slipped disc, that kinda scared me. So, I made an appt based on my partners positive reference. I was feeling better before hand, but I’m glad that kept the appointment. Alen listened closely, ran me through a list of physical tests and identified a different, albeit important issue that had caused the problem on my right side causing sciatic pain and instability. He educated me on the cause and equipped me with a series of simple exercises that I will be doing to strengthen that area and bring it back into balance. Thanks Alen, I appreciate you.

Melany

I’ve been to the clinic for physio and massage and have been extremely happy with each service. I’ve seen 3 different providers and all 3 are very informative, kind and helpful. I truly appreciate their efforts in providing the best and most affordable services. All staff are welcoming and very friendly. I am seeing Kim for an ongoing knee injury and although it’s only been one visit I feel confident we will reach our goal.

After a car accident I have been seeing Kim at Van Sports and Physiotherapy. She is the best physiotherapist I have ever been to and I would highly recommend her for her extensive physiotherapy skills, knowledge and experience!! It is a pleasure to receive treatment at Van Sports and Physiotherapy!

Jason F

14:36 18 Oct 23

Alen Birac is an amazing physiotherapist! I came in with a couple of issues that have been bothering me for several years. After a quick exam, he was able to pinpoint both issues (one with a muscle, and the other with a nerve) and provide helpful guidance on the road to recovery. Very friendly and competent service!

Yvonne is awesome! Despite being pregnant (I was her last patient before mat leave), she put in effort to treat my shoulder pain.

Renia Lai

23:24 23 Jun 23

Kim is amazing and well knowledgeable! Only been to a couple of sessions for my shoulder and knees, not only she can identify my root causes/issues but fixed them right after the 1st session (plus listening to her advice and following though ;) ) Miracle or magic, whatever it is!

Marcelo L. Garcia

05:47 09 Jun 23

Mariana and Fabio are amazing! Great professionals. Experienced and good communicators. They really care for the well-being of patients and will not shy away from providing a diagnostic or recommendation that is not in their financial interest. Very ethical approach to the practice of physiotherapy/osteopathy. Will recommend to anyone seeking personalized care.

Dean Jesuvant

02:09 08 Jun 23

I have visited Van Sports & Physio twice now for an Achilles tendon issue. All of the staff have been incredibly helpful. Yvonne who is treating me has been great. She took time to understand the problem and takes time to get to know you personally as well. I would recommend if you need physio.

I was experiencing debilitating pain and after one session/assessment with Yvonne, I had more clarity, she took a gentle approach, and I am healed! She’s a magician! Plus the mango candies in the office they give out are delicious! Nice receptionist too.

Gustavo Costa

05:24 04 Apr 23

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and comfortable. Fabio Bocchetti was extremely professional and knowledgeable, and took the time to listen to my concerns before beginning the session. During the session, he used a variety of techniques to help alleviate my pain and discomfort. I was pleasantly surprised at how effective the treatment was - I could feel an immediate difference in my body. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality care. The facility was clean and modern, the staff was friendly and professional, and the treatment was top-notch. I can't thank them enough for the amazing experience!"

Fabio is simply wonderful. Not only is he a lovely person but he is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable and a true healer. I am so grateful to have found him. :)

Lisa Stewart

21:16 02 Dec 22

Mariana was a miracle worker for me! I went in with acute shoulder/back pain. She discovered it was actually a rib that was out of alignment that was the source of the pain. I felt immediate relief following her treatment and couldn't be more thankful.

Sumeet

22:45 04 Nov 22

Yvonne and Collin are great and I can’t recommend them enough for anyone recovering from injuries hoping to return to full functionality and return to sports. They were able to work together to help develop a recovery plan for my shoulder knee and ankle in conjunction after an accident. They were very patient and supportive while pushing me to challenge myself during each session to help recover. They struck a great balance between managing pain while increasing strength. For anyone recovering from injuries or just doing a check up i would recommend they visit Yvonne and Collin

Kim did a bike fitting for me and she was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented and made changes to my bike on the spot to help me out. It feels more comfortable already. She also provided me with active exercises to help address the underlying weakness that was part of the problem. 5 stars!

I loved Mariana professionalism. She really took care of me and I felt in good hands. I had a lot of informations and could understand clearly what happened to my hips, what to do next and what to look for. I highly recommend. ?

Yogesh Rajan Singh

21:01 23 Jun 22

Yvonne was really impressive! Have had shoulder pain for years and have met many physios over those years! Not easy to spot the exact pain-point but Yvonne spent considerable amount of time and using techniques to zero-in on the zone of pain and whether it was a muscle, tendon, ligament. Well, after the treatment, there was definitely a lot of relief. Highly recommended!

Mark Koning

17:14 13 Jun 22

Came in with some light wrist pain from tennis. The Physio was very through in assessing and also offering very helpful stretches and movements to prevent any further injury. Lovely office, everyone is always smiling.

Heather Driver

00:56 09 Jun 22

This clinic is amazing! The staff really take the time to identify the source of your pain and injury. In addition to using the most up-to-date treatments the staff also develop very customized exercises to assist with recovery. Thanx Van Sports and Physiotherapy!!

Darren Louie

I'm quite careful about where I go and who I see as I've been dealing with chronic injuries to both my shoulders and hands for several years now. I was fortunately to come across Van Sports and Physiotherapy and made a few appointments with Michael to do Shockwave. I'm pleased to say that after several treatments, I've regained significant function to both my hands and shoulders, and my pain is almost all gone. I highly recommend this clinic and can only say thank you Michael for his care and professionalism.

Constanza leal diaz

Manyara Rinomhota

14:35 17 Dec 21

Van Sports never disappoints. Both my daughter and I have been looked after here by Yvonne and Michael for a few years. Their professionalism and the ease of booking and changing appointments are also among the reasons we continue to go there. Their use of varied techniques to get you back to the fullest mobility and healing make them the best for physio…in my humble opinion!

Donna Hull

21:24 26 Nov 21

This was my first time visiting the clinic. Kim was very thorough and I felt listened to, as well as hope for improvement with a tricky "stuck" shoulder. Kim is personable and explains what she is doing and why, as well as sent me off with a plan for healing.

Maureen Campbell

19:16 16 Nov 21

Mariana is very knowledgeable and I am very happy with her recovery plan she has come up with for me. I highly recommend her. The direct billing is so convenient and I truly appreciate Van Sports offering this service!

Working on torn muscles and helping with stretching exercises - It's never painless, but its always amazing - Yvonne more or less saved my messed up shoulder and keeps you honest with your personal actions. Ya Gotta Stretch and do the work.

Felipe Antunes

14:36 14 Sep 21

I did the initial assessment with Mariana and she is just outstanding. She is very knowledgeable and her assessment was thorough to make sure she could find the root cause for the pain and discomfort. The treatment suggested should address that in the long run and some easy and quick exercises to do at home should help as well.

Steve Kipp

01:56 10 Sep 21

I have been coming to Van Sports and Physio Therapy for two years now and all I have to say is I have never had better treatment ever! They’re a very caring group who have your health as their best interest!

Friendly, easy o talk to, and have seen great improvements on my injury. Looking forward to future sessions and recover soon!

Woke up with a stiff neck and decided to try this clinic out as its centrally located. Booked an appointment with Mariana and it turned out to be amazing! Within a few minutes she was able to diagnose the problem and reduce the pain with some massage and shockwave therapy. Also, seamless experience at the reception as they directly billed my insurance provider. 10/10 would recommend

Michelle V

17:09 09 Oct 20

KIM MCARTHUR YAE is a registered Physio at this office and I was recommended to her by my amazing friend Shelby so I knew I’d be in good hands! Kim is brilliant and really knows how to help you achieve your goals, whether you are an athlete and trying to get stronger or fix muscles that you are overworking (I originally went to her for my knees during training for Tough Mudder) or if you were in an accident and need help healing from injuries (this is what she is helping me with now). She is multi talented and offers so many different kinds of treatment! I can’t support her enough or encourage everyone to go see her if you care about your fitness and body!! She’s also very funny and relatable and has a great energy about her! Thanks so much Kim for everything!

Darryl Halse

00:16 30 May 20

I've been working with a frustrating shoulder injury for 2+ years and finally feel like I'm making meaningful progress to recovery now that I'm working with Siobhan at Van Sports & Physio. I've been really impressed by the combination of knowledge and willingness to explain what we're doing and how each step is getting us closer to the ultimate goal. I like to know -why- we're doing what we're doing, not just what to do. I've had questions / challenges in between sessions that always get answered promptly over email. They've also been proactive with Covid-19 precautions providing gloves and masks when needed. Looking forward to continuing my rehab and ultimately getting back to 100%. Highly recommend if you're looking for a physio that will guide you through the entire recovery / rehab process.

Linda Ann Farruggia

00:07 21 Feb 20

Yvonne Law is an awesome physiotherapist, highly recommended. She takes her time going through exercises, will include manual massage techniques, EMS and ultrasound if needed. Very helpful for different concerns.

I've been working with Siobhan for over a year now on a meniscus injury in my right knee. She has been phenomenal with supporting me and giving me exercises and stretches that really help to strengthen and alleviate the knee pain. I see her once a month for maintenance (because I'm terrible at not doing her prescribed exercises every day) and then once a week whenever my knee pain feels worse. If I followed her instructions more rigorously, I'm sure I wouldn't have to keep seeing her for physio. The rest of the staff here are also very friendly and always remember my name!

Dong Lam

17:53 07 Jun 19

I've had a sprain ankle problem for over 4 years now from playing competitive soccer and sports. Recently injured it again a month back and thought I try out Physiotherapy for the first time. I'm grateful I got to meet Siobhan and she has been amazing, actually first week I was able to go back to training at the gym, but very lightly. Absolutely recommend them to anyone, I've actually recommended them already to two of my friends.

Cameron Meade

23:09 02 Feb 19

I had a deep tissue muscle injury. Yvonne the physiotherapist is great. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her to anyone.My experience working with her has been extremely positive. I am almost back to a 100% and without her great skills I'm pretty sure I would have not recovered in such a timely manner.Thank you Yvonne!!!

Aviral Garg

I am seeing Yvonne Law for an ICBC knee injury. She is awesome and feels like an old friend. If you forget an outfit or just don't want to bring anything they have clothes you can wear. The people at the desk are also really friendly every time. The location is right by the Granville skytrain which makes it convenient. I had some trouble finding the office in the building the first time. It's on the 5th floor of the building, and if you go outside of regular business hours you have to call for them to come get you in the lobby.

It's been several months that I am seeing Yvonne Law because of a knee injury and she is great! She is extremely knowledgeable and the exercises are well adapted to my needs. Yvonne is ready to answer any questions and explain everything in details so I understand why I am doing a given exercise, on what muscle is the impact and how it will help my knee to get better. I definitely recommend Yvonne Law and Van Sports and Physiotherapy!

Yvonne is very knowledgeable and competent. I went for a shoulder injury that has been bothering for quiet some time. I recovered faster than I expected, and got back to the gym. Staff is very as well.

Finding a right physiotherapist has been a very challenging task for me until I met Kim after reading reviews; I want to thank everyone who left reviews on Kim! I have been getting treatments from Kim since my running injury in July and treatments from Kim have been highly beneficial to my recovery to say the least. Kim is extremely knowledgeable and shares her knowledge in a way that makes sense to me. Kim will tell you what you need to hear to recover and avoid injury in future with genuine understanding, concern, and respect in her voice. I am aware physiotherapist as Kim is hard to find. I am so glad to have found her as I plan to continue to pursue my passion for running and will be needing help throughout. I also want to mention that everyone at Van Sports& Physiotherapy has been so friendly and welcoming. I so appreciate Karen’s warmth, patience, and help with everything. Thank you,

Kim is an incredible physiotherapist! I have now gone to her with three injuries and her methods have been so incredibly effective and efficient. She understands that people can't necessarily take time off work to heal, so she gives easy to do exercises for at home, work or even when you're out and about. Kim's communication is very clear and direct and she made it very easy to understand what was happening with my injuries and how the exercises were going to heal them. She is super easy going and funny, which helps so much because I always feel like there is no hope for recovery when I show up to see her. Her positivity, support and humour makes me believe that I can heal my body and feel like a human again! As long as I live in Vancouver, I will never go to anyone else!

Kim is a no nonsense, very technical physiotherapist. She's been helping me maintain good health while I compete at a high level in adventure racing, cycling, and triathlon. She's helped me overcome stubborn IT band issues, neck and back problems, and has given me an exercise regime that has helped improved muscle imbalances, core stability, and strength. I highly recommend Kim - she's helped me tremendously!!

Kim is top notch. Her diagnosis skills and pragmatic treatment plan have worked wonders for a long-standing running injury. Moreover, she is super personable and seems to genuinely care about my recovery. Definitely the best physiotherapist I have ever been to. Highly recommended.

If you need a physiotherapist, Kim is the best. I was dealing with neck and upper back pain for a year before I found Kim. I tried what felt like everything and since seeing Kim, I'm pain free, stronger and more aware of my posture while I'm working. I work in theatre which can mean at times my job is highly physical and at other times sitting for hours at a computer writing. I have recommended others to Kim and they have been just as happy as me. She helps you understand why your body is reacting the way it is and implements ways to fix and prevent it happening again. I can not recommend her enough.
