As an Olympian (Tokyo 2020 – trampoline gymnastics) and a lifelong athlete, Samantha strongly believes in promoting health and activity for everyone from professional athletes to people who are just starting their fitness journey.

She is certified in Dry Needling and has taken continuing professional development to specialize in treating both artistic athletes and runners. She is a certified running specialist through The Running Clinic. She has also competed the Advanced Integrative Manual Therapy course level 2 Upper Body.
Samantha has experience working with everyone from Team Canada athletes to house-bound seniors. She has worked as a Community Physiotherapist with Vancouver Coastal Health, and has extensive training in joint replacement care, fall prevention, and balance training.
She is a dedicated athlete who enjoys any adventurous activity that takes her outside such as skiing, mountain biking and paddling.

We are very excited to announce that we are now offering Acupuncture services with Sydney Evans, R.Ac.

Sydney has always been a sports enthusiast who enjoys all things outdoors such as soccer, snowboarding, baseball, and hiking. Her passion for an active lifestyle has led her down a path of learning and discovering how the human body works physically and mentally, especially when related to injury or pain.

As an acupuncturist, Sydney loves that she gets to work one on one with each individual to develop a treatment plan that is designed specifically for them. She is continually learning and finding ways to expand her training to further assist people on their health journeys.

Sydney is excited to be working alongside our team - focusing on providing the best possible care for each individual.

Acupuncture is covered under most extended health benefit plans as well as recognized and used for WCB and ICBC claims.

We are delighted to have Jane Byers doing a reading at the clinic on May 11 at 7pm from her new work that is actually about "work". 30 years of being an ergonomist has left her with a few stories to tell, which is what she’s doing in her forthcoming book called, "Work To Live" (Caitlin Press, 2024).

Nelson folks will get to have a sneak peak of some of the essays and poems in the book. Consider it professional development as we all deal with injured workers.
