Outside of work, Adina enjoys to explore the outdoors, hiking the local mountains, snowboarding, rock climbing, running, and swimming outdoors in Buntzen Lake almost year-round. Adina’s artistic nature flourishes not only in her work as a physiotherapist but also as an artist, painting watercolours while travelling and acrylic at home.

Francis loves to help people. He loves to converse, learn, and educate. He loves fitness and is curious about the science of exercise and movement and how it heals. Physiotherapy is a natural career choice for Francis.

Francis provides an active and research-based approach to rehabilitation by promoting tailored exercises that fit your needs but with an understanding that using hands-on skills, like manual therapy, is a beneficial supplement. His active approach was developed by working alongside talented trainers early in his career, and providing care for elite athletes; from CFL players to EuroLeague Professional Basketball players.

Originally from Winnipeg MB and having moved here in 2021, you can find Francis exploring the city searching for new places to eat and new craft beers to drink. If not in the city, he’ll be exploring what nature has to offer: hiking, camping, swimming in the ocean, or snowboarding in the mountains. Whichever the setting, he loves to be surrounded by friends, and he enjoys meeting new people or whoever else will listen to his jokes.

Emily started her physiotherapy career in 2018 after graduating with a Masters of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Manitoba. After working in Winnipeg for a couple of years, she relocated to BC in 2020 to take advantage of the nature experiences the province has to offer.

Emily loves to be active, and continues to play volleyball multiple times a week. She also dabbles in hiking, snowboarding, golfing, and is happy to try any other sport that her friends like to play. She takes a functional and active approach to rehab to help her patients return to doing the things they love. She also likes to utilize manual therapy skills to help with pain management and range of motion to complement exercise rehab. Emily also has a special interest in working with concussion patients, and takes a holistic approach by assessing all systems that could be affected by a concussion to determine the best path to recovery.

When she’s not at work, Emily loves checking out local breweries, going on adventures with her dog Winnie, enjoying her friend’s company, and taking advantage of all of the beautiful scenery that BC has to offer.
