Summary

Kitsilano Physiotherapy Clinic provides a detailed one-on-one approach for every assessment and treatment conducted by the physiotherapist. With each session our therapists ensure that each treatment is individualized to the clients needs.

Clients are educated on activities, exercises and postural movements to ensure improvements that continue beyond their time at the clinic.
