Mohammed Nazari

B.Sc PT MCPA

Physical Therapist


I have been practicing Physiotherapy since 1990, I know I don't look that old :). For me... physiotherapy is a great passion. My main focus is on orthopedic and soft tissue injuries with a special interest in sports injuries.


I am a strong believer in active treatment and teaching people simple and doable exercises with minimal equipment. This way of practice teaches independence and therefore a better chance of permanent resolving of the injury. In my assessment I provide my expectations of the recovery and guidelines to follow.





Kiana Cowger

B.Sc PT MCPA

Physical Therapist


I have completed my Bachelor’s of Science in Kinesiology degree at the University of Victoria and continued my education at UBC where I graduated with a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy.

I have successfully completed my level one manual therapy exam with the Orthopaedic division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and have a keen interest in treating sports and musculoskeletal injuries as well as working with individuals affected by chronic pain and conditions.

I grew up in Fort St. John BC enjoying a wide array of sports, including soccer, volleyball and running track. I spend much of my free time training for long distance triathlon events.
 
I believe that you know your body best and it’s my aim to work with my patients to find solutions that fit their needs and lifestyle. My treatment approach is multi-faceted and is unique to each patient and their goals.



Vishal Kharod

M.Sc PT

Physical Therapist


I have completed my Masters Degree of Physiotherapy in India. I have over 16 years of experience.


I have special interest to practice in Musculoskeletal & neuro-muscular condition, especially post surgical/ post traumatic stiffness.


As a physio therapist I focus on more manual therapy such as myofascial release & soft tissue techniques. I firmly believe my success as a Physio is dependent on 3 factors: prevention of further damage, proper education and active participation of patient. Therefore I design all of my treatments in such a way that brings rapid recovery.
