Olivia graduated from the University of British Columbia (UBC) with a Master of Physical Therapy in 2024. Prior to this, she completed her Bachelor of Kinesiology at UBC, where she was also a member of the UBC artistic (synchronized) swimming team.Olivia’s desire to become a physiotherapist was inspired by personal experiences as a competitive athlete, coach, and kinesiologist. Throughout her fifteen-year athletic career in artistic swimming, she competed nationally on club teams and Team BC, and represented Canada internationally on the Canadian National Artistic Swimming Team. While competing in a sport that demands strength, flexibility, and coordination, Olivia faced her own injuries and experienced first-hand the significant impact that physiotherapists can have on recovery, function, and quality of life. Motivated by the compassionate and individualized care she received, Olivia decided to kickstart her career as a physiotherapist by pursuing Diane Lee’s mentorship program where she is completing training in the Integrated Systems Model. She has also completed COMT Level 1 (Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist) and Pelvic Health Level 1, and has begun training in Clinical Pilates.Outside of work, Olivia enjoys trail running, skiing (both downhill and nordic), cycling, yoga, and swimming. She is committed to providing empathetic and tailored care, helping her clients improve function and achieve their goals with confidence.

The Integrated Systems Model
This model allows clinicians to be more effective and efficient with their assessment and treatment in order to help patients develop better movement strategies and habits to help reduce symptoms and improve function and performance.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a term that applies to any technique that involves the therapist’s hands and is often used to restore mobility to a joint, muscle or nerve as well as to relax, or activate, muscles. Many different manual techniques are used, often in combination, to help your body begin to move more efficiently.
Movement Training and Exercise Instruction
Recent research has changed the way therapists use exercises for both rehabilitation as well as strength and conditioning. For all areas of the body, the evidence supports correcting problems associated with how you use your muscles in a coordinated manner.
Prenatal and Postpartum Screening
There are many myths around pregnancy. Physiotherapists who specialize in pre/post natal care can help debunk these myths, playing an important role in the management of physical changes that can occur both during and after these nine months.
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Pelvic health physiotherapy is an umbrella term for physiotherapy that addresses aspects of anatomy and physiology related to or contained in the pelvis. This includes pelvic floor physiotherapy (the pelvic floor is the area between your legs, including your genitals, muscles, connective tissue and pelvic organs), which is an area of physiotherapy requiring specialized training.
Virtual Care
Telerehabilitation is a subdiscipline of telehealth and involves any rehabilitation delivered using telehealth technologies such as videoconferencing, sensors, chat / text, educational portals and more. The most recognizable form of telerehabilitation is the reproduction of the one on one physiotherapy via videoconferencing, most commonly known now as “Virutal Care”.
Rehab & Surgery
You’ve had your surgery and your mind tells you it’s time to return to your old routines, and maybe some new ones. But your body says, “Not so fast.” The truth is, before you can get back to these activities, you’ll likely need some rehab to regain your mobility and strength.

Our physiotherapists will complete a full assessment both pre and post-op and develop an individual treatment plan to help expedite your recovery and reduce any secondary problems related to the surgery.
