Kayla was born to move, and as a registered physiotherapist loves to share this passion for movement with people of all ages. She has a special interest in caring for children and teens, fuelled by the great memories of her BC childhood spent riding bikes, playing sports and camping with her family.

Kayla studied Nutritional Sciences and Physiology at the University of Toronto, and later achieved a Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy at Queen’s University in 2016. Over the past 5 years, she has focussed on training in pediatrics in many different settings, and has made it a priority to practice in a client-centred and family-friendly way to help people of all abilities achieve their goals. No goal or dream is too small. But, don’t be fooled - she enjoys working with adults too. She believes that everyone has a kid inside them!

In terms of treatment, Kayla likes to use a combination of evidence-based and exercise or play-based physiotherapy as well as manual therapy or soft-tissue release when appropriate. Expect to have fun and work together to help you get back to doing the things you enjoy.

When Kayla is not in clinic, she might be found working in the Early Intervention Therapy program, instructing adaptive skiing, or getting into trouble on two-wheels.

After graduating from Vancouver Island University with a degree in Sport, Health & Physical Education, I applied to Chiropractic school in Toronto. I was accepted to the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2015.

There I learned what evidence-based practice was. Like three legs of a stool, evidence-based practice involves helping people using:

We were taught how to critically evaluate research and how to apply those findings to better help our patients.

I also learned was that physical activity is critical for the health of my knees - even running! People over the age of 50 with knee arthritis who run have less pain and less progression of the disease.

I learned that people living with osteoarthritis are less likely to be given lifestyle, exercise and weight loss advice compared to people who live with diabetes or cardiovascular disease. I learned that people living with persisting pain conditions are not receiving quality care. Like, some how, the health of our joints are ‘less important’.

Since my knee injury I’ve worked as a wildfire fighter, I’ve completed multi-day hikes in the Himalayas and finished an ultramarathon trail race.

I still deal with pain flare-ups and worrying thoughts about what my future might be like. I still have good days and bad days.

But, the education, experience and skills I’ve gained has allowed me to self-manage my knee pain with confidence. The things I’ve done since my injury have been some of the best experiences of my life. Had I listened to the advice I got from most of the healthcare providers I saw, I would not have had those opportunities to live a meaningful life with knee arthritis.

I’d like to empower you to do the same.

Logan has always enjoyed working with people to achieve their goals. This made a career in Physiotherapy a natural fit. His journey started at the University of Victoria in 2005 studying human movement and exercise (Kinesiology) and began in earnest when he graduated from the Masters of Physical Therapy program at the University of British Columbia.

In order to pay the bills along the way Logan worked as a Crew Supervisor for Canada’s only Wildland Fire Fighting Smokejumper program. While jumping out of planes and working in remote areas of the North American wilderness he suffered many bumps and bruises, which stoked his passion for physiotherapy.

In addition to his formal education Logan has spent time working with people from all walks of life including time at the Child Development Centre and as a trainer on a professional hockey team.

Logan loves working with all types of clients but has a particular interest in musculoskeletal injuries, return to sport, and spinal pain. Inspired by evidence based practice, Logan has taken several continuing education courses focusing on back pain, extremity treatment, chronic pain, and pain science. When not trying to further his education, he maintains a love for all things outdoors including mountain biking, surfing, snowboarding, running, swimming, building signs and front desks, and all things movement.
