We met Jacqueline McAllister to chat with her about physiotherapy practice, living in BC, and pelvic floor health. I grew up an hour and a half northwest of Calgary. I describe it as classic Canadiana: forestry, ranching, the mountains. We weren’t ranchers, but we grew up on acreage. My parents were teachers and they were…
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction means different things for different people. For Sabrina it meant incontinence. She couldn’t run, couldn’t go for walks, couldn’t bounce on the trampoline with her kids. It limited her freedom. We have complicated bodies and they change throughout our lives. Sometimes these changes impact the way we live. Sometimes a change is…
Research shows if you feel less steady on your feet, you might stay at home. Unfortunately, social avoidance and social isolation can also be deadly. COVID hasn’t helped. These past two years have been difficult for all of us but especially for seniors in our community. Due to social isolation and lack of activity many…
We spoke online with Maciek Krolikowski to talk about the difference between kinesiology and physiotherapy, connecting with patients, and the move from the prairies to the west coast. It was good! It’s a big bustling city. The sports science part of the University of Calgary is top-notch, and it was great working there. The Sport…
We met Thomas Zhou over the internet to chat with him about growing up playing hockey, moving to Victoria, and connecting with others through Zoom workouts. It was a great place to grow up. I feel like I grew up in a sort of classic 90s neighbourhood; I have fond childhood and high school memories….
This fall we’ve launched a balance and falls prevention class. This is the brainchild of Thomas Zhou who has run classes like this in his practice on the mainland. But it’s also the result of us hearing from so many of the seniors in our community and aging patients who tell us they want to…

We love having our clinic in Oak Bay, and want to share some of our favourite spots to work out, eat, drink, and shop. It’s one of our favourite communities to hang out in the Victoria area. Everything is within walking distance, and you’re surrounded by the ocean. One of the nicest bike rides you…
We met up with Dr. Kim McQueen to talk about athletic performance, nutrition, the University of Victoria, and taking tennis lessons. What’s your favourite way to keep active? I run a lot, usually I do Elk lake and Beaver lake on Monday mornings. I do a tennis lesson once or twice a week. I love…
We met for a morning Zoom chat with Andrew Mills to learn about travelling as a physiotherapist, surfing with toddlers, and why the vestibular system is so important. Do you have a favourite Victoria restaurant? Where’s your favourite takeout spot? I’m really into 5th Street Bar & Grill right now, they do a mean chicken…
