Physiotherapist, Certified Yoga Instructor BScPT, FCAMPT, FDN

Christine has been with Treloar since 1994. A Queen’s University graduate, she moved to BC in 1990 and initially practiced in the hospital setting before making the move to private practice. In 1998 she successfully completed the requirements for the Advanced Diploma of Manual and Manipulative Therapy (FCAMT). She is now extensively involved in teaching and mentoring upcoming candidates for this certificate.

Christine believes that physiotherapy is a partnership between client and therapist and enjoys her role as facilitator and educator. She has a particular interest in pelvic joints, hip and lower limb problems and, as a dedicated runner she enjoys tackling the biomechanical problems that can interfere with successful training. Her passion for yoga has led her to certify as a yoga instructor and she uses this expertise to help interested clients explore the most beneficial approach to their own asana practice, and learn how to safely modify in order to accommodate existing injuries. In addition to her exercise and hands-on manual therapy skills Christine is excited to have recently added FDN Functional Dry Needling to her toolkit. She is enjoying integrating this powerful technique into the treatment of select clients with myofascial and persistent pain issues.

Outside the office: In her free time you’ll find her running in the neighborhood, rollerblading the seawall, biking the Lower Mainland, reading at the beach, zigzagging across the golf course, or maybe, off on her latest travel adventure.

I graduated from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Kinesiology. My desire to continue learning and interest in active rehabilitation led me to pursue my Master of Kinesiology at UBC. During my undergraduate studies, I spent time with many varsity teams as a part of their medical support staff, gaining extensive knowledge in athletic taping, sports injury management and rehabilitation. I was quite active growing up, so I’ve had my fair share of injuries. As a former athlete who struggled to understand them fully, I’ve learned about the importance of exercise prescription to promote healthy recovery and to improve my overall well-being. I want to help others restore functional strength and movement, so they can achieve the quality of life they desire. The multidisciplinary aspect of Treloar means there is always something new to learn from my colleagues. I love the support that comes from working in such a friendly and welcoming environment! Being healthy and active are two important values in my life that I strive for every day. I want to teach others the benefits of exercising so that they can gain from it as much as I do. The idea that an individual can help others through the gift of knowledge has led me to my passion for promoting exercise as a lifestyle. In my free time, I love being active outdoors, whether relaxing at the beach or hiking and skiing in the mountains.

I attended UBC Okanagan (UBCO). I am trained in exercise prescription. I grew up playing competitive tennis and represented UBCO’s tennis club playing across Western Canada. Prior to joining Treloar, I worked as a Personal Trainer and I was also the head coach for the Special Olympics Powerlifting and Club Fit program.

I live and breathe health and fitness. I want to educate and reach more people in understanding the importance of prescribed clinical exercise and the ways it can facilitate those with pain. I want people to choose exercise as not just something to do when they are in pain, but something to do to prevent pain and become part of their routine lifestyle.

I am passionate about pushing myself physically! For example: doing a 5 rep max back squat 2 times my body weight, winning a 3 hour tennis match from being down match point, training for a half iron man race (cancelled 2 months before race date due to covid), and running 10km sub 50 minutes. I was not born with the greatest athletic gifts, I was never the strongest, fastest or had the best cardio; but with a written plan, discipline and relentless mentality, you can do almost anything you set your mind to.

I love working with people to achieve their functional goals.

I was drawn to Treloar’s network of experienced clinicians and their strong mentorship program. The variety of services offered at Treloar, such as Pilates, concussion rehabilitation, and running assessments is amazing as it allows for collaboration between professionals with different skill sets to help clients achieve their goals.

I am passionate about providing inclusive and trauma informed care to people with pelvic health conditions education, exercise, and manual therapy.

I completed by physiotherapy degree in my hometown at University College Dublin, Ireland. I started my physiotherapy career in Ireland and then decided to make the move to Canada in 2020. I have worked in a wide array of public and private settings in both Ireland and Canada, treating clients of varying ages and injuries. I have further certification in IMS dry needling, concussion and vestibular rehabilitation and clinical Pilates.

I have always had a keen interest in sport which naturally led to me having my own fair share of injuries over the years, so I can empathize with the frustration that can go along with not being able to do what you love. I am passionate about meeting the rehabilitation needs of every individual that I work with and helping people get back to doing the activities they enjoy.

BScHK, MPT, GCOMPT, FCAMPT, IMS

I grew up in Bolton Ontario and moved to Vancouver in 2019 seeking to be closer to the mountains and ocean. I graduated from the University of Guelph with a Bachelors in Human Kinetics and a minor in Neuroscience and went on to complete my Masters in Physical Therapy at Queen’s University. Since my masters, I have completed the Advanced Diploma of Manual and Manipulative Therapy portion in my Graduate Certificate in Orthopaedic Manipulative Physiotherapy (GCOMPT) program at UBC and became a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapy (FCAMPT) in 2021. Furthermore, I completed the research portion of the GCOMPT program developing a systematic review examining the effects of intrinsic foot strengthening on running related injuries in long-distance runners.  I have also completed my Dry Needling training achieving the Anatomical Neuropathic Intramuscular Stimulation (AN-IMS 1) certification.

I have always wanted to work in an environment with experienced clinicians who are dedicated in elevating their practice, encouraging ongoing education, and providing mentorship and support; Treloar is exactly that. At Treloar, there is a great emphasis on manual therapy and active rehabilitation, which fits in how I approach my practice. The team is also very welcoming and supportive, making it a wonderful place to work.

I received both my Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Integrated Sciences (neuroscience and physiology with a minor in kinesiology) as well as my Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) from the University of British Columbia (UBC) Vancouver.

I have a special interest in pelvic health/pelvic floor physiotherapy treatment, clinical pilates, and I also use intramuscular stimulation (IMS) with my clients. I have taken courses in each of these areas treat individuals of all genders, with histories that include (but are not limited to!) proactive pelvic floor preparation in pregnancy, post-partum recovery, optimizing bowel/bladder function, prolapse, pelvic pain, and urinary leakage. I’ve been an athlete (skiing, tennis, running and more!) and worked with athletes for years now. I’ve supervised the UBC varsity athletes’ tutoring program, and wrote the UBC athletics online orientation course. I love to build physiotherapy programs that keep you as active as possible throughout your rehabilitation.

Physical activity and sport are ways that I’ve met incredible friends, maintained my mental health and unleashed my competitiveness. Physical therapy lets me use my specialized knowledge to educate on these topics that I love wholeheartedly. I also think it’s important to have discussions about health areas that can go overlooked – such as the pelvic floor. I choose to work at Treloar for the atmosphere and mentorship – the physiotherapists at Treloar have a lot of experience, and we are always willing to discuss the best technique(s) we’ve found to help our clients. I’m personally passionate about new experiences! Be that more physiotherapy knowledge (find me taking more advanced practice pelvic floor physiotherapy courses soon!), being a bookworm, trying new hikes, and planning my next trip. I also love a good inquiry in general – feel free to ask me all your questions in-session. I’m happy to spend time talking about the how and why.

Cherry Tung is a Registered Acupuncturist in Vancouver, BC, holding a doctorate degree in acupuncture. She is also a registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner in Hong Kong, where she has practiced for over 10 years.

With her delicate acupuncture technique, she focuses on resolving conditions related to structural misalignment from head to toe, from pain to systemic conditions.

Cherry’s acupuncture treatment has helped individuals to restore flexibility, mobility and overall wellness with improvement in sleep, digestion and mood.

Cherry graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a 5-year Bachelor Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and a 2-year Master Degree in Acupuncture, Moxibustion, and Tui Na. Following her studies and research in acupuncture for three years, she earned her Doctorate Degree in Acupuncture, Moxibustion, and Tui Na from the Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.

In addition to her formal education, Cherry is deeply grateful to her numerous clinical teachers in Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, who have significantly influenced her journey. Their dedication and guidance have shaped her into the acupuncturist she is today.

Cherry’s career path was inspired by destiny and great teachers. Raised in a family with generations of medical background in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine, her maternal grandfather and uncle were Chinese medicine doctors, while her father was trained in Western medicine. Her first encounter with acupuncture occurred at birth when her mother faced prolonged difficulties during delivery. Although her father expected her to become a doctor like her brother, Cherry did not develop an interest in medicine until she met her enlightening teacher, Yang Tong, who vividly articulated the fundamental philosophy and principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Initially, Cherry pursued Chinese medicine as a side interest until the sudden passing of her father from a stroke transformed her grief into determination. She returned to school to study Chinese medicine, and after completing her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, she met her acupuncture teacher, Lin Liang Chuan, who elevated her understanding of symptoms and body structure. With the delicate palpation and acupuncture skills she acquired, Cherry is committed to empowering individuals to find a second wind in their health.

Cherry chose to work at Treloar because she resonates with the clinic’s commitment to exceptional care tailored to individual needs, along with its focus on innovative treatment, empowerment, and education. She shares Treloar’s mission of ensuring that every person who walks through the doors leaves feeling better than they arrived, appreciating that few clinics have successfully upheld this standard for over 40 years.

Passionate about harmony with nature, nurturing home cooking with fresh local produce, and promoting ownership of recovery, Cherry believes that healing begins with active participation. She emphasizes that good health starts with the foundation: the foot.

I did my undergraduate studies in Kinesiology at SFU and my graduate studies in Kinesiology at UBC. Growing up, I was involved in many sports but mostly played soccer. During my time at SFU, I was volunteering with the athletic therapists, providing care and treatment to varsity athletes recovering from injuries. Since graduation and prior to joining Treloar, I worked as a Personal Trainer and Kinesiologist at a fitness studio, helping individuals build strength and confidence to lead active lives!

Exercise has played a very important role in my life. I think being active and exercising is one of the best ways someone can take care of themselves, and I love to teach people how to exercise and help instill in them the confidence that they can exercise. I want to help break down barriers preventing people from being active, so they can also find the same value in exercise that I have.

I choose to work at Treloar as here everyone strives for excellence, which is something I value personally and in my practice! Recovery can be hard but with a supportive group of practitioners that continuously strives to be the best and provide the best care to their patients, it becomes a little easier. Outside of the clinic, I am passionate about sports and trying out new activities! I like to be open to new experiences and challenges because there’s no better way of proving what I’m capable of doing.

I have worked as a kinesiologist since I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Human Kinetics with a focus in clinical physiology from UBC-Okanagan in 2020. Since then, I have been fortunate to work with a wide range of clients for a variety of health and fitness goals – including varsity athletes, Special Olympics athletes, post motor vehicle accidents rehabilitation, workplace injuries and individuals looking to improve their overall health. Whilst working with these clients I have learnt how to improve client focused care by individualizing treatment to enhance the process and progression of all goals. This concept allows me to work with the client to build lifelong tools. Over the past 3 years, I have realized that my favourite part of the job is watching people gain independence through exercise and find which physical activities bring them the most joy. Whether this activity is playing with grandchildren, running a marathon or simply improving strength to load the car up after a big Costco shop, developing physical independence is of utmost importance for quality of life.

From a young age, I discovered that physical health can have mental health benefits. I was always playing different types of sports but it wasn’t until the middle of high-school that I began to use strength training as a way to help manage my anxiety and stress. I not only fell in love with strength training, but it also improved my performance in other sports. I noticed quickly that there was lack of female presence in strength training and sports which inspired me to go into post-secondary education related to exercise and health so I can educate, represent as a role model and share the benefits of physical activity with others.

Treloar offers an environment that is motivating and supportive. I’ve had clients benefit from this environment due to the open gym concept that allows them to participate alongside others in physical activity, towards the united goal of improving health. I believe that using physical activity for enriching someone’s health is a huge component many people are currently missing in their lives. Being able to work in this environment with supportive mentors and collaborative methods is truly gratifying.

I am personally passionate about lifting others up to achieve their goals but stay grounded in the fact that only they will be able to push themselves through the finish line. As a therapist I can educate, support and provide tools/techniques for each client, but it is ultimately the clients who achieve those once-impossible activities. My favourite part of this job is the feeling I get when a client comes in and shares their accomplishments with me, after working together and using the tools I shared.

I began my physiotherapy career after completing my studies at the University of Sydney. Since then, I have gained experience treating a wide range of acute and chronic injuries in both hospital and private clinic settings. I was fortunate to work at an excellent medical clinic in Sydney, collaborating with allied health professionals, doctors, and specialists, which reinforced the importance of multi-disciplinary care for patients. Throughout my career, I have pursued additional courses to better understand the factors influencing pain experiences across the body. This journey led me to Curtin University, a renowned institution, where I focused on advanced manual therapy techniques and evidence-based pain management strategies. With a background in kinesiology and personal training, I am equipped to provide patients with the tools they need to begin their rehabilitative journey effectively. I specialize in managing acute and chronic pain in the spine, shoulders, and knees.

My inspiration to become a physiotherapist came from witnessing firsthand the impact of pain on people’s function and quality of life. This experience motivated me to help individuals find effective ways to manage and enhance their function and performance, enabling them to regain enjoyment in their activities.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new places and cultures or spending a quiet evening learning new cooking recipes. I am also enthusiastic about activities such as running, sports, hiking, and fishing.
