Susan’s physiotherapy practice incorporates manual therapy, posture and movement analysis, and specific exercise prescription. She is also a certified practitioner of Intra-Muscular Stimulation (or dry needling), an effective treatment for chronic pain.

While well versed in addressing all kinds of injuries, there are a few areas that are of particular focus in her practice:

• Pelvic and lower back instability and re-alignment by retraining specific core muscles.
• Post-mastectomy rehabilitative care to patients who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Susan assists patients throughout the various stages of treatment and breast reconstruction surgeries to restore good posture, shoulder movement, strength and function, alleviate pain and reduce fibrotic adhesions or cording to help prevent lymphedema and a return to normal activity.
• Women’s health issues related to pregnancy, injury, menopause or hormonal changes including pre and postpartum urinary incontinence.
• Personalized blood flow restriction rehabilitation (PBFR). Susan is a PBFR course instructor providing certification training to rehabilitation professionals across Canada, the USA and in Europe. This role has led her to provide PBFR training to rehab teams working with the Canadian Military, professional sports teams as well as those working in clinics and rehabilitation centres.

In her free time, Susan enjoys family time and trying to keep up with her two sons (no easy task!). She loves hiking the north shore trails, running the seawall, skiing, dancing and music.

Grace graduated with a Masters in Physiotherapy (McMaster) and a Bachelors in Kinesiology (SFU). Her post-graduate education includes certification in Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (Gunn-IMS, UBC) and a Diploma in Manual and Manipulative Therapy with internationally recognized IFOMPT (FCAMPT).

Her approach to physiotherapy is to get people going to achieve their goals. She does this by teaching patients about body awareness and mechanics in their every day movements;  manual therapy (including manipulations); dry needling via Gunn-IMS; and motor retraining via prescription of injury-specific exercises.

She has had the privilege of working with athletes of all ranges: Olympians, professional athletes, octogenarians and adolescents. Her work has taken her to China and Africa. Being a musician herself, she takes a special interest in musician injuries. She has assisted in teaching orthopaedic clinical skills classes at UBC and is an Orthopaedic Division mentor with the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.

Grace is bilingual (English and Cantonese) and has given educational talks and media interviews in both languages (with a whole lot of practice in Cantonese!). While she has been a long time cyclist (commuting, road, gravel, mountain), her recent pursuits in learning how to boulder and how to play pickleball have filled her curiosities towards staying active while having fun.

Cherry is a Registered Acupuncturist in Vancouver BC with a doctorate degree in acupuncture. She is
also a registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner in Hong Kong for over 10 years.

She focuses on helping individuals restore physical balance and recover from other chronic and systemic
conditions so that they can enjoy life with improved mobility, flexibility and overall wellness.

Her first encounter with acupuncture was at birth when her mother had prolonged difficulties in
delivering her to life. Her father named her Cherry, short for the cherry blossom symbolizing rebirth
and resilience.

Raised in a family with generations of medical background, she has extensive exposure to both
traditional Chinese and Western medicines.

To Cherry, healing is about empowering people for a second wind. How we perceive the root cause makes all
the difference in treatment.

Acupuncture has also empowered
Cherry’s own recovery. She knows well first-hand how it feels to be woken up to pain and constrained
in daily activities.

Enlightened by the process of healing, she sees the human body as a river: smooth flow enhances
vitality whereas stagnant flow creates blockages. Most tension, pain and degeneration are rooted in
structural misalignment and blockages. When the human body has restored supply of blood and
nurturing energies, it will start its own healing process.

Most patients came to Cherry with a complex mix of symptoms involving different parts of the body
and systemic disorders. Seeing the body as interconnected, she takes the time to assess the whole
body and trace the seemingly unrelated symptoms to the root.

More than pain management, Cherry uses acupuncture to relieve blockages and misalignments that
are closely related to a diverse range of dermatological, digestive, gynecological, immunological,
neurological, respiratory, sleep and mood disorders.
With her delicate needling and palpation techniques, she tailors effective treatment for individuals to
restore balance and mobility for lasting wellness, from head to toe.
