About Gravity Physiotherapy
Gravity Physiotherapy was created to provide a space where I can show people how to be the best at what they do. My goal is to give you all the tools you need to not only to recover from an injury, but how to prevent it from happening again in the future. I believe that the key to success in physiotherapy is to build a partnership with a client, understand their problem, develop the plan and achieve it together. Exercise prescription is my strong point and is what sets me apart from others. Learning how to improve your strength, flexibility or endurance is how you truly improve your self. With the clinic space and gym I have created, this is where I can help people in Vernon, Armstrong, Lake Country and the Okanagan get to the next level.
