Simmy grew up in Osoyoos BC; fun fact…. it is in the only desert in Canada! Growing up in a small town meant limited social activities, that’s why she spent most of her time playing either soccer, volleyball or basketball. Being immersed in so many sports meant witnessing her fair share of injuries and the rehab it took to get back into the game. Those experiences lead to her pursuing a career in physiotherapy.

Simmy completed her Bachelor of Kinesiology at the University of Fraser Valley and her Master of Physiotherapy at the University of Sydney. Before moving to Australia to do Physiotherapy she worked as a Kinesiologist which provided a foundation in exercise prescription which allows an active approach to rehab. Before moving back to Canada Simmy spent time working in a private practice where she treated patients with sport and joint injuries. She is now able to supplement her background in exercise rehab with clinical experience in manual techniques for soft tissue release aimed at acute and chronic injuries. Simmy particularly enjoys treating knee and ankle injuries.

She believes that a combination of manual therapy and active rehab (exercises!) provides patients with optimal recovery.

In her spare time you can find Simmy on long walks, going for runs or fitting in a quick workout at the gym.

Vojtek (“Voy-tech”) completed his Master of Science in Physiotherapy at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland after earning his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Simon Fraser University. Having grown up in the Fraser Valley, he is excited to return home to British Columbia after spending several years living and working throughout Europe and the United Kingdom.

Vojtek’s interest in physiotherapy began while studying at SFU, where he worked as an Athletic Trainer with a competitive lacrosse team. Through supporting athletes with injury management and return-to-sport rehabilitation, he developed a passion for helping people recover, perform at their best, and stay active.

Before becoming a physiotherapist, Vojtek worked as a Kinesiologist in British Columbia, delivering rehabilitation programs for individuals with musculoskeletal, neurological, and complex functional conditions. He later gained valuable experience working within the NHS in Scotland, treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including sports injuries, post-operative rehabilitation, chronic pain, and workplace-related injuries.

One of the more unique aspects of Vojtek’s career has been his work in rehabilitation technology. While living in Europe, he collaborated with clinicians and engineers to help develop physiotherapy technologies, including anti-gravity treadmills, high-intensity laser therapy systems, and robotic exoskeletons used in neurological rehabilitation.

Vojtek believes that successful rehabilitation starts with understanding what matters most to each individual. His treatment approach combines education, hands-on therapy, and personalized exercise programs to help patients achieve meaningful and lasting results. He has a particular interest in manual therapy and looks forward to further expanding his skillset through dry needling and vestibular rehabilitation certification.

Outside the clinic, Vojtek enjoys snowboarding, hiking, soccer, playing tennis, and travelling. He is excited to be back in British Columbia and helping people return to the activities they enjoy most.
