Neck & Back Physiotherapy Vancouver

This month PABC and Main Street Physiotherapy Clinic will focus on how to prevent / improve common neck & back injuries.

Back pain affects 80% of people at some point in their lives. And, back and neck pain are among the most widespread reasons patients seek physiotherapy. Back pain can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain, and can be acute or chronic. Neck pain, which is closely associated with back pain, occurs when muscles are strained from poor posture or injury, or when joints are worn or nerves are compressed. Both conditions can be debilitating and effect a patient’s physical and mental well being.

“Chantelle is knowledgeable, approachable and a joy to be around. The part that makes her a wonderful physiotherapist is the time she takes to assess and treat me as well as her caring approach. She is very flexible and willing to look at new approaches for treatment when something is not working. I very much appreciate Chantelle’s support and willingness to do whatever it takes to reach my treatment goals. I would highly recommend Chantelle as a physiotherapist.”
