Van Sports & Physiotherapy

Kim is the best!
She is very knowledgeable, thorough and very friendly. She analyzes my problems very well and has always recommended very effective remedies. I am a fairly active older adult and as one can expect, I have my fair share of injuries over the years, which Kim has always managed to fix.
I would certainly recommend Kim to anyone who need a physiotherapist without any hesitation.

I would recommend Collin McArthur for a good therapeutic massage. I have been a client of Collin's for almost 2 years now and found that he is a professional who knows what he is doing and can take care of your ailments.

As a 46yr old owner and active member of the Home Run Movers team (and outdoor enthusiast), it’s crucial that I keep on top of my fitness and conditioning. I recently experienced what I feared was a slipped disc, that kinda scared me. So, I made an appt based on my partners positive reference. I was feeling better before hand, but I’m glad that kept the appointment. Alen listened closely, ran me through a list of physical tests and identified a different, albeit important issue that had caused the problem on my right side causing sciatic pain and instability. He educated me on the cause and equipped me with a series of simple exercises that I will be doing to strengthen that area and bring it back into balance. Thanks Alen, I appreciate you.

Excellent high-quality physiotherapy. Everybody is different. Every injury has a different. Every person seeking help is at different level of understanding and ability.

Compared to the usual physiotherapy I have received over the years where they treat everyone with the same injury exactly the same with the same techniques where someone spends 5 minutes checking on my damaged body, then hooks me up to same electronic machine for 30 minutes before telling me I'm done, see you next time. On a set schedule, using the same set of tools.

Alen works on my damaged body hands-on, getting to see and feel what is going on. What is healing on time, and what needs more attention. He spends the entire 30 minutes working with me and on me. He is with me giving pointers, taking my feedback, and adjusting my session exactly to what i need to heal the best I can. I can not say enough good things about the treatment Iave received.

I'm a 58 year old overweight cyclist who has recently had a full right knee replacement and needed rehab to recover. I have recovered from many terrible injuries over my lifetime, and I have trained with top coaches, physiotherapists, massage therapists, and nutritionists as a professional cyclist. Getting the proper attention and treatment is the key to the best recovery.

Alen Birac is an amazing physiotherapist! I came in with a couple of issues that have been bothering me for several years. After a quick exam, he was able to pinpoint both issues (one with a muscle, and the other with a nerve) and provide helpful guidance on the road to recovery.

Very friendly and competent service!

All physiotherapist are incredible, I have a lot of fun going to Van Sport even that the reasons are never good. They are very professionals and equipments are good.

Mariana was knowledgeable, friendly and probably the best Physiotherapist I've been to.

I was experiencing debilitating pain and after one session/assessment with Yvonne, I had more clarity, she took a gentle approach, and I am healed! She’s a magician! Plus the mango candies in the office they give out are delicious! Nice receptionist too.

I've done a lot of physio and Kim is my new fav of all time. I'll be back.at least until I'm fixed!

Mariana was a miracle worker for me! I went in with acute shoulder/back pain. She discovered it was actually a rib that was out of alignment that was the source of the pain. I felt immediate relief following her treatment and couldn't be more thankful.

Fabio is simply wonderful. Not only is he a lovely person but he is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable and a true healer. I am so grateful to have found him.:)

Yvonne and Collin are great and I can’t recommend them enough for anyone recovering from injuries hoping to return to full functionality and return to sports. They were able to work together to help develop a recovery plan for my shoulder knee and ankle in conjunction after an accident.

They were very patient and supportive while pushing me to challenge myself during each session to help recover. They struck a great balance between managing pain while increasing strength.

For anyone recovering from injuries or just doing a check up i would recommend they visit Yvonne and Collin

Kim did a bike fitting for me and she was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented and made changes to my bike on the spot to help me out. It feels more comfortable already. She also provided me with active exercises to help address the underlying weakness that was part of the problem. 5 stars!

Dr. Kim was so helpful and informative. She was very friendly and I really liked her treatment and feel much better.

Mariana was superb …explained what, why she was doing.plus encouraging me.
She has very strong hands….
She is conscientious, detail orientated, …communicates well.
Look forward to my next appointment.

Everyone was professional and friendly and Mariana is very knowledgeable while also being able to convey that knowledge.

This clinic is amazing! The staff really take the time to identify the source of your pain and injury. In addition to using the most up-to-date treatments the staff also develop very customized exercises to assist with recovery. Thanx Van Sports and Physiotherapy!

Mariana is very knowledgeable and I am very happy with her recovery plan she has come up with for me. I highly recommend her. The direct billing is so convenient and I truly appreciate Van Sports offering this service!

Kim is a no nonsense, very technical physiotherapist. She's been helping me maintain good health while I compete at a high level in adventure racing, cycling, and triathlon. She's helped me overcome stubborn IT band issues, neck and back problems, and has given me an exercise regime that has helped improved muscle imbalances, core stability, and strength. I highly recommend Kim - she's helped me tremendously!

Working on torn muscles and helping with stretching exercises - It's never painless, but its always amazing - Yvonne more or less saved my messed up shoulder and keeps you honest with your personal actions. Ya Gotta Stretch and do the work.

In one word, Kim is "great"! Each time I hurt myself, I definitely know who to call. She is friendly, skilled, and a great listener. Thanks Kim!

Amazing experience. She’s very friendly and she cares about your treatment! Definitely feels better after the treatment and doing the exercises at home!

I found Van Sports & Physiotherapy online and thought to check their website. The booking process was super smooth and I was able to meet Mariana the next day. The staff is friendly and there was no waiting both time I visited.

I have done two sessions with Mariana so far, and she is awesome! Friendly, easy o talk to, and have seen great improvements on my injury.
Looking forward to future sessions and recover soon!

I've seen Siobhan for 6 months, she's excellent! The different injuries I've had in my knee and hip have improve notoriously with the treatment. She's very clear in explaining what is happening with your body (for me education is important so you can manage your injuries properly), giving you variate of exercises to do at home and answering all your possible questions. I feel very well-cared for and I'm super grateful for such a positive impact in my health. I'd recommend her 100%

Used to see Michael for a running injury - he was fantastic and worked with me diligently to get to the root cause of the problem opposed to quick fixes I've experienced at other clinics. Will be visiting the VanSports team again this week for a separate concern. Communication is always fantastic with incredibly quick response times for all inquiries. All team members are friendly, seem down to earth, genuinely interested in helping you and create a relaxed yet professional environment. Side note, location is great being downtown Vancouver.

Mariana is very knowledgeable. She created great goals for my recovery, based on my request to go back to play sports.

I’m relatively new to Van Sports and Physiotherapy but I’m so glad I found Yvonne. The level of care has been fantastic and the clinic is very welcoming. I’d have no hesitation in recommending the clinic to anyone in need of first class help. Yvonne has given me answers to my knee problems I didn’t know I needed - she’s awesome!

Woke up with a stiff neck and decided to try this clinic out as its centrally located.

Booked an appointment with Mariana and it turned out to be amazing! Within a few minutes she was able to diagnose the problem and reduce the pain with some massage and shockwave therapy.

Also, seamless experience at the reception as they directly billed my insurance provider. 10/10 would recommend

Yvonne is kind, knowledgeable in her expertise and extremely helpful at resolving the issues that cause pain and injuries to my body. I’d recommend her service to anyone.

I’ve seen Kim twice for general/ work related aches and pains. She addressed all my concerns and the amount of knowledge she bestowed upon me left me thoroughly impressed. Highly recommend!

KIM MCARTHUR YAE is a registered Physio at this office and I was recommended to her by my amazing friend Shelby so I knew I’d be in good hands! Kim is brilliant and really knows how to help you achieve your goals, whether you are an athlete and trying to get stronger or fix muscles that you are overworking (I originally went to her for my knees during training for Tough Mudder) or if you were in an accident and need help healing from injuries (this is what she is helping me with now). She is multi talented and offers so many different kinds of treatment! I can’t support her enough or encourage everyone to go see her if you care about your fitness and body! She’s also very funny and relatable and has a great energy about her! Thanks so much Kim for everything!

Yvonne Law is an awesome physiotherapist, highly recommended. She takes her time going through exercises, will include manual massage techniques, EMS and ultrasound if needed. Very helpful for different concerns.

I've been working with Siobhan for over a year now on a meniscus injury in my right knee. She has been phenomenal with supporting me and giving me exercises and stretches that really help to strengthen and alleviate the knee pain. I see her once a month for maintenance (because I'm terrible at not doing her prescribed exercises every day) and then once a week whenever my knee pain feels worse. If I followed her instructions more rigorously, I'm sure I wouldn't have to keep seeing her for physio. The rest of the staff here are also very friendly and always remember my name!

I've had a sprain ankle problem for over 4 years now from playing competitive soccer and sports. Recently injured it again a month back and thought I try out Physiotherapy for the first time. I'm grateful I got to meet Siobhan and she has been amazing, actually first week I was able to go back to training at the gym, but very lightly. Absolutely recommend them to anyone, I've actually recommended them already to two of my friends.

I had a deep tissue muscle injury. Yvonne the physiotherapist is great. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her to anyone. My experience working with her has been extremely positive. I am almost back to a 100% and without her great skills I'm pretty sure I would have not recovered in such a timely manner. Thank you Yvonne!

I just had my first appointment with Siobhan for a chronic, nagging problem that I've seen other physiotherapists for in the past. The assessment and treatment she gave was soo thorough and I'm finally optimistic about getting better! Thanks Siobhan

I have had appointments with both Yvonne and Fabio and they both are great! Helped me a lot with my back pain issues.

I am seeing Yvonne Law for an ICBC knee injury. She is awesome and feels like an old friend. If you forget an outfit or just don't want to bring anything they have clothes you can wear. The people at the desk are also really friendly every time.

The location is right by the Granville skytrain which makes it convenient. I had some trouble finding the office in the building the first time. It's on the 5th floor of the building, and if you go outside of regular business hours you have to call for them to come get you in the lobby.

ZiLi Wang is amazing, see him. He is really cool got a very caring sincere vibe and he fixed my back. I love this place. Great reception. Great atmosphere.

This place is amazing!
Zili has made a big difference in my healing process.
I definitely recommend this office and Zili.
