HALYNA VREKEN

KAREN CHOW
BKin, Registered Physiotherapist, Gunn IMS
Now accepting ICBC patients
Karen studied Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University before going to the University of Toronto to obtain her Bachelor of Physical Therapy degree in 2003. She is a certified practitioner of Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (CGIMS). Karen mainly treats conditions of an orthopedic nature, sports injuries, and myofascial conditions (i.e., patients with long standing musculoskeletal pain originating from the spine). Karen begins with a comprehensive initial exam that may include a postural assessment and real time ultrasound (RTUS) assessment of the major core muscles. A partnership is developed by finding the root cause of your symptoms and establishing a treatment plan to help you achieve your goals. Treatment is very individualized (1:1) and may include manual and manipulative therapy, soft tissue techniques, modalities, IMS, and exercises.
