Thoughtful Care, Built Around How You Move

At Cadence Physio & Rehab, we believe physiotherapy should be personal, intentional, and deeply rooted in understanding movement. Every body is different, and every story matters, which is why we take the time to listen, assess, and uncover the true cause of pain and dysfunction.

Our whole-body approach looks beyond isolated symptoms to understand how your body works as a system. Through detailed assessment, longer one-on-one sessions, and movement-based rehabilitation, we create thoughtful care plans designed to restore balance, improve strength, and deliver lasting results.

our story

Cadence Physio & Rehab was founded on a simple belief: physiotherapy should go beyond quick fixes and generic treatment plans. It should be thoughtful, personal, and built around truly understanding how the body moves.

After years of seeing patients cycle through short appointments, rushed assessments, and temporary relief, we knew there had to be a better way.

A way that gives people time to feel heard, properly assessed, and supported with care that looks at the full picture.

At Cadence, we help the painful area feel better while also looking at what may be contributing to it. Sometimes the area that hurts is the main issue. Other times, another area may be affecting how your body moves, loads, compensates, or recovers.

Our care is built around:

Detailed assessment.
Thoughtful treatment.
Education and exercise.
A plan that fits your body, your goals, and your life.

We’re a team of physiotherapists who believe good care means understanding the whole person — not just the symptoms.

Whether your pain is new, ongoing, or keeps coming back, our goal is to help you feel better, understand your body, and build confidence in what to do next

CADENCE Philosophy

Expert Care, Whole Body Approach, Designed for Lasting Change

We believe true recovery begins with understanding how your body moves – treating pain at its source, not just where it shows up.

See What Our Patients Say

  • I had been experiencing persistent knee, neck and back pain from cycling for several months and was struggling to find relief. Brennan provided a thorough assessment and tailored treatment plan that addressed my specific needs. The combination of techniques used, including dry needling, cupping, massage, and targeted home exercises, proved to be very effective. I appreciate his professional approach and clear explanations throughout the treatment process. My pain has significantly reduced, and I’m now able to enjoy cycling and other activities with much more comfort. I highly recommend Brennan to anyone seeking physiotherapy services.

  • I have been seeing Brennan since September 2024 for a variety of issues, and I’m very pleased with the improvement I’ve seen so far. As a pianist himself, Brennan is particularly attuned to the specific challenges musicians face. What sets Brennan apart from others is his holistic approach–he is an expert at evaluating the body as a whole and pinpointing upstream issues that result in discomfort, often in places you wouldn’t expect! On top of his expertise, Brennan is incredibly friendly and creates a supportive environment for patients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

  • I had endured severe knee pain for several years, as ageing joints suffered from bone loss and arthritis crept in. I visited several physiotherapists while away from Vancouver but nothing seemed to really help. After we returned to Vancouver I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Brennan’s clinic. Brennan is like no other therapist I’ve worked with – he didn’t just look at my knees in isolation, he looked at my whole muscular-skeletal system. He discovered quite quickly that my alignment was favouring the use of shoulder muscles to compensate for an old knee injury. I was amazed and somewhat dubious, but soon realised that he was right. He concentrated on straightening my posture and on keeping those shoulder muscles relaxed and unengaged. Over the next few weeks I found could work more easily on building up the muscles I needed to work my legs more efficiently. Honestly, I could barely climb a flight of stairs without hauling myself along on the handrail, and after a couple of months of exercises and dry needling I was easily walking up several flights of stairs to our fourth-floor apartment! I couldn’t believe how fine it felt to walk easily without pain. Brennan has such a kind and caring manner. He has high expectations, but he is so nice he makes you want to work hard, and experiencing the great results he achieves keeps you fully motivated. I’m now in the UK, but I’ve learned enough to keep up with what Brennan has taught me. He even spent the last two sessions showing me exercises I can move onto in future, to keep myself more agile and free of pain than anytime in the previous 6 years.

  • Raj Yoganathan has been able to help my chronic neck pain when many other physios and chiropractors have not. He’s so keen to actually help clients he moved to Canada to learn the particular technique he uses. He’s also kind and easy to communicate with. I’m really grateful to have found him.

    Dorothy B.
  • I had an amazing experience with Brennan as my physiotherapist. I went in for a running assessment, and he not only corrected my posture but also provided valuable cues to help improve my overall form. Thanks to his expert recommendations, I successfully completed my first BMO Half Marathon this year! Brennan also gave me exercises to enhance my swimming stroke, which have been incredibly beneficial. His needle work on my back was another highlight of my visit. I can’t wait to return for more sessions. Highly recommend Brennan for anyone seeking a top-notch physiotherapist!

Frequently Ask Question

Commonly Asked Questions & Answers

Have questions about our approach, treatments, or what to expect during your visit? We’ve gathered answers to the most common questions to help you feel informed, comfortable, and confident before booking your appointment.

Do you offer direct billing?2026-08-18T15:15:57-07:00

Yes, we offer direct billing to many insurance providers when available. Please bring your insurance information to your appointment, and our team will be happy to help submit your claim on your behalf. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider if you have questions about what is included.

How Long Will It Take To Reduce My Pain?2026-08-18T15:15:57-07:00

Many patients experience noticeable relief within their first few sessions. However, because everybody moves differently, your exact timeline depends on whether your pain is from a sudden acute injury or a long-standing, chronic issue.

The Quick Fix: Our initial priority is always comfort, using hands-on therapy and targeted strategies to calm your nervous system and reduce immediate pain quickly.

The Lasting Result: True recovery takes a bit longer. Once the initial pain quietens down, we focus on rebuilding your movement patterns and strength, so the issue doesn’t return.

During your 60-minute initial one-on-one assessment, we will map out the underlying drivers of your pain and provide a clear, personalized treatment plan with a timeline tailored entirely to your goals.

Do You Treat Hypermobility?2026-08-18T15:15:57-07:00

Yes, absolutely. We have specialized clinical experience working with individuals navigating Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS).

Traditional, cookie-cutter physiotherapy protocols often miss the mark with hypermobile bodies because they focus too much on generic stretching. Our approach is entirely different:

Building Stability: We focus on precise joint stability and improving your body’s spatial awareness (proprioception).

Targeted Strength: We design custom, low-impact loading programs to strengthen the muscles supporting your lax joints.

Pacing & Support: We understand that hypermobile nervous systems can be sensitive, so we tailor our manual therapies and exercise progressions to ensure you feel safe, supported, and in control of your movement.

When the Pain Goes Away, Does This Mean I’ve Fully Recovered from My Injury?2026-08-18T15:15:57-07:00

Not necessarily. Pain is simply your body’s alarm system. When the pain fades, it usually means the immediate tissue distress or inflammation has calmed down—but it doesn’t mean the root cause is fixed.

Think of it like this: if you turn off a smoke detector, the underlying fire might still be smoldering. If you return to full activity the moment you are pain-free without addressing why the injury happened, your body will rely on old movement compensations, heavily increasing the risk of the pain coming right back.

Our job isn’t just to silence the alarm; it’s to fix the structural vulnerabilities, restore your full physical capacity, and prevent re-injury for the long term.

Does a Previous Injury Relate to My Current Pain?2026-08-18T15:15:57-07:00

Great question! Often the body is very good at compensating for previous injuries and so previous injuries can have a significant impact on your current discomfort. During your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will discuss your previous injury history and timeline to identify any connections between your past injuries and your present pain.

In order to determine the root cause of what’s currently going on, your physiotherapist will then complete a detailed assessment of the body including areas that are currently bothering you and areas that may have been involved in previous injuries.

The body is really good at compensating for previous injuries and sometimes old movement patterns continue to occur even after an injury has been healed. By assessing previous injuries, we aim to uncover the underlying cause of what’s driving your pain today.
