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

  • From the first session with Brennan, it was evident that he is an extremely knowledgeable physiotherapist and genuinely cares about his patients. I am very active but suffered a severe injury to my ankle

    Eddy
  • I have been working with Brennan for about a year regarding my stiff and sore back. He quickly figured out I had lat tightness arising from an old shoulder injury and bad posture. The needling provides quick relief from the tightness and the exercises he gave me continue to improve the underlying issue to prevent recurrence. I highly recommend Brennan!

    Joe E.
  • Wow is all I can say! Brennan is in a master class all by himself! He is calm, patient, gently encouraging and a fabulous communicator. He explains things in a way I can totally understand. I also love how he videotapes exercises for me so I have them for reference. I continue to see Brennan with utter confidence that I am in the very best of hands. I have noticed lasting improvement in my neck tightness and believe my left knee is slowly strengthening. If you are in need of a physiotherapist who truly cares and is expert in what he does, go see Brennan!

    Glenice W.
  • Thank you Brennan for the initial consultation. Being a very active person, I have seen many physio in my life. Brennan is so knowledgeable. I learned a lot about my body and how to fix it during the appointment. The issue I am dealing with comes from unexpected misalignment and previous injury that I wouldnt not even thought of. I feel very confident that I will be 100% back very soon. I highly recommend Brennan ! thank you again !

    Martine P.
  • Great service provided by Brennan. After running my second marathon in Victoria, BC, I sought treatment for what I believed was a lesion in my left knee. Little did I know it was actually a muscular imbalance on the left side of my body. After the initial assessment, we began releasing different muscles in my left leg and shoulder. Combined with the home exercises, I feel so much better now, and I can clearly see an improvement in my left leg strength. Overall, the attention is excellent. Brennan has a great touch with clients/patients, and it’s clear he is very knowledgeable. The service is also covered by my private insurance (Greenshield) through work, and the process for managing that has been very straightforward.

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.
