Pain Relief Active Rehab | Vancouver Kinesiologist
Move Better. Hurt Less. Regain Control of Your Body.
Chronic or recurring pain doesn’t just affect your body — it impacts your energy, mood, sleep, and confidence in movement. Whether it’s persistent low back pain, shoulder tension, knee discomfort, or full-body aches, pain can be exhausting — especially when you’ve tried everything and still don’t feel better.
At UP Athletics & Rehab, we offer pain relief through active rehabilitation, led by a registered kinesiologist in Vancouver. We help people understand their pain, improve their movement, and regain strength and function — without relying solely on passive treatments or temporary fixes.
Why Active Rehab Matters for Pain Relief
Many people dealing with chronic or recurrent pain fall into a frustrating cycle: flare-up, rest, short-term relief, and then the pain returns. While hands-on treatments like massage or physiotherapy can help in the short term, lasting pain relief requires movement — the right kind of movement, done with purpose and progression.
Pain often changes how you move — leading to compensation patterns, muscle imbalances, stiffness, or deconditioning. Over time, this creates more stress on the body and perpetuates discomfort.
Active rehab with a kinesiologist breaks that cycle. We use functional, progressive exercise to retrain movement patterns, restore mobility, and build the strength your body needs to move with less pain and more confidence.
How We Help
Each program is tailored to your body, your pain history, and your goals. Whether your pain is longstanding or just starting to interfere with your life, we begin where you are — and move forward together.
Your sessions may include:
- Joint-friendly strength and mobility training
- Postural retraining and movement re-education
- Core stability and load management techniques
- Breathwork and nervous system regulation strategies
- Gradual exposure to pain-free or low-pain movement
- Education to help you understand and manage your pain
Our goal is to help you feel more in control — not just of your pain, but of how you move through your day.
All sessions take place in a private gym setting, ensuring focused attention, minimal distractions, and a clean, comfortable space to train.
Supporting Kitsilano & Vancouver Residents Living with Pain
Kitsilano is a vibrant, active neighbourhood — but many residents quietly deal with pain that limits their ability to enjoy the things they love. Whether you’re a runner with knee pain, an office worker with chronic tension, or a parent managing back or hip discomfort, you’re not alone.
At UP Athletics & Rehab, we provide a supportive, one-on-one environment that focuses on what you can do — and how to build on it. No crowded clinic floors, no generic routines — just personalized movement that makes sense for your body and your life.
Why Work with a Kinesiologist?
As a registered kinesiologist, I specialize in movement-based recovery for people living with pain. My approach is rooted in exercise science, adapted to real-life challenges, and guided by compassion and collaboration.
This isn’t about pushing through pain. It’s about learning how to move in a way that reduces it — and helps you take back control of your body.
