Please note that we require a 24 hour notice to cancel an appointment. If it is under 24 hours then we will try our best to fill the spot but if we are not able to then the full rate of the appointment will apply. Please note that benefit carriers cannot be charged for services that weren’t rendered, as such all cancellations or no show fees will be charged to your payment method on file. Thanks for your understanding.
If you can’t find an appointment time as soon as you would like then put yourself on the waitlist using the link at the bottom of this page. Make sure to select either text or email notifications in your preferences. Cancellations happen every week so there is a good chance you will get an appointment sooner than expected! Please note schedules are typically posted one month in advance, for example in the last week of April, the June schedule will be posted.

Why do our bodies create pain? This is to signal to you that something isn't functioning properly but pain in a specific area doesn't always necessarily mean that is where the problem is arising from. Our bodies like to create dysfunctional patterns to compensate for pain or weakness therefore we work alongside you to find the root cause of your discomfort. Whether you have a specific condition, injury, trauma, repetitive movement pattern or continual posture discomfort, our therapists use different types of assessment to figure out the "why". This way we can create a custom treatment and recovery plan to bring you the desired results you deserve.

Originally from Salmon Arm, Liz moved to Kelowna in 2007 to attend post-secondary school. Upon completion of her program, she started working full-time in an office setting which led to chronic back pain. This ongoing discomfort prompted her to seek help from an RMT. Back pain alleviated, Liz decided to become an RMT herself - graduating from Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy.
Liz has a special interest in working with and supporting active individuals. As a Level 2 CrossFit Coach she understands a variety of different sports such as powerlifting, olympic lifting and gymnastics. Speaking “the same language” makes communication and correction of movements discussed within a treatment easier for gym-goers or CrossFit athletes.
Throughout the years Liz has dealt with her own injuries, causing muscle imbalances and compensation patterns. Learning to correct these issues taught her that imbalances can be caused not only by injuries but also through bad habits. Successfully overcoming her own challenges has given her the tools to help others improve their quality of life.
When Liz is not in the clinic, you will find her either at the gym training for the next CrossFit competition or enjoying the outdoors: dirt-biking, snowboarding, hiking, backpacking and snowshoeing are some of her favourite activities!
