"I injured my hand in a car accident last December, and my mobility wasn’t improving even after seeing other physiotherapists elsewhere. Since starting kinesiology with Manraj and physiotherapy with Alison, I’ve noticed a significant improvement. They are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly care about my progress. Highly recommend this clinic!"

Alison achieved both her Bachelor of Science and Master of Physical Therapy from UBC. She has experience working with a wide variety of clients including pre-and post-natal women, neurological disorders, sports injuries and seniors with mobility issues. Prior to pursuing her physical therapy degree, Alison worked extensively on falls prevention research as well as studies on how physical exercises can improve memory in older adults.
Her approach to treatment involves working one-on-one with clients to educate them about the root cause of their injury so as to prevent reoccurrences in the future. Alison is certified in Gunn-IMS (Intramuscular stimulation) and acupuncture (CAFCI). She has also completed post-graduate training in vestibular rehabilitation, manual therapy and soft tissue techniques.
Outside of the clinic, Alison can be found chasing her two kids around the playground, cycling around this beautiful city in search of her next favourite restaurant, or planning her next big adventure near and far.

I highly recommend this clinic for any of their treatments! Their staff has always been very welcoming and helpful. It is great to have a clinic with different specialties in one place. They all work so well together and help with the treatment plan to help you heal. I've been going to Hayer Health since Nov 2022. My back and wrist were hurt in a car accident and I was struggling with my every day tasks. I have been seeing one of their physiotherapist, Sam and when he's away I saw Alison, who also recommended that I start kinesiology and massage while being treated. I started with their Kinesiologist Sam Wu (who no longer works at HH), he was great, started to build up strength in my back and shoulders. When it seemed like my back was as good as it was going to get, he would encourage me to push on and not give up. I now work with their newest Kinesiologist Manraj, who has continued the strengthening and has given me home exercises to continue to maintain what we have gained with each session! I have finished seeing Arbind, who was my RMT, he really helped me get comfortable with deep tissue massage. He told me to breath through the deeper pressure and when he would use more pressure he always gave me a heads up so that I would breath into it. I was never good with massage and am someone who would avoid being massaged. However, Arbind knew the exact points that needed to be worked on to finally get through the tight knot in the back. I have found that having the three specialties work together has helped improve my back and wrist so much. I can actually work my full shift without pain or tightness starting up.
