Dayna Kern

As a former NCAA volleyball player, Dayna is familiar with managing both acute and chronic injuries. She also understands what’s required to play sport at a high level and how to treat your body to ensure lifelong participation in sport and physical activity. She hopes to share this knowledge with all levels and ages of athletes and anyone who wants to stay active.

Most recently, Dayna has worked in multiple areas at Vancouver General Hospital alongside other healthcare practitioners to help patients get back home doing what they enjoy. From stroke rehab to falls prevention, Dayna has worked with a wide range of impairments and enjoys seeing the progress people make through participation with physiotherapy. She is passionate about helping people return to doing activities they love for as long as they can.

Dayna graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Management and a Master of Accounting, before graduating from UBC with her Master of Physical Therapy. Although starting her career in business, Dayna pursued Physical Therapy to combine her life-time love for physical activity with her passion for working with and caring for other people. Dayna works with clients of all ages and injuries with a particular interest in youth athletes, injury prevention, falls prevention and seniors' health. ​
