Our Story
Synergy Physio was founded by Physiotherapist Dr. Linda-Joy (LJ) Lee in 2005 and is the home of the innovative ConnectTherapy™ and Thoracic Ring Approach™ assessment & treatment models. The physiotherapists at Synergy Physio use a whole body approach to determine the root cause of your problem, whether it is pain, recurrent injuries, or decreased sports performance. An individualized, detailed assessment determines how imbalances, postural habits, old injuries and current symptoms are all connected, and a personalized treatment plan is then prescribed. This approach is individualized and evidence-based for optimum efficacy to treat your problem and help you get back to doing the things you love.
The Synergy Physio team has extensive education and training in both the Thoracic Ring Approach™ - an innovative assessment & treatment model for the thoracic spine & ribcage created by LJ Lee - and the whole body model ConnectTherapy™ - LJ’s evolution of the Integrated Systems Model (The ISM, co-developed by LJ Lee and Diane Lee). Restoring optimal movement has always been a key focus of LJ's work. "Meaningful Task Analysis" is the assessment technique LJ created to integrate specific hands-on assessment with functional movement analysis.
In 2019, we opened our new ConnectPilates™ Studio - just one floor down in the same building. If you like the sound of a space, outfitted with top-of-the-line Pilates equipment, flooded with natural light, calming colours and all within North Vancouver’s newest state-of-the-art movement space, then you really need to come in and see us. Our highly skilled Pilates team is ready to facilitate another way to explore your body’s potential.
The Synergy Physio team also has special training in women's health, postpartum form and function, men's health issues, sports injuries & optimizing performance. Each member has their own special interests - see their bios on our website to find the right fit for you. Let us help you Move Better, Feel Better, and Be Better and get back to doing the things you love!
