After a year of studying and traveling, Ian is excited to be back at Intent Health!

Ian is passionate about helping people manage pain—whether it’s new, recurring, or chronic.

Ian also offers direct billing for folks with ICBC claims.

Having studied the biology of pain at a graduate level, he also enjoys discussing factors that can influence the experience of pain and helping people navigate the broader healthcare system to manage pain-related conditions.

He prefers to give everyone a chance to relax into the treatment quietly, but he enjoys answering treatment-related questions and engaging in light conversation if desired.

Professional Interests:

✔ Chronic pain
✔ Computer work ergonomics
✔ Neck-related dizziness, headaches & pain
✔ Lower back pain & sciatica
✔ Jaw pain & dysfunction
