Ryan, Sheldon, Natalie & Tomas hosted AMSMC’s first Pickleball Injury Prevention Workshop for the members of the NSWC Racquets Society. Proper warm-up, cool-down, & exercises to prevent common pickleball-specific injuries were highlighted with the group. It was a fun and informative evening! Thank you for having us come share our knowledge.

Another great AMSMC Sports Mentorship Night lead by Scott Fraser.

This session focused on hip and shoulder taping, including hip SPICA taping for hip strains and AC joint stabilization for sprains. Thanks also to Teri-Lynn Fraser and Kevin Valcke for their expertise too!

Meet Tomas, registered physiotherapist and kinesiologist at our North Vancouver clinic.

Tomas completed his physiotherapy training at University of British Columbia and has a background in kinesiology and strength & conditioning. Originally from the Czech Republic, sport has always been a huge part of his life — starting with tennis and eventually transitioning into endurance sports, most recently triathlon.

He enjoys working with people from all walks of life and at every stage of recovery, with a particular passion for helping endurance athletes perform at their best. Tomas is excited to continue getting involved in the local community and supporting people in staying active and healthy.

Outside the clinic — and the many hours spent training for triathlon — you’ll find him playing board games or hanging out with his dog, Archie 🐶

Stay tuned for an upcoming series on split squats — one of his favourite exercises!

This past weekend, we hosted what we hope will be the first of many AMSMC Half Day Conferences — a morning dedicated to learning, collaboration, and elevating patient care.

We also took time to celebrate and acknowledge Andrea Reid’s .reid.physio incredible 20 years with the clinic. Her dedication to patient care, her commitment to clinical education through the MPT program at UBC, and her passion for professional development set a standard we could all strive toward. We are truly fortunate to have her on our team! 💛

Thank you to all presenters and for everyone’s contributions to the discussion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

This week Scott led another AMSMC Sport Mentorship Evening focusing on wrist and hand taping techniques for athletes. From supporting thumb sprains — common in contact and ball sports like football and volleyball — to stabilizing fingers for climbers, we explored tape applications that help protect joints, limit excessive movement, and support play when athletes need it most.

01/28/2026

We’ve added VALD ForceFrame and VALD DynaMo to the clinic — alongside the VALD ForceDecks we already use.
That means even more precise testing of:
✔️ Strength
✔️ Power
✔️ Range of motion
✔️ Side-to-side asymmetries

These tools give us objective data, so your training and rehab programs can be tailored specifically to your body and goals. We can also track your progress over time in detail, making it easier to see improvements and know exactly when you’re ready to level up or return to sport.

Less guessing. More data. Better results. 📈

Whether you’re recovering from an injury or looking to enhance performance, this technology helps move you closer to your goals. Ask your clinician about adding VALD testing to your next session!

✨ Meet Our New Kinesiologist: Narumi! ✨

We’re excited to welcome Narumi, who will be taking over from Aliana (headed back to school!), and providing kinesiology services at our Yaletown clinic! She graduated from Camosun College in 2024 with a Bachelor of Athletic & Exercise Therapy and is a Registered Kinesiologist, Certified Athletic Therapist (CAT(C)), Clinical Exercise Physiologist (CSEP), and NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer.

At the clinic, Narumi focuses on providing personal training and active rehabilitation to help clients restore optimal function, health, and quality of life through supervised tailored exercise programs.

In addition to her kinesiology role, Narumi has covered a variety of sports as an Athletic Therapist including rugby, soccer, tennis, basketball, ice hockey, and volleyball, and currently works with the North Shore Warriors Hockey Academy.

When she’s not in the clinic or on the sidelines, Narumi stays active with long-distance running (10K & half marathons), lifting, cycling, hiking, volleyball, and soccer.

In this reel, UBC PhD researcher and physiotherapist Jem Arnold is testing for a condition many cyclists don’t even know exists: a blood-flow limitation in the iliac arteries (FLIA). It’s rare, but even strong, fit endurance athletes can be affected. This vascular issue can steal power and cause pain or heaviness in the legs when you push hard — yet often goes unnoticed or is mistaken for a muscle or overuse injury.

Jem has worked internationally with cyclists, triathletes, and runners with sport-related vascular conditions, and has helped develop screening tests and treatment guidelines for athletes with blood-flow limitations in the iliac arteries. We’re excited to bring Jem’s research into clinical practice.

For more information, call or email our Yaletown clinic at yaletown@allanmcgavinphysio.com / 604-642-6761, or contact jem.arnold@ubc.ca.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
