✨Practitioner Spotlight: Chris Wayne✨

Meet our practitioner of the week, Physiotherapist Chris Wayne!

What do you like to do in your free time?
I like to stay active by strength training, hiking, and getting outdoors whenever I can. I also enjoy keeping up with new research and continuing education in physiotherapy because I like improving my clinical skills and finding better ways to help my patients. Outside of that, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, which helps me maintain a good balance and come back to work energized

What is your favourite part of the job?
My favourite part of being a physiotherapist is helping people regain confidence in their movement and return to the activities that are meaningful to them. It’s rewarding to see the progress patients make and know I’ve played a part in improving their quality of life.

What is your favourite muscle and why?
I’d probably choose the iliopsoas because it’s a fascinating muscle from both an anatomical and clinical perspective. It’s the primary hip flexor, but it also has an important role in lumbopelvic stability and movement. Because it crosses both the lumbar spine and the hip, dysfunction can contribute to a variety of presentations, including hip pain, low back pain, altered gait, and reduced athletic performance. I enjoy assessing how it interacts with the rest of the kinetic chain rather than viewing it in isolation.

What services do you offer?
I provide evidence-based physiotherapy for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions, including spinal pain, sports injuries, joint disorders, post-operative rehabilitation, TMJ dysfunction, headaches, and chronic pain.

Treatment is individualized and may include manual therapy (mobilization/manipulation), soft tissue work (massage, dry needling/IMS, scraping, cupping), exercise prescription, movement retraining, strength and conditioning principles, education, self-management strategies and modalities (shockwave, red light therapy/laser). Throughout my career, I’ve pursued continuing education in osteopathic principles, chiropractic-inspired manual therapy techniques, and specialized TMD assessment and treatment.

🌟Dry Needling (commonly referred to as IMS)

Dry needling is a treatment technique used to help reduce muscle tension, relieve pain, and improve mobility. Using thin, sterile needles, your practitioner targets tight muscles and trigger points to encourage relaxation and restore normal movement patterns.

Dry needling can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including muscle strains, headaches, neck and back pain, tendon injuries, and other musculoskeletal conditions.

If you have questions about dry needling or want to find out if it’s right for you, our team is here to help!

On Saturday, Brent & OJ attended the Mike Csoka Memorial Golf Tournament in support of Chilliwack Bowls of Hope. It was a wonderful day spent supporting an organization that makes such a meaningful impact in our community. Thank you to for hosting a fantastic event, and to all of the sponsors whose support helped make the day a success. ⛳️💙

We asked our team to get some content at the Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament...

They took that assignment *very* seriously. 😂⛳️

From behind-the-scenes commentary to some truly questionable athletic performances, here’s a glimpse of what happens when you send our team out of the clinic for the day. We highly recommend watching this one with the volume up.

You’re welcome.

Thank you to the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce, and local sponsors for hosting such a great event!
