🏐 Supporting athletes on the international stage! 🌍

We’re proud to celebrate two of our physiotherapists who recently travelled with Team Canada Volleyball this summer.

👏 Natalie Abbate supported the U21 Women’s National Team throughout their training camp at the Richmond Olympic Oval before travelling to Columbus, Ohio, for the NORCECA U21 Women’s Pan American Cup at Ohio State University. The team had an outstanding tournament, bringing home đŸ„ˆ Silver!

👏 Kevin Valcke was back in action for his fourth year with the Women’s National Team throughout the Volleyball Nations League (VNL), supporting the team in Quebec City, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Macau. The team made history by qualifying for the VNL Finals (Final 8) for the first time in Canadian history, before falling to Turkey in the quarterfinals.

Congratulations to both teams, and to Natalie and Kevin, on these incredible accomplishments.

At the start of June, our North Vancouver clinic hosted the Running Clinic’s 1.2 Course: Treatment of Lower Limb Injuries. Practitioners (including our physiotherapists Natalie Marshall and Tomas Kavan!) explored the latest evidence-based treatment practices, practiced gym-based exercise prescriptions, reviewed case studies, and even made time for a beautiful run in the North Shore trails! A big thank you to JF and the Running Clinic for offering the course!

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our physiotherapy colleague and friend, Cathy Gordon on Monday, May 18th. Cathy is survived by her three children. After a courageous battle with cancer, she passed away surrounded by her loving family. 

Cathy was a deeply valued member of the Allan McGavin family for over 25 years, joining our team in 2001. Throughout her career, she touched the lives of countless patients, colleagues, and members of the community. She worked with provincial and national sport teams and supported athletes competing at the BC, Canadian, Pan American, Commonwealth, and Olympic Games. In the latter part of her career, she dedicated herself to caring for performing artists, becoming a trusted and passionate physiotherapist for Ballet BC and the local dance community. 

Cathy will be remembered for her sincere care and empathy for her patients, loyalty to the clinic, professionalism and leadership in elevating the patient-centered care our clinic provides. She was a mentor, colleague, and friend to many and her legacy remains at the heart of our clinic today. 

Please keep Cathy’s family, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts during this difficult time.

Ryan, Sheldon, Natalie & Tomas hosted AMSMC’s first Pickleball Injury Prevention Workshop for the members of the NSWC Racquets Society.

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 đŸ¶

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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀
