Spencer Der, PHYSIOTHERAPIST
Spencer completed his Master of Physiotherapy at the University of Sydney following a Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia. He has extensive experience in the rehabilitation industry as a Kinesiologist, an Athletic Trainer, and a Physiotherapist. He has treated athletes, pre/post operative surgery patients, spinal cord injury patients, stroke patients, and more. He is particularly interested in neck and vestibular conditions.
After overcoming some of his own sports-injuries incurred during his youth through rugby and soccer, Spencer found his passion in helping others heal so that they can return to the activities they enjoy. He believes in a thorough full body assessment while creating dynamic earnest person-to-person relationships to effectively guide you through your rehabilitation journey.
You can expect that a comprehensive session with Spencer will include a mixture of education, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercise all while you continue to keep up with the activities you love.
