Active rehab is an evidence-based medical technique designed to facilitate recovery of soft tissue, joints, muscle, and the nervous system after injuries like car accidents. Oversight by a kinesiologist is essential to make sure clients are not only challenged appropriately, but that each movement and exercise is done precisely and efficiently. The kinesiologist will help clients set a baseline for a range of motion, flexibility and strength and help them set goals along with a treatment plan in order to most efficiently achieve these goals.


Partner Training

Sessions for existing clients who want to train with a partner. Please note you'll need to do an initial assessment first.


Video Sessions

These video sessions can be held from the comfort of your own home, or your own gym. You will need either Skype, Zoom, or Facetime and a quiet place to set up your device in front of a mat.

Fill out the intake form to let up know what equipment you have to use and we will make a fun and challenging exercise session for you to keep moving.


Aquatic Therapy

Pool or aquatic therapy is an approach to active rehabilitation that takes place in the water under the supervision of a kinesiologist. Water opposes the force of gravity opening up the opportunity to reap the benefits of active rehab to those with difficulties exercising on land. The ability to swim is not required to participate in aquatic therapy. Exercises are performed in chest deep water ... Read More

Pool or aquatic therapy is an approach to active rehabilitation that takes place in the water under the supervision of a kinesiologist. Water opposes the force of gravity opening up the opportunity to reap the benefits of active rehab to those with difficulties exercising on land. The ability to swim is not required to participate in aquatic therapy. Exercises are performed in chest deep water while standing or in deep water with a floatation belt. At Symmetrix Exercise and Rehab we employ our background in kinesiology to apply a science-based approach to exercise rehab.

As of January 2024, I am back from maternity leave and excited to welcome new assessments into my schedule!

I have been a practicing kinesiologist since graduating from UBC Kinesiology in 2011. I was drawn to the kinesiology program as a lifelong recreational athlete, enjoying running, volleyball, basketball, softball, and soccer in my youth. Born and raised in the lower mainland, I love everything our province has to offer for all levels of skill and competitiveness.

Upon being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in university, I found myself drawn towards helping others with chronic conditions and chronic pain navigate the healthcare system and their best life. The ability to return to recreational activities in a way that feels safe and meaningful is such an important part of our healing journeys.

I have three young children and love helping other parents through their pre and post-natal journey. Our bodies have an innate and remarkable capacity for healing, and helping guide other folks through their process drives me to be the best kinesiologist I can be.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you feel your best!

Patrik spent most of his time growing up playing different sports including basketball and tennis. He decided to pursue exercise and rehabilitation sciences after he overcame multiple injuries and limiting conditions, and after he discovered his ability and passion in helping others in similar situations.

Patrik puts health and well-being among the top priorities in his life and he believes in leading by example. He believes that his role is to be an educator in his clients’ lives and he brings in his authenticity, honesty, empathy and knowledge to grow and improve their lifestyles, rather than putting a bandaid on problems.
