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 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.

With over a decade of experience in fitness, movement science, and rehabilitation, Samira is a kinesiologist who blends her expertise in Architectural Engineering and Kinesiology to help clients move, perform, and live better. She specializes in postural alignment, movement efficiency, and lifestyle-based approaches, recognizing how daily habits impact long-term health. Samira’s journey began with a passion for both art and math, leading her to a career in Architectural Engineering. However, after discovering the transformative power of movement in her early 20s, she transitioned into personal training and group instruction—developing a deep understanding of strength training, rehabilitation, and movement coaching. This passion led her to earn a degree in Kinesiology, allowing her to bridge biomechanics, exercise science, and rehabilitation in her practice. Her approach is deeply influenced by her own experiences with injuries. After sustaining a knee injury and later experiencing back injuries from a car accident, she went through the challenges of rehabilitation firsthand. She understands the physical and mental barriers that come with pain, recovery, and fear of movement. More recently, she overcame her own fear of falling by taking up indoor climbing, proving to herself that movement is not just about strength but also about confidence and adaptability. Samira believes that how we move in everyday life—our posture, work habits, and movement patterns—shapes our long-term well-being. She helps clients improve alignment, mobility, and functional strength, empowering them to move pain-free and build sustainable habits for lifelong health. Drawing from her architectural background, she also considers how environments influence movement, optimizing workspaces, exercise spaces, and daily routines to enhance physical well-being. Her practice is ideal for anyone looking to improve posture, prevent injuries, restore movement, or enhance performance. Whether working with athletes, professionals, or individuals recovering from injuries, Samira provides a holistic, evidence-based approach to movement and rehabilitation. Her favorite activities include yoga, boxing, powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, and indoor climbing, reflecting her well-rounded philosophy of movement and strength.

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!

Coach and kinesiologist helping clients overcome setbacks, build resilience, and move better through a holistic, evidence-based approach. A firm believer in leading by example, Patrik prioritizes health, longevity, and well-being in his own life. He sees his role as an educator and coach, guiding clients toward long-term solutions rather than quick fixes. His approach extends beyond physical training—he helps clients overcome mental plateaus, build resilience, and address lifestyle habits that impact recovery and performance. Through honesty, authenticity, and empathy, he empowers individuals to break free from limiting patterns, take ownership of their health, and grow from within.

Patrik holds a Master’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia, specializing in clinical kinesiology and high-performance coaching. He is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), further reinforcing his expertise in performance training and rehabilitation. During his time at UBC, he worked as a Strength & Conditioning Student Assistant and Student Athletic Trainer with various teams, gaining diverse experience across athletic populations.

His approach is holistic, evidence-based, and client-centered, integrating biomechanics, exercise physiology, psychology, and social factors to create personalized interventions. He understands that underperformance, plateaus, and slow recovery are rarely just physical issues—they are deeply influenced by stress, mindset, sleep, nutrition, and daily movement habits. By addressing these psycho-social factors, Patrik helps clients unlock their full potential, build resilience, and optimize recovery through intelligent programming, lifestyle adjustments, and a growth-oriented mindset.

Outside of work, Patrik thrives on movement and adventure. His top three activities are climbing, weightlifting, and yoga, but he feels most at home in the mountains—embracing constant learning and self-exploration as he practices what he preaches.
