Chiropractic


Registered Massage Therapy

Alexis Penner, RMT By creating a foundation of relaxation and a strong mind-body connection, I strive to help to bring the body back to its natural state of wellness.

Looking at the body as a whole, I address areas of dysfunction, pain and injury through a variety of techniques, working within your comfort level, which include:

-myofascial manipulation

-deep tissue

-breath work

-relaxation/stress reduction

-orthopedic technique

-manual stretching

-postural, mechanical and proprioceptive rehabilitation

As someone who has experienced a multitude of injuries, from a serious car accident to repetitive stress injuries that come with living an active lifestyle, I have seen the benefits of manual therapy, and integrated home care. It is my intention to facilitate your growth to your most optimal, functional self.

Outside of work, you can find me outside, usually in the mountains; whether it be hiking, trail running or mountain-biking. I have been enchanted by the beauty and lifestyle North Vancouver holds and I am filled with gratitude that I get to call this place home.

CANCELLATION POLICY: Your appointment time has been reserved just for you and although things can come up that may inhibit you from attending, missed appointments or those cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged the full appointment fee.

In 1983 I began my Chiropractic education because I had always experienced remarkable results from outstanding chiropractors for sports injuries, neck pain, back pain and sciatica. I continue to receive regular spine and sports chiropractic care that helps give me longevity in a physical profession. I completed my Doctorate of Chiropractic degree in 1987 and immediately experienced success with the model of spine and sports injury care for patient’s presenting with a wide range of conditions. The detailed knowledge of the entire nervous and musculoskeletal systems combined with integrating the art and science of spinal and joint manipulation has provided me with an extremely rewarding career as a sports injury and family chiropractor. I have pursued extensive post-graduate training in sports-injury care and soft-tissue rehabilitation with Active Release Technique (ART) since 2001. I became an ART Instructor in 2006 and teaching ART to chiropractors, massage therapists and physiotherapists has became a very rewarding experience.These additional tools and techniques are instrumental in being a comprehensive team chiropractor/trainer and clinician. I have worked with men’s and women’s soccer teams, dancers, gymnasts, track and field, triathletes and runners of all types; from amateur to highly competitive athletes and professionals as well as musicians and workers who suffer repetitive strain injuries. I also enjoy public speaking and have guest-lectured on topics which include running injuries, gait biomechanics, healthy aging, inflammation and exercise as well as promoting fitness and optimal training methods for North Shore Athletics and the Running room.
