Vision: With a holistic point of view to our body’s structure, function and adaptability, Mohsen believes in the self-healing and self-regulating power of the human body. “I think when our body cannot adjust itself to above-threshold musculoskeletal demands, it becomes “derailed”, and what I have to do is bring it back in to its natural healthy “rail” through osteopathic manual readjustment and soft tissue regulatory techniques and let the bodies natural healing take care of the remainder. In this journey, I believe in a teamwork principle and using other profession’s capacities to help the body’s self-healing power.” Education: Due to Mohsen’s enthusiastic willingness to relieve people’s pain and discomfort, he decided to study Physiotherapy in Shiraz, Iran. After graduating with a Bachelor in Physiotherapy his history and interest in various sports such as Karate, football, wrestling and body-building drove him to achieve a Master of Sport Physiotherapy course (MSc) with focus on manual therapy. While working in different positions as a Sport and Orthopedic physiotherapist, he succeeded to pass his Transitional Doctor of Physiotherapy (DPT). After seven years of experience in rehabilitation and treatment of various Sport, Chronic Pain and Orthopedic conditions he found the missing piece of his practice puzzle; Manual Osteopathy. He deep heartedly believes that Osteopathic manual therapy is potentially capable to play one of the most important roles in both our general health and specific musculoskeletal issues. Professional Experiences and Achievements: Registered Osteopathic Manual Practitioner (ROMP / RMO) in Limelight Wellness Clinic in Vancouver, B.C. Chief Physiotherapist in Baran Manual Osteopathy and Physiotherapy Institute, Dr Farahmandfar and Besat Hospitals, and Fars Sport Medicine Association. Cooperated with the first academic manual therapy clinic in the School of Rehabilitation Sciences in Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Leisure time activities: In his free time he enjoys time with his family, walking, cycling, camping, playing football, volleyball, and other group entertainment and exciting activities. Practice Focus: Mohsen enjoys working with highly challenging musculoskeletal and chronic pain problems; this part of his personality is always encouraging him to stay up-to-date on the latest theoretical and practical knowledge and studying new therapeutic techniques and applying them to his clients.

Born and raised on Vancouver Island, Cody has been living in Victoria for over a decade since he moved to the city to complete his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology at the University of Victoria. Following his studies at UVic, he spent time working in his new Kinesiology field running exercise and recreation programs specialized for seniors both in the community and at care facilities. This work gave Cody valuable experience working with a wide range of abilities and varying chronic conditions of the human body, eventually leading him to seek further training in the field. The end result was him completing a Masters in Physiotherapy at the University of British Columbia in 2020.

A lifelong athlete, Cody has participated in many different sports growing up, from hockey, lacrosse, and rugby, to his ultimate passion of Olympic wrestling. Battling his own injuries during these times, he understands the drive to get back to the activities we love. Whether it’s athletics or just working towards improving function in your activities of daily living, he’s developed a passion for helping other people navigate and improve their physical functioning for their own specific goals.

Cody’s practice and treatment style is centred around empowering clients by approaching each person specific to their own unique situation, goals, and motivations. Client participation is a key aspect of his treatment, as he believes in an approach that focuses on the best available research and evidence in exercise and education in conjunction with his interest in manual therapy and other modalities. The result is a client centred approach to developing a treatment plan that builds self-efficacy and works towards maximizing function at all ability levels.

Outside of the clinic, Cody has shifted his own recreational and sport interests to spending time in the great outdoors that Vancouver Island has to offer. Combining his love of the outdoors with a passion for travel, he has travelled to various parts of the world for long distance trekking such as Nepal for Mt Everest’s base camp, India’s Himalayan mountains, and Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia. Trail running, hiking, kayaking, snowboarding and other various water and mountain sports are where you will likely find him most of the time locally!

Holly understands first-hand the difference Physiotherapy can make in a patient’s life. She competed internationally on Team Canada as a high jumper for several years but struggled with injuries throughout her athletic pursuits. When she retired from competition, she focused her energy on becoming a Physiotherapist. Holly completed her Master’s degree in Physiotherapy at UBC and wishing to enhance her academic foundation further, continued to complete her Doctorate in Physical Therapy.

Holly recognizes that her patients may benefit from different forms of treatment and has focused her postgraduate work on ensuring a comprehensive, well-rounded repertoire of treatment for those suffering from orthopedic injuries. She uses a combination of techniques rich in manual and manipulative therapy, including symptom modification, trigger point release, shockwave therapy, functional dry needling (IMS) as well as client education and individualized exercise programs to achieve client goals. She firmly believes in treating not only patient symptoms but also the source of pain to ensure long-term relief for her patients.

Prior to her physiotherapy degrees, Holly graduated Summa Cum Laude with a B.Sc. in Kinesiology and a B.Sc. in Psychology, accompanied by a minor in French.

When not working in the clinic, Holly can be found taking advantage of our beautiful outdoor playground: she skis, plays volleyball, softball, and explores the trails with her dog.
