Motion Theory is a short walk east of Kitsilano on West Broadway. Runners, lifters, cyclists, surfers, and active families in Kits get a structured rehab approach built for real return to activity, not just symptom relief.
Built for active Kitsilano life
Kits is a neighbourhood of runners, paddlers, beach volleyball players, and people who train. The patients we see from Kitsilano are usually trying to get back to something specific, a half marathon, a cycling season, a return to surfing or to picking up their kids without pain. Our rehab is built for that, not for symptom management.

The clinic is a 10 minute drive from Kits Beach, a short bus ride on the 9 or 99, and walking distance from the eastern edge of Kitsilano. Easy to fit around your day, your training, or your kids' schedules.
