Jeremy finds tremendous satisfaction in solving individual, injury-related problems with solutions based on mechanics, strength, and pain science, and knows that it can also highlight a person’s confidence and physical abilities they may not have known they had.
Jeremy has been passionate about movement and mechanics for most of his life. In his early days this manifested through maximizing his own athletic performance, peaking with swimming for the UVic Vikes swim team while he completed his Kinesiology degree. Nowadays, this passion is expressed through training multiple different sports and optimizing his practice as a Physiotherapist.
In his spare time, he can be found training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, playing squash, in the weight room, or out somewhere running on a trail. Some recent athletic accomplishments include: Ironman Victoria, Ironman Whistler, and the Grizzly Ultra 50k with his awesome friend and brother.

Breanna Yaeger
Administrative Assistant
Although Breanna grew up in the prairies, she always felt a pull towards the ocean, so it was only natural she ended up on Vancouver Island. She is nearly finished her certificate in the Human Dimensions of Climate Change at UVic and is keen to be working with a certified green clinic. With an environmentalist background, she is always looking to educate people and continue increasing her own knowledge.
As a former athlete, she is quite well acquainted with physiotherapy practices and the importance of maintaining one’s physical and mental health.
When not at the clinic, she’s likely off fermenting various foods or mixing a new kombucha combo. Recently, Breanna has gotten into propagating various types of plants. And much like other prairie transplants, she enjoys being outdoors and hiking on her days off, enjoying a more diverse landscape.

Chris Lamb
Registered Physiotherapist
MPT, BScKin, Active Rehabilitation, Persistent Pain/Injury Recovery
Meet Chris, a man of many interests that keep him busy. He loves to sing, play the piano, juggle, ride his bike, weight-train, practice tai chi, read, write, spend time at the beach, and do brain games.
Chris has been a registered physiotherapist since 2006 and has a broad array of experience working with people with orthopaedic and neurological conditions. He utilizes knowledge from the growing fields of neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to rewire throughout life based on experience) and pain science to optimize recovery. He is particularly interested in helping people rehabilitate from complex and/or long-standing pain/injuries, and strongly believes that in many cases a full recovery is possible.
Chris’ treatments are individually tailored, but they generally include: normalizing sensation in the area(s) of pain/dysfunction, movement re-training, specific guidance about how to safely increase exercise/activity level, mindfulness training, providing education, and using a variety of methods to reestablish a healthy mind-body connection. His therapeutic approach offers limited hands-on therapy.

Zoe
Clinic Companion
Greeter, Stress Reduction Specialist, Treat Connoisseur
Zoe is our clinic greeter and mascot. She tells us she’s studying to be a certified therapy dog, but we don’t know how well it’s going—she gets a little bit distracted saying hi to our clients and other dogs that walk by the clinic. She does pour over her textbooks every night (literally, she slops water and drops chew toys on the pages) but hey, she tries her best.
Zoe is also a yoga enthusiast, but she is more of a yoga-as-you-go kind of girl. She performs upwards of 100 downward dog poses per day, so you’ll likely catch a glimpse of her practicing at the clinic.
