Oh, what a month for Tyler Dumont!

Physiomoves Physiotherapy Clinic Director Tyler Dumont is having a February to remember!!! As you've seen from our website, he held the esteemed honour of being selected to represent the UBC Dept of Physical Therapy during the 2010 Olympic Torch Run on Feb. 10, 2010. It was an overwhelming, exhilarating experience, and Tyler was so grateful to see so many patients, students, colleagues, family and friends there to cheer him on.


On Feb. 12th Tyler was asked to come to local school Cambridge Elementary to participate in their Opening Ceremonies. He ran in with the Torch and happily answered questions from the excited students. Afterwards he attended his son's Kindergarten class to let the kids hold the torch.



Feb 13th marks Tyler's first shift on the Host Medical Team at Canada Hockey Place. For the next 2 weeks, Tyler will be rinkside as men and women from around the globe compete in Olympic hockey. When he's not at hockey, Tyler will be busy at the clinic treating clients with the rest of the fabulous Physiomoves team.

Be watching on TV starting Feb. 16th as Tyler makes his national television debut! He will be part of a commercial promoting Physiotherapy c/o the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. Tyler was asked to be a part of the commercial along with other Physiotherapy colleagues- can't wait to see it!

We're also anticipating the imminent arrival of a new Dumont. Tyler and his wife are expecting their 3rd child any time now. Stay tuned for that exciting news as well!

What are we up to in early 2010?

2010 is well underway, and Physiomoves is excited about great things happening in and around our clinic and community. We have a couple of new faces- welcome Paige (part-time reception) and Johnny Yiu, our most recent Physiotherapist to join the team. Johnny will be working full time starting in February; his complete bio and photo are posted on our website (www.physiomoves.com). We say farewell to Krystie in February and wish her well in her future endeavours.

Clinic Director Tyler Dumont will be carrying the Olympic torch on Feb. 10 in North Vancouver at ~3:10pm along Grand Boulevard West between 15-17th streets. Come cheer him on or follow coverage live on the web via http://www.ctvolympics.ca/torch/follow-torch/index.html

Tyler is providing occasional therapy coverage for the Surrey Eagles Junior A Hockey Team until the end of their season. He is also continuing to lead mini-workshops for local running and cycling groups (e.g. the Running Room and Team in training). He has attended some great courses recently on advancements in therapy for shoulders and ankles.

Jody, Kristen and Johnny are all continuing their education by completing Orthopaedic division advanced manual therapy courses. These are intense courses, but our Physiotherapists strive to give the most current, advanced treatment possible to our clients. See their website bios for more details.

Barry, our fulltime massage therapist, recently completed the SportMedBC Athlete Functional Assessment course.

We look forward to helping you "move your body better" in 2010! Please call us (604-575-7477) if you have any questions or would like to book an appointment with one of our fabulous therapists. See you soon!
