Upcoming programs:
- Thrive While Sitting Workshop: Hosted by Marla Waal
The opposite of sitting is NOT standing, it’s movement.
In an ideal world, we would sit less and move more!
Does sitting at the computer cause you to have distracting, lower back or neck pain and have you feeling tired or irritable by the end of the day?
There’s a solution …
Join Marla to learn quick, simple, and effective ways to sit comfortably. You will feel better, breathe better, and have more energy at the end of the day!
- Seasonal Allergy Relief Workshop: Hosted by Marla Waal
For those of you who suffer from seasonal allergies…
Allergic rhinitis, or hayfever, affects 20-30% of adults and 40% of children.
These allergies make it hard to breathe and cause difficulty sleeping.
Learn simple exercises that teach you how to unblock your nose and keep it unblocked, so you can breathe easier. You can do these exercises anywhere and anytime you need relief.
With regular practice over time, you may be able to improve your overall symptoms and enjoy spring in the years to come.
Marla combines her extensive knowledge of Pilates, ELDOA™, and Buteyko Breathing to give you simple and concise exercises that you will be able to do on your own.
Do you prefer to learn 1:1? Book a private session with Marla to help you with your specific issues.

Movement is a vital component of life.
One of our core beliefs at Balance Physiotherapy is that movement helps keep us healthy and contributes to our overall happiness. Anything that stops us from moving well hinders our lifestyle and decreases our enjoyment of life.
Whether your injuries are acute or chronic, new or old, sports injuries or lifestyle-related, physiotherapy is a key component in your healing process and helps provide effective strategies to get you back moving.
The combined experience of our physiotherapists at Balance span decades; we provide high-quality healthcare and use a wide range of hands-on skills to provide simple, effective solutions. We strive to be your leading Physiotherapy clinic in Vancouver and collaborate with you in order to return you to a balanced, active lifestyle.

COVID Procedures at Balance Physio
Pre-screening – Everyone will be asked the COVID-19 wellness checklist prior to their appointment to ensure you are healthy. Any patients who do not feel well or answer yes to any questions will be asked to reschedule their appointment for a later date. If you are not feeling well for any reason we ask that you do not come into the clinic.
Additionally, patients will be asked to reschedule if in the past 14 days they have been in contact with someone who has a presumed or confirmed case of COVID-19 or any acute respiratory illness. We will also cancel our day if we have any symptoms that would put you at risk.
All patients will be asked to bring and wear a face mask during their visit. Masks will be worn by all therapists and staff during direct care. Please avoid touching your face and/or mask. If you cough or sneeze, please use your sleeve to cover your mouth and nose or use a tissue and then immediately discard it into a garbage can.
Hand sanitization stations will be available in several places within the clinic area. We suggest that you minimize your contact with high-touch surfaces such as light switches, door handles, and countertops whenever possible. There is a protective plexiglass shield at the front desk and enhanced cleaning protocols for the clinic are in place.
We ask that you arrive no more than 5 minutes prior to your appointment time.
