She has experience in working with children with various injuries and conditions, from babies to teenagers.

Using her post-graduate education and certifications, Silvana has helped rehabilitate a great variety of injuries, ranging from musculoskeletal injuries to concussions. Silvana loves working with babies and children with complex disorders, and has experience with neurological conditions, torticollis and plagiocephaly, developmental delay and congenital conditions. Silvana has taken extended education courses to ensure she has the skills required to treat the many conditions experienced by children of all ages. Prior to opening the City Square location, Silvana was also the Clinical Director of our Vancouver clinic, working to ensure our clinic ran smoothly and could provide the best care possible to our clients.  In her spare time, Silvana enjoys staying active in any way she can, and particularly likes yoga, rock climbing, running, and hiking.
