We met in the most obvious way, at a gym, putting our kinesiology degrees to good use. But it was outside work where we bonded, over good food, good spirits and in good company that ultimately led to the "forging" of our vision to create Forge Health. The rest is history still in the making. Early on, we quickly learned two truths.
Forge Physiotherapy offers tried and true diagnostic and treatment techniques which aims to not only alleviate pain and disfunction but to find and treat the underlying root of the injury. Whether you're looking to recover from a motor vehicle accident, bounce back from an injury, or fix nagging aches and pains, our expert physiotherapists are armed with the knowledge and expertise to help you lead a better life.
In collaboration with your team of Forge therapists, our registered Kinesiologists will work with you to help you recover by empowering you to combat your injuries through movement and exercise based techniques.
Your Kinesiologist will educate you on effective pain management strategies while teaching you your own customized exercise program that will be designed around your specific injuries, goals and level of experience to give you the tools and the confidence needed for optimal healing.

Healing is an ever-evolving process that helps us reach wellness by discovering our whole selves and making space for the physical, mental and emotional parts of us that we have deemed broken and defective. But you don't have to be alone in that journey. We approach counselling from a holistic perspective, recognizing the inseparable connection between the mind and body and that true healing naturally takes place when they work in tandem.

Li Chu ( Acupuncture ): 5 out of 5, made me overcome the fear of needles and informative even though she came from Shanghai, China. I was basically almost a month painless & stiff-less until this week flare up happened.
Now I'm a turtle on lots of meds.
Kris McCrea ( Kinesiology ): 5 out of 5, It seemed slow at the start because he was trying improve my mobility from being a Turtle to a Chimpanzee. Afterwards, he pushes you to the max.
Jon Khan ( RMT ): The massage wasn't a thing for me since It didn't feel productive.
**Update after a month of flareups:
Acupuncture definitely feels like a

I had carpal tunnel surgery on the right wrist and nine days later had rotator cuff surgery on the right shoulder. I'm glad I found Gillian to help me recover from these surgeries. She is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. She set simple and effective exercises each visit to reach our goal. Now I have full mobility of my right wrist and right shoulder. Thank you Gillian.

Gillian Corbo has been amazing. Just when I thought after years of rehab for my long-term shoulder and knee pains that I've seen most of the tricks most therapists could come up with, Gillian was able to diagnose the precise issues I've been having almost instantly .
And being a human anatomy teacher at UBC, she really surprised me with her depth of knowledge and her creative and unique combination of rehab exercises.
I asked her to showed me in her text book the reasons behind the pain and stiffness I'm having to help me understand my own injury and she did an amazing job explaining what's been

I started seeing Gillian Corbo a few months ago after getting rear ended. She has been nothing but amazing - extremely knowledgeable and intent on finding the best treatment to target my issues (and there were/are many!) Gillian is passionate about her work and about human anatomy and very engaged in the continuous seeking of knowledge in order to help her patients. She spends time listening to her clients’ concerns and is thoughtful in her suggestions for exercises in between sessions. I have definitely benefitted from her knowledge - and absolutely appreciate that I can ask the most basic of

Huge thank you to everyone at the forge health rehab clinic. Especially Gillian, Morgan , Lawrence, and Jon, they have all been amazing, and have helped me out so much with my rehabilitation. They also have a team in the back office who help book and take care of all your appointments. From the premium service, attention to detail that the staff provide, it truly feels like its the best rehab clinic, so thank you.

I had a wonderful experience with Forge Health. I came in with a long-time shoulder injury and I honestly had very little hope that it could be improved. Thanks to Gillian, not only did she find the likely source of the issue (it was not a common area), she provided me with simple and effective exercises that have practically resolved my pain and mobility constraints. Thank you so much Gillian! I also really appreciated her dedication in educating me how the joints work; it made the recovery process so much easier for me.

I can't say enough great things about Forge! I've never experienced such incredible client service at any health clinic. They are so accomodating and go above and beyond to ensure the treatments are easy to access. I feel completely taken care of by the full team of staff that I work with, from the kinesiologists, physiotherapists and massage therapists to the reception and administrative team. I would never want to go elsewhere!

Love the physio treatments I've been getting with Gillian. She's very knowledgeable and is such a friendly and lively person. It's refreshing when you feel positive energy from practitioners you work with. I've had chronic pain for a year and have seen multiple different people to address my condition....finally feeling like progress is happening. I highly recommend Forge! The system they use for bookings makes it super easy and streamline before visits.. love them!

Pretty good place to go if you are looking to book a physio appointment in Burnaby! I wasn't sure what to do when I started feeling prolonged pain in my wrists -- it might have been from my work outs, or from the continuous strain from my desk job. I went online and made an appointment with Maria and it was only a few weeks from the time of booking. Forge is located right beside the parking lot for Revs, but they have their own designated area. You have to go in and get a parking pass first, or else you will get a ticket! Maria was very friendly and explained everything when I asked questions
