We are a physiotherapy clinic located in North Vancouver, BC, dedicated to improving the quality of life for our patients through reduced pain and increased mobility. Our clinic specializes in manual therapy. Our approach to manual therapy is different. We do not practice thrust manipulation, typically referred to as "chiropractic".
We conduct repeated joint mobilization using sustained pressure to gradually reduce soft tissue restriction and increase joint movement. Time is given between mobilizations to allow the gradually increasing circulation and nerve conduction to have its effect softening the surrounding tissues. Our mobilization is easily "graduated" or varied to match the patient and the pathology, or sensitivity of the tissue.

I had tried a number of physios, massage therapists & chiropractors to help me with my back pain & help me become pain free. Nothing was working & then a friend of mine recommended Align & after 3 sessions I was fixed! I love Paul and his team & his clinic is my number one choice to refer my personal training clients to as well.

I had such a great experience here. Paul is so knowledgeable and has such a caring demeanor. I was visiting from Los Angeles, where I've worked with and referred lots of specialists in my circle as a yoga instructor. This facility is one of the best I've worked with, hands down. I've had chronic over use issues in my neck and shoulders that I felt relief from in one session. Don't just take my word for it, experience it yourself. When it comes to your body and being in pain, it's frustrating to waste time, effort and money on no results and feeling like a number.

Paul came highly recommended through many people at work so I saw him regarding a torn rotator cuff. He and Matt both spent time working on it using their slow release approach. Paul started pressing on my lower back saying it was out of alignment yet I have never ever had lower back pain in my life. Besides, I was there for my shoulder. He pressed so much that it had spasmed causing excruciating tightness and pain from my lower back down my entire leg! I explained this to him the following visit hoping he could fix it but he completely ignored my concerns. When I asked about seeing a massage therapist

I was in an awful car accident and for 2 years i dealt with a doctor trying to trick me into antidepressants, X-rays telling me there's nothing out of place, and physiotherapists giving me exercises that did not give me results.
I was in constant pain, shooting pains, heart aches, etc and I was referred to Gordon Stokes.
He was amazing! He actually discovered the exact injuries in one sitting and he worked with his hands to put everything back in place. With about 10 sessions he fixed me!
It is pricey for the 10 min you get with him but in the end you see results.
