Before returning to his Vancouver roots, Dr. Bernard worked as an associate Chiropractor at the renowned “OC Fight Docs” in Southern California where he worked with a wide range of patients from children and seniors, to professional athletes and Hollywood stars (UFC, Bellator, NFL, CFL, NHL, NLL, NCAA, and Olympic level). Dr. Bernard became interested in sports therapy from a young age having to rehabilitate through numerous knee and ankle injuries sustained while playing lacrosse.

This experience led him to pursue his Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology, with a concentration in Active Health and Rehabilitation from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia. He then went on to complete his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic West Campus in San Jose, California.

Specializing in soft tissue therapies and individualized corrective exercises, Dr. Bernard uses a wide variety of techniques to maximize optimal function and performance: instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), Active Release Technique (ART), chiropractic adjustments/joint mobilizations, percussion therapy, cupping, and functional movement-based screenings to identify biomechanical dysfunctions.

Striving to create the most educational and evidence-based approach to his care, Dr. Bernard is constantly furthering his skills with post-graduate certifications. He is currently a certified Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist (FRCms), a Functional Movement Techniques Rocktape Medical Professional, and a Full-Body Certified A.R.T.© provider. He is also a course instructor for HawkGrips – the premier company in instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM).

Dr. Ali Ravji obtained his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Simon Fraser University (SFU). His experience with Chiropractic began after sustaining a shoulder injury in undergrad that led him to obtain his Doctor of Chiropractic at the prestigious Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in Toronto, Ontario. He then went on to work with MSK Health & Performance upon graduation, while being mentored by the chiropractor for the Vancouver Canucks.

His interests lies in assessing, diagnosing and improving human movement. He uses a unique combination of manual therapy and integrates it with various soft tissue techniques and rehabilitative/corrective exercises. He uses a hand on approach to help release tight muscles/joints with techniques such as Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), Myofascial Release Therapy, Cupping therapy, spinal manipulation/mobilization  and Percussion Therapy. He also has certifications in Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist (FRCms), Athletic Movement Assessment (AMA), Functional Release (FR), and Fascial Distortion Model (FDM).
