CHELSEA CHUA

Chelsea Chua

Registered Physiotherapist

About Chelsea:

Chelsea is a keen kinesthetic learner, passionate about how the mind and body work together. As a physiotherapist, she strives to help people understand the puzzle that is their own body and how to make it move in the best way possible.

She loves dining out, brewing the perfect cup of pour over coffee,  playing with her cute dog Chilli, and in the summer she loves playing golf and pickleball.

Specialty

Chelsea has a clinical interest in orthopaedics and pelvic floor rehabilitation, and has taken advanced manual therapy courses through the National Orthopaedic Division and through Pelvic Health Solutions. While Chelsea is excellent in treating various sports and overuse injuries, she also loves helping the elderly and those who have been deconditioned post-hospital stay.

Experience

Chelsea completed her Bachelors in Kinesiology at UBC in 2019, and completed her Masters of Sciences in Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto in 2021. She brings experience even prior to her physical therapy training keeping the elderly population active in their care homes. Chelsea experienced first-hand how the pandemic posed challenges to the healthcare system as a student physiotherapist in the hospitals and rehabilitation facilities at the time.

After graduating, she moved back to Vancouver to work primarily in orthopaedic private practice but saw the challenges for those who had difficulty accessing private clinics.

Service Area

Chelsea is multilingual: she is able to communicate fluently in English; conversationally in Tagalog and Fukien dialect. She also possesses basic knowledge of Mandarin Chinese.
