Joanna Ball, MSc. PT, BSc.

Are you experiencing chronic pain? Have you tried the conventional medicine approach but had little success? Are you looking for a practitioner who uses a combination of western and eastern interventions for a more holistic approach to care?

Joanna moved to Vancouver to practice physiotherapy after completing an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Therapy in the U.S. followed by a Master of Science degree in Physiotherapy in Ontario. She has since pursued various continuing education courses to further her skills in the assessment and treatment of orthopedic injuries, as well as to explore the mind-body connection to healing. Wanting to provide her clients with a more holistic approach, she became certified in Bio-Energy Healing, a therapy that facilitates the body's natural healing process. It works by freeing blocks in the body’s energetic system to help improve the mental, physical and emotional aspects of chronic pain. Joanna integrates Bio-Energy Healing into her physio practice as needed, along with traditional interventions such as manual therapy, rehabilitative exercise, therapeutic taping, modalities and client education/coaching to create her own unique style of care addressing the whole person; body, mind and spirit. Known for her gentle, approachable nature, Joanna loves helping her clients break through barriers to achieve new levels of well-being.

Joanna believes that our bodies all have the ability to heal,
and enjoys helping her clients realize this potential.

Joanna provides One-on-one care for the entire session.

Physio may include any combination of interventions including education/coaching, manual therapy for joints and soft tissues, thermal and electrical modalities, therapeutic taping, and specific rehabilitative exercises to improve strength, endurance, flexibility, balance/proprioception, muscle imbalances and/or postural dysfunctions. 25-minute treatments include physio interventions only, 55-minute treatments may also include bio-energy healing if recommended by Joanna and desired by the client. Bio-energy healing works by freeing blocks in the body’s energetic system to facilitate the body’s natural healing process, which helps improve the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of painful conditions.
