ASHLEY WONG, Kinesiologist
I grew up as an active individual playing different sports (mostly volleyball, basketball, & ultimate) which unfortunately left me with different injuries. It wasn’t until I got my most severe injury, sciatica, where I really began to take my healing journey seriously. Through kinesiology-led training and rehabilitation across multiple therapists, I quickly fell in love with “the scientific why” behind doing certain movements and the relief manual therapy provided. I just knew I had to help others in the same way.
My love for “the why” and desire to get to the bottom of peoples’ pain and goals in the multidimensional sphere of health sent me on a long education journey to where I am today with certification such as:
Bachelor of Kinesiology, UBC
Sport Science Diploma, Douglas College
Fascial Stretch Therapy 1, Stretch to Win
Certified Personal Trainer, NASM
Nutrition Coach Certification, Pn1
In my experience as a student coach for UBC Varsity, personal trainer, and volunteer physiotherapy assistant at Eagle Ridge Hospital care home, I’ve been able to work with patients of all ages and backgrounds. I truly believe exercise is one of the best medicines. With this said, I’m dedicated to keep up with the latest research in exercise science so I can comprehensively meet the physical health needs of my clients and beyond.
When I’m not at the gym or clinic, you can find me creating content, shopping for clothes, petting the nearest dog, hanging with friends, or drinking a London Fog!
