Gurinder graduated Physiotherapy from UBC in 2012, fulfilling a lifelong dream he envisioned at age 13.

He was a young athlete who seemingly spent more time sidelined than on the field due to injuries. Gurinder sought change and desperately desired control over his pain and health.

This sparked a keen interest and passion for the human body and performance that has grown. Fast-forward a couple of decades and Gurinder is fulfilling a new dream by opening River District Physio.

The motivation behind wanting to open a clinic was simple: to have a larger reach, redefine what quality rehab looks like and to hopefully inspire people along the way.
