About

Mike Wong

Originally from Hong Kong, Mike Wong moved to Vancouver, BC, as a young child. Being active in sports and developing an interest in injury treatment and prevention, he was determined to become a Physiotherapist from high school. Through injuries and managing other health conditions, Mike was exposed to the rich history and effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and has always appreciated the value of their principles and techniques. He has found many of these techniques complementary to Physiotherapy to enhance one’s health.

Mike Wong holds a Bachelor of Human Kinetics specializing in Exercise Science from UBC and a Masters of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta. He continued to pursue post graduate education in advanced Manual Therapy at Curtin University in Perth, Australia from renowned instructors in their field. His interest in acupuncture encouraged him to study and become certified through the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute (now Acupuncture Canada). He continued his studies in Dry Needling/IMS with Dr. Yun-Tao Ma and Scalp Acupuncture treatment techniques with Dr. Jishun Hao, both internationally respected clinicians and instructors in their field.

Mike is a Registered Physiotherapist in Burnaby in good standing with CPTBC. He is a well rounded Physiotherapist who has worked in a variety of health care settings that allows him to appreciate and understand the journey and complexity of rehabilitation. Early in his career he has helped clients at Richmond Hospital in the medical units/ICU, achieving recovery goals for safe home discharge and improving their independence. Further, Mike continued to provide injury management and treatment for complex cases in Occupational Rehabilitation programs (OR) settings for work-related injuries.

He has worked in a range of physiotherapy clinics across the Lower Mainland, including Richmond, Coquitlam, Burnaby, and Vancouver, learning from experienced clinicians and colleagues alike. He has gained diverse experience that allows him to provide the highest quality care for his clients.

Mike has been a lifesaver with my pickleball knee injury! He always make me feel supported and motivated, and the progress has been amazing. Avi’s massage treatments are next level too! Couldn’t ask for a better team

Mike and team run such a great operation here at EastWest Physiotherapy. You can tell that Mike truly cares about his work and his clients. I’ve been here to “fix” my tennis elbow as well as random strains after long runs and I come back feeling stronger. Thank you so much!

Elizabeth is an amazing physiotherapist and has helped me recover quickly from a number of hip, back and neck issues over the years. Her mix of conventional physiotherapy techniques and exercises, along with acupuncture and cupping, have greatly contributed to an improvement in my health.

- Amanda K

Elizabeth is very knowledgeable in Western physiotherapy and traditional Chinese healing techniques. She uses the combination of both to help me with my migraines and muscle pain. It has been effective and life-changing. She is also an empathetic listener and it means a lot to me as a regular client. I highly recommend her!

- Trina Tam

I’ve been seeing Elizabeth for a couple of months now to rehabilitate some old running injuries and she has been nothing but kind, patient, and persistent. Going from a physio practice where my appointment time is shared with multiple patients to 1:1 treatment has been night and day. The variety of techniques she uses has been super effective, along with strengthening/maintenance recommendations. I was referred to her by family members and plan on recommending anyone else I know to go see her!
