About Kia Taeb

Kia grew up in Vancouver and quickly discovered his love of alpine and competitive team
sports. This developed into a passion to learn about anatomy and physiology due to personal injuries. He was keen to help others with acute and chronic pain and provide them the path to get back to doing the things they love. After a surgery that side-lined him from playing sports, he began a program that facilitated UBC students to play soccer competitively which eventually led to a partnership with UBC men’s varsity soccer team and the development of young athletes for over a decade.

Kia received his bachelor of Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia at which point he worked at a gym with clientele for the past 14 years to provide them the tools to manage stress, fix injuries, increase their strength in a functional way, and eventually to create methods for injury prevention and a healthy lifestyle.

During this time, Kia was introduced to osteopathy which really spoke to his values and interest of the interconnections of the human body. The 5-year program provided Kia a much wider scope to help his clientele with more complicated injuries. His treatments are focused on dealing with the root cause of a patients issue rather than just their symptoms.
