James brings a powerful combination of academic excellence, hands-on experience, and a genuine passion for movement to the team. He holds a Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia and a Master of Physiotherapy Studies from the University of Queensland, where he developed a deep foundation in evidence-based rehab and performance care.
With a strong focus on musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain, James has worked extensively as both a kinesiologist and personal trainer. He’s helped a diverse range of clients—from athletes and motor vehicle accident survivors to those recovering from workplace injuries—regain strength, mobility, and confidence.
James is highly trained in both exercise programming and manual therapy, and his treatment style reflects a balanced, individualized approach. Clients can expect an active and collaborative rehab experience that includes targeted exercises, hands-on manual techniques (like soft tissue and joint mobilization), and a strong emphasis on education and empowerment. His ultimate goal? Not just recovery—but helping clients come back stronger and perform at a higher level than before.
Growing up, James played competitive sports, including inline hockey, basketball, track & field, and golf. His experience as an athlete gives him unique insight into the return-to-sport journey—he understands firsthand the physical and mental challenges that come with injury, and what it truly takes to return to peak performance. This perspective fuels his approach with every client, especially those striving to get back in the game.
Originally from South Korea and raised in the Tri-Cities and Maple Ridge, James continues to live an active lifestyle. Outside the clinic, you'll find him on the golf course, shooting hoops, snowboarding, hiking, or strength training at the gym.

What to Expect Your session is all about understanding your unique story. We will begin with a thorough conversation regarding your progress, any changes, as well as improvements noted. Depending on your comfort level, the physical evaluation may include: Postural & Movement Screen: Assessing how your back, hips, and abdomen move together. External/Internal Exam: To accurately assess muscle strength, relaxation, and coordination, an internal exam is often the "gold standard." However, this is always performed with your explicit consent and can be deferred or modified at any time. How to Prepare What to Wear: Please wear comfortable, stretchy clothing (like gym gear or leggings) that allows you to move freely. Your Comfort is Priority: You are always in control of the session. We can stop, pause, or change the approach whenever you need. Communication: No topic is "too TMI" here. Whether it's bladder/bowel habits, pelvic pain, or postpartum recovery, we are here to listen without judgment.

A 60-minute Physiotherapy Initial Assessment is designed to thoroughly understand your condition and create a personalized plan to help you reach your health goals. During your visit, you will be working with a Student Physical Therapist who is completing her practicum placement, under the supervision of a licensed physiotherapist.

Based on these findings, your physiotherapist and student therapist will explain the cause of your symptoms and how they relate to your body and movement patterns. Together, you will collaborate on a personalized care plan designed to support your recovery and help you achieve your healthcare goals. Our clinic specializes in manual therapy, soft tissue release, and active rehabilitation, and treatment may begin during the same session. When appropriate, your physiotherapist may also incorporate additional techniques such as sport taping or shockwave therapy to support your recovery.
