Kanika Gandhi was born and raised in India. She landed as a new immigrant to Victoria, BC in 2013. She started her journey as a Physical Therapist in Canada in 2014. She completed all her education back home- Bachelor of Physiotherapy in 2010 and completed postgraduate Masters in Sports Physiotherapy in 2012.
As a new immigrant, she tried and tested a few cities before settling in Surrey, BC. She spent a few months in Victoria and a few initial years in Edmonton, working as a PT. Her areas of practice include musculoskeletal physiotherapy, concussion management, vestibular therapy and dry needling.
She enjoys working with people from all walks of life, as long as they are committed to achieve their fitness goals. In the past, she has worked with all kinds of injuries- be it work related, car accident injuries, repetitive injuries/syndromes or sports injuries. Her way of treatment involves a thorough assessment, detailed evaluation and educating the client about the root-cause of symptoms and management principles. She is open to questions and is always happy to explain what’s going on and why. During your treatment sessions with her, you can expect to be engaging yourself into a variety of interesting exercise routines- as physical activity is the medicine a physical therapist can offer!
She is a mother of 2 young kids and loves to spend time with them, outside of work. If you don’t see her in the clinic, you will surely see her in neighborhood parks playing hide-and-seek with her kids.

IMS dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting very thin, sterile needles into specific points within tight or overactive muscles (trigger points). Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, IMS is grounded in Western neurophysiology. It targets dysfunctional muscle tissue and irritated nerves to reduce pain and restore normal muscle function. How it relates to concussion: After a concussion, it’s common for clients to experience secondary musculoskeletal symptoms such as: Neck pain and stiffness Headaches (especially cervicogenic headaches) Shoulder or upper back tension Dizziness or imbalance due to altered neck proprioception These issues often arise because of changes in posture, muscle guarding, or nerve irritation following the initial head or neck injury. How IMS dry needling helps: Reduces muscle tension and spasm – By releasing trigger points in the neck, shoulders, and upper back, dry needling helps restore normal muscle tone and reduces strain on the cervical spine. Improves blood flow and healing – The micro-injury caused by the needle promotes local healing and helps normalize nerve and muscle function. Decreases nerve hypersensitivity – IMS targets muscles supplied by irritated nerves, helping calm down the nerve pathways that perpetuate chronic pain. Restores mobility – Releasing tight muscles can improve neck range of motion, which is often restricted post-concussion and contributes to dizziness or headaches. Reduces headache and dizziness symptoms – By treating cervical muscle tension and joint dysfunction, dry needling can help relieve cervicogenic headaches and neck-related dizziness (cervicogenic dizziness). Enhances overall rehabilitation – When combined with physiotherapy, vestibular therapy, or vision therapy, IMS can accelerate recovery by reducing physical barriers to movement and exercise. When it’s most effective: Dry needling is typically most beneficial once acute concussion symptoms (like light sensitivity or severe dizziness) have stabilized and the focus shifts to addressing persistent neck pain, headaches, or movement restrictions.
