**William Bateman** Physiotherapist and Educator
Persistent Pain / Tendon Injuries / Climbing Injuries / Psychologically Informed Care
**About Me**
I’m a physiotherapist with over a decade of experience helping people navigate complex injuries and persistent pain. Early in my career, I focused on climbing injuries and tendon recovery—work that revealed just how unpredictable and challenging healing can be. That experience sparked a deeper interest in pain science and shaped my commitment to supporting people through persistent pain conditions.
**Is this the right fit for you?**
My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to each person’s needs—addressing physical challenges while supporting the emotional and psychological aspects that may affect recovery. I work with people experiencing long-standing pain from sports injuries, tendon issues, nerve pain, joint pain, workplace injuries, motor vehicle accidents, post-surgical pain, and persistent pain in areas like the back or neck—even when there’s no clear diagnosis.
I also support clients living with complex conditions, including fibromyalgia, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and persistent tendinopathies. Many experience pain with movement, flare-ups, allodynia, or hyperalgesia—and together, we work to understand these patterns and build strategies that support meaningful change.
My practice is trauma-informed and sensitive to the ways mental health can shape physical recovery. I collaborate with clients who are navigating challenges that may affect their rehab process—helping them work toward their goals in ways that feel safe, empowering, and sustainable. Whether your pain is recent or has persisted for years, I’ll help you make sense of it, navigate it, and build confidence in your body again. Together, we’ll explore small, meaningful changes that support your long-term well-being.
**Professional Background**
I began practicing in Squamish in 2013 and opened a clinic focused on climbing injuries in 2015. Over time, my work expanded into broader pain care and system-level innovation. I’ve led programs throughout Vancouver, including the province’s first low-barrier, non-pharmacological pain management initiative for underserved populations in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, and later an interdisciplinary intensive post-hospital discharge program that brought together over 50 clinicians to support patients through complex transitions using a reablement approach. I’ve also taught in UBC’s Physical Therapy Department and recently completed a two-year term on the executive of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association’s Pain Science Division.
In 2023, I took a sabbatical to develop a mental health curriculum for clinicians, focused on psychologically-informed care. The course is now being offered in collaboration with a mental health professional—bringing together diverse perspectives to support clinicians in integrating mental health into physical health practice.

RMR testing uses our VO2 Master device to get an accurate reading of the amount of calories an individual burns at rest. The test involves a person lying still and breathing into the portable device for 15-20 minutes to measure their oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, which determines the calories they burn at rest.
