As a self-professed mid-level runner, having trained for two marathons and five half marathons, Nick Lo knows first-hand what it's like to experience knee problems and running injuries.
It's no surprise then, as founder/director of Vancouver's Physio Room, that his team's biggest mission is to educate and empower people to take care of themselves, while providing individualized one-on-one physiotherapy sessions to help everybody keep active and achieve a healthy lifestyle.
Nick met his two business partners, co-owners Dara Storey and Deanna Bicego, at UBC, where they all graduated with a Masters in Physiotherapy in 2006. Individually, each worked at various clinics before Nick opened Physio Room's first location on Main Street in 2011. With the trio's like-minded philosophies tethered in collaboration, a second outpost on Oak Street followed in August 2015.
