At NEXT Clinic, we believe physiotherapy should do more than just reduce pain — it should help people move better, perform stronger, and stay active for the long term. Our approach to physiotherapy in West Kelowna is rooted in evidence-based care, movement education, and collaborative treatment planning.

We’re excited to expand our multidisciplinary services with the addition of physiotherapy focused on sports performance, exercise rehabilitation, and modern sports medicine, led by Tyler Kent, PT an experienced clinician with a background in elite athletics and professional sport.


What Makes Physiotherapy at NEXT Clinic Different?

Physiotherapy at NEXT Clinic goes beyond passive treatment. Our philosophy emphasizes active recovery, combining hands-on therapy with targeted exercise programs that address the root cause of injury — not just symptoms.

This integrated model allows us to support:

  • Injury rehabilitation

  • Sports performance and return-to-play

  • Chronic pain and recurring injuries

  • Post-surgical recovery

  • Concussion treatment and management

  • Golf-specific physiotherapy and movement assessment

By working closely with chiropractic care, massage therapy, and other disciplines under one roof, our physiotherapy services are designed to deliver efficient, long-lasting results.


A Sports Medicine & Performance-Based Approach

Our physiotherapy services are ideal for active individuals, athletes, and anyone who wants to move with confidence. With experience spanning professional soccer, Olympic and Paralympic athletes, and high-performance environments, Tyler brings a strong sports medicine lens to everyday physiotherapy care.

This approach focuses on:

  • Strength and conditioning principles

  • Movement quality and biomechanics

  • Injury prevention strategies

  • Gradual and safe return to sport

  • Performance-based rehabilitation programs

Whether you’re recovering from an injury or aiming to improve athletic performance, physiotherapy at NEXT Clinic is designed to meet you where you are — and help you progress safely.


Exercise-Based Rehabilitation for Long-Term Results

Exercise rehabilitation is a cornerstone of physiotherapy at NEXT Clinic. Rather than relying solely on passive treatments, we prioritize individualized exercise programs that build strength, mobility, and resilience.

Exercise rehab may include:

  • Progressive strength training

  • Mobility and flexibility work

  • Neuromuscular control and balance training

  • Sport- or activity-specific movement patterns

  • Education to support independence and confidence

This approach empowers patients to take an active role in their recovery and reduces the risk of re-injury over time.


Dry Needling & IMS in West Kelowna

NEXT Clinic offers dry needling and IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation) as part of our physiotherapy services. These techniques are commonly used to reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, and support pain relief.

Dry needling and IMS may be helpful for:

  • Muscle tightness and trigger points

  • Sports injuries

  • Chronic muscle pain

  • Neck, shoulder, and low back tension

  • Movement restrictions affecting performance

When combined with manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation, dry needling can be a powerful tool in restoring normal muscle function.


Concussion Treatment & Rehabilitation

Concussion care requires a thoughtful, individualized approach. Physiotherapy at NEXT Clinic includes concussion assessment and treatment, with a focus on safe return to daily activities, sport, and work.

Concussion physiotherapy may involve:

  • Symptom-guided exercise progression

  • Balance and coordination training

  • Neck and vestibular considerations

  • Gradual return-to-play or return-to-work planning

  • Ongoing monitoring and education

Our goal is to support recovery while minimizing setbacks and long-term symptoms.


Golf Physiotherapy & Performance Training

Golf places unique demands on the body, particularly the spine, hips, and shoulders. Physiotherapy at NEXT Clinic includes golf-specific assessment and rehabilitation, helping golfers improve mobility, reduce injury risk, and enhance performance.

This may include:

  • Movement screening and physical limitations assessment

  • Strength and mobility programs tailored to the golf swing

  • Injury prevention strategies for repetitive strain

  • Performance-based rehab for golfers of all levels

This service is ideal for recreational golfers and competitive players alike.
