01
Affiliation & Screening
A peer-reviewed process that verifies clinical competence, professionalism, and patient outcomes before anyone can display our mark.
Mission
Excellent care shouldn't be hard to find.
YVR Rehab Collective is a community-driven organization that screens and highlights the top rehab, kinesiology, and performance professionals across Greater Vancouver.
The gap we close
A licence and a reputation aren't the same thing.
Right now, finding a genuinely excellent rehab or kinesiology provider means relying on Google reviews or word of mouth — neither of which reflects real clinical skill. Regulatory colleges confirm someone is licensed, not that they're exceptional.
To be affiliated with YVR Rehab Collective means you've been vetted for competence, care, and results — a signal patients, employers, and partners can trust at a glance.
What we do
Seven ways we put that standard to work.
02
Talent Development
Mentorship and internship pathways for kinesiology students at UBC, SFU, TWU, and Douglas College, and for early-career clinicians.
03
Community Events
On-site rehab and recovery tents at sporting events, tournaments, and community gatherings.
04
Corporate Wellness
Bringing screened practitioners directly into workplaces for injury prevention, ergonomics, and performance programs.
05
Education & Talks
Public and professional talks on rehab, recovery, and performance science.
06
Pro Bono Wing
Free or subsidized care access for community members who couldn't otherwise afford it.
07
Brand Partnerships
Vetted nutrition, equipment, and recovery brands aligned with our standards.
Founder
Built from the clinic floor, not a boardroom.
Faraz is a Registered Kinesiologist and Head Kinesiologist in Surrey, BC, with roots in ICBC active rehabilitation. Years spent mentoring the next generation of kinesiology students showed him the same thing from both sides: exceptional clinicians were everywhere, and almost none of them had a way to be seen for it.
YVR Rehab Collective was born from a simple belief — talent should be recognized, not hidden. Every part of what we build, from the screening process to the pro bono wing, comes back to that.
Go further together.
