Our Philosophy

“Because behind every pain, disability, and illness, there’s a story—and that story holds the key to real recovery.“ - Kai

Most physiotherapy clinics focus on symptoms—treating pain, prescribing exercises, and hoping for the best.

But pain isn’t just a physical sensation.

Pain has a history. A story. A pattern.

Every injury, every limitation, every chronic issue exists within a greater context—your lifestyle, your stress, your beliefs about movement. That’s why I don’t just ask, "Where does it hurt?" I ask:

  • When did this pain start?

  • What was going on in your life at the time?

  • What have you tried, and what are you afraid to try?

Because the devil is in the details.

At Obsidian Physiotherapy, I don’t just treat the pain—I help you understand it, navigate it, and move beyond it.
