Sitka Physio & Wellness LogoWe Are Not Going Anywhere; We’re Going Somewhere
To the loyal customers of Royal Centre Physiotherapy, thank you for your support. To the name Royal Centre Physiotherapy – its time to go. We are ushering in a new era – expanding, changing our name and moving across the street to the lower level of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.

Sitka Physio & Wellness is the name we selected. RCP will continue operating at Royal Centre until April 28th. Beginning May 2nd, we look forward to welcoming you across the street to the beautiful, new, custom designed location of Sitka Physio & Wellness.

Please note: our phone number will be changing to (604) 558-2222 effective April 29th. Our web address continues to be vancouverphysiotherapy.com and we’ve added sitkaphysio.com.

Go Forth
We are proud to introduce our new brand and expanded business. For a while now, we have been bumping elbows, feeling a little crowded and thinking ‘if we could redesign the physio clinic, what would the ideal space look like?’. Lease constraints late last year gave us the opportunity to make that a reality.

Sitka PlansWe found the perfect central downtown location; across the street on the lower level of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver (closest to the Hornby St. entrance). Why stop there? Over the last few years we’ve noticed gaps in core health programs for the downtown market. With a new space to design, the vision grew of a physiotherapy clinic with integrated wellness programs. It all came together when we met several great, highly qualified, equally committed instructors who shared our vision.

Beginning May 2nd, Royal Centre Physiotherapy will move to our new location and change our name to Sitka Physio & Wellness. Why did we choose Sitka? To honor our West Coast roots and expanded core health programs. The Sitka Spruce is native to the west coast of British Columbia, and is tall, strong and light. It is a symbol of strength and natural beauty.

It’s Just a Reputation
During the past ten years, we established Royal Centre Physiotherapy’s reputation for providing caring, effective and efficient physiotherapy treatment. Those are not just words. They are why we get up in the morning. We really care and every day we see that commitment translate into positive outcomes for the clients we treat. (We like to say ‘work with’ instead; because our process is interactive.)

Sitka ConeSitka Physio & Wellness will continue to provide high level, personalized, evidenced-based physiotherapy solutions for specific injury management. In addition, we are pleased to add specialized core health programs to enhance your strategy for keeping fit and healthy. Yoga, Pilates and other small group fitness classes, as well as personal training, one-on-one Pilates reformer sessions, and one-on-one Yoga sessions will be available. The new wellness programs will build on our founding principles and deliver the same high quality, personalized care and instruction.

The Sitka website contains a full class schedule as well as rates and packages. Why not jumpstart your spring with a 3-week Nordic Walking program, or a 6-week Pilates or Yoga class?

Our website continues to be the best source for info and can still be found at vancouverphysiotherapy.com. We’ve also added sitkaphysio.com. For really timely updates, “Like” us on Facebook.
