Melanie Soer

Physiotherapist

Melanie received her BSc in Kinesiology, plus certificates in Applied Human Nutrition and Health and Fitness from Simon Fraser University. After graduating with a Masters in Physical Therapy (MPT) from UBC in 2014, she went on to complete her Orthopaedic Level 3 Upper and Lower Extremity courses in Manual Therapy, and Intermediate Practical Exam.

Melanie became interested in working with people with arthritis and mixed connective tissue disorders, which she did through the Mary Pack Arthritis Centre in Vancouver. That’s where she has also assisted in teaching the Advanced Continuing Education Program and the Advanced Total Joint Arthroplasty Rehabilitation courses.

Melanie is a certified Chan Gunn IMS Practitioner, and has completed level 1a and 1b Biokinetic Exercise Technique (B.E.T.) courses, which comprise an exercise treatment based on Pilates principles. Melanie has also completed additional training in vestibular rehabilitation (vertigo, dizziness and balance), as well as treatment protocols of temporomandibular disorders. She is a clinical assistant professor for the UBC Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) Program and has been a Clinical Preceptor for several MPT students over the last number of years.

What our clients are saying
  • "‘I've been a patient of Dr. Kelsick for the past 10 years, and Dr. Rite for the past 4, and the two are truly amazing at what they do! Although their titles are Chiropractors, they both have such a wide base of knowledge and understanding of the body, that I often feel as if our sessions are a combination of chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and occasionally even nutrition. As such, when I see them, I know I am being taken care off. As an athlete, and simply an injury prone individual, they have both truly made a difference in how my body functions. I definitely recommend =).’ "
    Sabrina Nettey
  • "‘Dr. Kelsick and his team are truly amazing. They’ve been putting me back together and keeping me moving for more than 15 years and now take care of my whole extended family, from my 86-year-old mom to my teenage daughters. Dr. Kelsick goes the extra mile to understand exactly what is going on with your body in order to provide the very best solutions. No problem is too complex or challenging. Think Dr. House with a far better bedside manner!’ "
    Peggi Peacock
  • "‘As an athlete my goal is to have a fit and healthy body, and Maxfit Movement Institute helps me maintain this goal. The team of Doctors are truly gifted, and their positive outlook on life is amazing. Thank you for making a difference in my life.’"
    L Murphy
  • "‘The difference with the staff at MaxFit, especially Randy and Wilbour: they take the time to assess and determine the source of your aches or pains. Not only do they treat whatever it is, they explain how to avoid it happening again. I have tried many physio-therapists but none of them come close to MaxFit. Highly recommended. ‘"
