How ICBC active rehab worksAfter an accident, or a long season of stress, your nervous system does something loving and inconvenient. It turns the alarm up. It braces muscles that no longer need bracing, and it keeps ringing long after the tissue has healed.
This is why rest alone was never enough, and why the pain kept moving, and why nobody could find it on a scan.
Your pain is real. It was never in your head. And it can unlearn.
Safety, skilled touch, breath, and movement graded exactly to you: this is how the alarm learns the danger is over. That is trauma-informed care, and it is the heart of how I practice.
The alarm is turned all the way up. Everything hurts more than it should.
Slide slowly toward rest. This is the shift every session is built to teach your body.
Your manual osteopath, kinesiologist and clinical Pilates instructor in North Vancouver, in one pair of hands. Manual osteopathy releases what is stuck, kinesiology rebuilds the strength around it, and clinical Pilates keeps it there, so the results actually last.
Hands-on work that fixes the main cause of your pain, not just where it hurts. I often combine it with Pilates or gym exercises, so the effects last.

“She blends her kinesiology, Osteopathy, and pilates expertise into the most effective treatment I’ve received.”Christina Summerfield
I honestly can't say enough good things. She blends her kinesiology, Osteopathy, and pilates expertise into the most effective treatment I've received. Can't recommend her enough!
She is an excellent kinesiologist and truly knows what she's doing. If you're looking for someone skilled, caring, and highly knowledgeable, I highly recommend Saba. She is truly one of the best!
Saba is incredible! She is deeply knowledgeable about the body, how it moves, and how to support injury recovery in a thoughtful and effective way. I've already recommended her to several friends. Highly recommend!
Saba's work is truly exceptional! Her treatment produced remarkable results in an incredibly short period of time. After living with chronic knee and back pain for six years, I experienced an improvement that previous treatments had not been able to achieve.
You are the medicine.
After losing over 30 kg and earning a swimming championship while competing nationally in basketball and volleyball, Saba discovered her passion for fitness, rehabilitation and human movement. Her journey began with self-study, earning her ACE personal training certification with specialties in weight management and functional training.
Wanting to go deeper, she studied kinesiology at the University of British Columbia and became a Registered Kinesiologist, then trained as a Registered Manual Osteopathic Practitioner at the National Academy of Osteopathy. As a certified Pilates instructor, she weaves Pilates principles through her rehabilitation work to build core strength, mobility and postural alignment.
Her further training spans nutrition, myofascial release, rehabilitation and high-performance coaching, and she has worked with everyone from semi-professional athletes to pregnant clients, diabetics, and people recovering from spinal cord injuries and accident-related trauma. A firm believer in the mind-body connection, she brings mindfulness, breathwork and body awareness into every session. Her mission is simple: personalized, evidence-informed care that helps you live a healthier, more connected life.
Real, hands-on care in North Vancouver. Most people feel a shift within the first few visits. Let’s find out what your body has been trying to tell you.
Manual osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on therapy that treats the body as one connected system. Rather than focusing only on the painful spot, it works with the muscles, joints, fascia and nervous system together to ease restriction, restore movement and support the body's own healing.
Massage mainly relaxes soft tissue, and many therapies focus on one area. Manual osteopathy looks at the whole body to find why the problem keeps happening. Saba then combines it with kinesiology and clinical Pilates, so the release is rebuilt with strength and kept with movement, which is why the results tend to last.
A kinesiologist is a university-trained movement and exercise specialist who uses active rehabilitation and corrective exercise to help you recover from injury, manage pain, and move well again.
Your first visit is a relaxed, thorough assessment. Saba listens to your story, looks at how you move, and builds a personalised plan, so you leave understanding your body, with clear next steps.
Saba Therapy is in North Vancouver, BC at 890 Harbourside Dr #140. All sessions take place here at the clinic, a calm and private space.
