Arthur Woznowski-Vu
Physiotherapist, Cert. MDT, MScA, PhD,
Founder & Director of The Chronic Pain Rehab Clinic Inc.
Arthur focused on developing his expertise in chronic pain rehab by pursuing advanced education in the application of pain science to physiotherapy. In addition to his clinical experience, he has completed his PhD in Rehab Science at McGill University. His thesis focused on sensitivity to physical activity which refers to the challenge of having increased pain or other negative reactions when trying to do physical activity as a treatment for back pain and other pain conditions. Arthur is also a leader in his field, having been Chair of the Pain Science Division at the Canadian Physiotherapy Association in 2021-2023 where he led several initiatives including a national physiotherapy advocacy in response to the Canadian Pain Task Force's Action Plan for Pain in Canada.
The Chronic Pain Rehab Clinic
The Chronic Pain Rehab Clinic offers physiotherapy services for the prevention, management, and rehabilitation of chronic pain. We prioritize an active and participative approach to treatment that you can continue on your own when you leave the clinic. Passive treatment approaches (e.g., manual therapy) come second, since although they may temporarily help, these passive treatment approaches require you to keep coming to the clinic and are difficult to continue autonomously.
Autonomy
We prioritize treatments that you can continue at home, supporting your ability to self-manage your pain. Any equipment you see at the clinic, you can buy a home version if interested.
Evidence-based
We prioritize treatments that are supported by research. This includes established treatment approaches, as well as innovative methods. For example, flywheel training is particularly well suited for rehab purposes (due to unique benefits such as variable resistance) yet very few rehab clinics have started using it (but we are!). Fun fact, flywheel training is what astronauts use to mitigate the negative effects of space on their bodies.
Accessibility
We believe that everyone living with persistent pain deserves to have access to non-pharmacological pain management and rehabilitation (or if you've recently had surgery or an injury and want to prevent developing chronic pain). For this reason, we use adapted pricing depending on whether you have insurance or the financial means VS. whether you don't have insurance/used up your insurance quota and lack the financial means.
