Kerry Maxwell

Kerry graduated from the University of Queensland in Australia in 1988 and has since built a career spanning over three decades in physiotherapy. Based in downtown Vancouver, her clinical focus has always centred on orthopaedic rehabilitation and sports injury recovery, with additional expertise in ergonomics and functional capacity evaluation. In 2004, she became certified in Gunn IMS (intramuscular stimulation), an evidence-based dry needling technique widely used for chronic and neuropathic pain conditions.

What sets Kerry apart from many practitioners is a perspective that can only come from personal experience. As a self-described klutz, she has sustained her fair share of injuries over the years and navigated the rehabilitation process firsthand. She knows what it feels like to be sidelined from the activities you love, and she brings that genuine empathy to every patient she treats. Today, Kerry is fit, active, and back to living life fully, which is exactly the outcome she works toward for each person who walks through the clinic doors.

Kerry founded Burrard Physiotherapy in 2004 and spent over two decades cultivating the high standard of care the clinic is known for throughout Vancouver’s downtown core. In 2025, she passed ownership to physiotherapist Kevin Chen, ensuring the clinic’s values, team culture, and commitment to exceptional patient outcomes remain intact. Kerry continues to be a familiar face at Burrard Physiotherapy, stepping in to cover the team during vacation periods and maintaining the continuity of care that long-time patients have come to rely on.

Whether you are recovering from a sports injury, managing a workplace strain, or seeking IMS treatment in downtown Vancouver, Kerry’s depth of clinical experience makes her a trusted resource for the Burrard Physiotherapy team and the patients they serve.
