Brent treats people of all ages and abilities at Envision Physiotherapy, but has extensive experience working with golfers and tennis players.

Tracy Barber
Tracy has been an active physiotherapist in the Vancouver community for over 25 years. She helped open and run clinics such as Seva, Salus and Balance Physiotherapy, but has opted to step out of the ownership role and focus on her clinical practice by joining us at Envision Physiotherapy. Tracy holds a postgraduate diploma in Advanced Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy (FCAMT) and trained under Dr. Chan Gunn to be a licensed Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) practitioner.
Tracy has worked as a physiotherapist for the National Ballet of Canada, Vancouver rugby teams, the BC Winter games, Vancouver Marathons, multiple Sun Runs and for a number of junior elite golfers.

Tracy has been involved in sports all her life and continues to enjoy a variety of activities, including squash, tennis, golf and running as well as being a regular in the gym.
“I strongly believe that maintaining an active lifestyle is a major contributor to our long-term health and happiness. As a keen recreational athlete, and having had my own fair share of significant injuries I can empathize with the pain and the frustration that goes along with this. When injury, pain or illness, limit our ability to move well, our health is compromised. That’s why physiotherapy is an integral part of healthcare and my main goal is to help guide you back to the activities you enjoy and that keep you healthy.”

their pain, rehabilitation goals, and path to recovery. Marcus is passionate about meeting the
rehabilitation needs of every individual through a combination of techniques such as manual

His continuous engagement with sport and movement throughout his life has shown him firsthand the immense benefit that physical activity has to offer for both physical and mental well-being. Along the way, he’s also experienced how pain and injury can negatively impact these things as well.
