Dr. Kavan Yu, DC, B.Sc. – Victoria, BC Chiropractor – Active Release Technique, Graston Technique
Born and raised in Victoria, Dr. Kavan Yu first went to a chiropractor at the age of seven for aches and pains related to growing. Constantly playing sports and being active, he found that his chiropractor consistently helped him alleviate and recover from injuries and pain in both an effective and efficient manner. After discovering that all the chiropractors he encountered seemed so passionate about their job, he quickly knew this was the career for him.
After high school, in preparation for his chiropractic training, Dr. Yu attended the University of Victoria, where he completed his Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology, which is the study of human movement. He subsequently attended the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto.
Dr. Yu has a strong interest in soft-tissue injuries in relation to chiropractic care. This has led him to complete various courses in soft-tissue injury related treatment. Some of these courses include certifications in Active Release Techniques, Graston Instrumented Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique, FAKTR-PM or Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehabilitation, Provocation, and Motion, and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization. Furthermore, he constantly strives to better serve his patients by increasing his knowledge base through continuing education courses, workshops and conferences.
Dr. Yu enjoys treating patients of all ages for various neuro-musculo-skeletal conditions ranging from acute injuries, to repetitive strain injuries, to supportive and wellness care. He also has a special interest and knowledge base in athletic injuries, and enjoys taking on challenging cases. He believes in a well-rounded, patient-centered approach to care and utilizes an array of techniques, including: chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue/myofascial mobilization, functional movement screens, rehabilitation exercise, education, and lifestyle modifications.
Nice intro Kav!
Dr Yu was my provider in Toronto while studying at the CMCC. He provided the best care. He was capable of focusing on the injury and issues at hand while considering other complexities I had as a human being at the same time. Although he was a student at the time, I felt he was already practising as an incredible clinician/pratictioner. I’m sad that he left Toronto and miss him very much. Victoria residents are very lucky to have him. I know he will continue with his success as he continues to provide amazing health care. All the very best. Kathleen Frame, Toronto
