Why In-Gym Physio
Treatment and Training
Under One Roof
Most physiotherapy clinics treat you on a table and send you home with a sheet of exercises. At Fittopia, your sessions happen inside a fully equipped fitness center. That means Winston can take you from manual therapy straight to the squat rack, the cable machine, or the resistance floor within the same appointment.
Movement-based rehabilitation performed on actual fitness equipment is more specific, more progressive, and more effective than exercises done in a clinic hallway. Your body learns to move correctly under the loads it will face in real life and in training.
On-Site
Treatment and strength work happen in the same session, in the same building.
Equipment Access
Full access to Arsenal Strength USA equipment during your rehab sessions.
No Double Booking
No need to see a physio elsewhere and then drive to the gym. One visit covers both.
Location
Conveniently Inside the Gym
Located at 7951 Alderbridge Way, Unit 155, Richmond, BC, minutes from Aberdeen Centre and the Canada Line. Free parking available on-site. Members can book physio and continue training in the same visit. Non-members get complimentary gym floor access during their appointment.

Patient Reviews
“I have been weightlifting for a decade now, and he was able to quickly point out a critical blind spot of mine. What impressed me the most was how respectful, humble and well-spoken Winston is. It is evident he applies what he teaches his clients to his own physical fitness and I am extremely satisfied with what I learned from him. I encourage others to seek out his expertise. Winston is a true professional in every aspect and a specialist many others can learn the importance of physical rehabilitation from.”
Jonathan Chen
“Winston is an excellent physiotherapist and fitness coach. I work in the medical field and often had lower back pain from standing for long hours, as well as a hunched posture. Winston identified the root cause and guided me through both treatment and training. My posture has improved significantly, the pain is gone, and most importantly, I have built a consistent exercise habit. Highly recommend Winston to anyone looking to improve their posture or relieve pain!”
Terry Wu
“I came in with persistent foot pain and I am now so much better just after a few sessions. Winston is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. Highly recommend!”

Darya Wei
“After years of struggling with lower back pain from scoliosis and injury from snowboarding, I finally found lasting relief thanks to Winston. His approach was thorough, patient, and incredibly effective. He did not just treat the symptoms but helped me understand the root causes and how to strengthen my body for long-term stability. Through a combination of precise manual therapy, posture correction, and progressive strengthening exercises, I have experienced a remarkable improvement in mobility and comfort. What truly sets Winston apart is his empathy and dedication. He listens, explains every step clearly, and empowers you to take charge of your own recovery. His care has been genuinely life-changing.”

What makes Fittopia physiotherapy different from other clinics in Richmond?

Your rehab is performed on real training equipment, which makes progression faster and more relevant to real life. He also has a Kinesiology degree (UBC) and a Masters in Physiotherapy (University of Sydney), so his background is as much exercise as clinical.
Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist in BC?
No. British Columbia has direct access to physiotherapy, so no physician referral is required to book. Your extended health plan may or may not require a referral depending on your specific policy. Check your benefits booklet before your first appointment if uncertain.
