Paul Brown

Paul Brown is a registered physiotherapist, licensed with the College of Physiotherapists of British Columbia and a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. He holds a Master of Physiotherapy degree from the University of British Columbia.
 
Paul's interest in athletics, human body mechanics and manual therapy evolved under the influence of his father, Stanley Brown, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Human Kinetics and practitioner of Feldenkrais “Awareness Through Movement”.
 
“It is very interesting to me that the principles of mind/body connection and movement pattern retraining have emerged as key trends in physiotherapy today. These are core Feldenkrais principles that impressed my father in the 1970s when he first met Feldenkrais at UBC. I may have sometimes lacked the necessary patience as a teenage athlete, but I was always impressed with the big picture point of view that my father brought to rehabilitation. As soon as he returns from New Zealand, I plan to work with him on integrating Feldenkrais techniques into my practice.”

Paul continues to broaden his skills in Manual Therapy and is currently training in Mulligan manual techniques.

As the youngest sibling from a local family of professional musicians, his arts background shaped his choice of undergraduate degree in French Literature and International Relations. Paul speaks French and was once fairly fluent in Spanish, but admits to being a bit rusty in both. He has been involved in community athletics since childhood, is a long-term participant in local basketball leagues and volunteered as a coach with the Developmentally Challenged Youth Basketball Association. He enjoys hiking, tennis, cycling, snowboarding and fitness training. As a new father of a robust 9-month old boy, Paul understands sleep deprivation.

Paul is excited to join Seva in serving the local community in Kitsilano. He treats 1-on-1 in 45 minute sessions.
