Larissa Vishniakoff

About Larissa

Larissa studied at the University of British Columbia for both her Bachelor’s degree in Science (2007) and Master’s degree in Physical Therapy (2009). She was exposed to Physiotherapy at a young age and was immediately intrigued by the profession. Through her own injuries, she has developed a deep sense of empathy and compassion, along with a comprehensive knowledge base that comes from being both a patient and a therapist.

She continues to prioritize life-long learning, expanding her knowledge in visceral manipulation and craniosacral therapy techniques, neuro-movement retraining, and Autonomic Nervous System therapy. She is also a certified clinical pilates instructor.

Teaching & Leadership

Larissa is passionate about moving our profession forward and creating advanced courses. She serves as Lead Instructor Trainer with Calibrate Clinical Pilates Education and Course Developer with West Coast Injection Training for ultrasound-guided dry needling. She truly loves to embark on any opportunity to collaborate with and learn from others.

Treatment Approach

Larissa is devoted to creating a safe healing space for your mind and body. She uses her skills to assess and treat the whole person, ensuring that patients understand and are part of the treatment process the entire way through.

Her recipe for healing blends manual therapy and fascial release with IMS/Acupuncture, a generous helping of movement therapy and habit retraining, and a foundation of education and body awareness.
