Christine Ziade, BAKin, MHScPT
Registered Physiotherapist | Founder of Ethos Collective Physiotherapy, Britannia Beach/Squamish, BC
My treatment approach combines hands-on techniques with individualized exercises to help restore mobility, strength, function and improve movement efficiency, and support the body's natural capacity to adapt and heal.
I have a particular interest and extensive experience in TMJD and jaw rehabilitation. Between 2013 and 2018, I worked at a TMJ-focused physiotherapy clinic. This experience deepened my understanding of the relationship between jaw dysfunction, posture, breathing mechanics, and whole-body movement and approach to addressing TMJ dysfunction.
My postgraduate training includes mobilization of the mysofascial system, visceral manipulation (V1-4) and neural manipulation (V1-2) through the Barral Institute, manual therapy, functional movement analysis (SFMA), and acupuncture.
Who I work with
I work best with people who are curious about their health, motivated to understand their bodies, and ready to take an active role in their recovery.
Whether you're dealing with TMJD, chronic pain, persistent tension, or simply want to move and feel better, I believe in working together to uncover the factors contributing to your symptoms and create a personalized approach to improving your health.
A little about me
I graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 2007 with an Honours Specialization in Kinesiology and a Minor in French, then completed my Master's in Physiotherapy at the University of Ottawa in 2010.
I recently moved to British Columbia and I’m excited to discover more of this beautiful part of Canada. Outside my clinic hours, I love travelling, hiking, yoga, tennis, surfing, skiing, cooking, and spending time near the ocean.
If you're looking for a physiotherapist in the Squamish area who takes a comprehensive, whole-body approach to healing and movement, I'd love to work with you.
Looking for a physiotherapist in Squamish who takes a whole-body approach to TMJD, chronic pain, and movement dysfunction?
I'm Christine Ziade, a registered physiotherapist with over 17 years of private practice experience. I help people improve how they move, feel, and function by looking beyond their symptoms and understanding how the body works as an interconnected system.
My approach combines advanced manual therapy, functional movement, and breath-based strategies to address the underlying contributors to pain and dysfunction. I work with people experiencing TMJ dysfunction (TMJD), persistent tension, chronic pain, and movement restrictions, as well as those looking to improve their overall mobility and wellbeing.
My approach to physiotherapy
I believe lasting change comes from understanding the bigger picture. The jaw, spine, ribcage, breathing mechanics, fascia, nervous system, and movement patterns are all connected. When one area isn't functioning well, it can influence the rest of the body.
