Born and raised here in Vancouver, Dr. Linford Geekiyanage received his Doctor of Chiropractic from the Palmer College of Chiropractic in San Jose, California after completing his Bachelors of Human Kinetics at the University of British Columbia.

Linford aims to get you out of pain and moving better in a short time frame while also providing you with long term solutions to your issues. He plans to do this using a variety of manual therapy techniques including chiropractic adjustments, myofascial release, cupping, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, taping as well as rehabilitative exercises.
