Colin Trigellis-Smith trained in Australia, earning his Master of Clinical Science in Osteopathic Practitioner from Victoria University in Melbourne — and brings more than a decade of sports-rehabilitation experience to his Vancouver practice.
From 2015 to 2019 he worked full-time on the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour, supporting some of the world’s top female golfers. In that elite environment he delivered expert manual therapy and individualised strength programs built to manage injury, restore mobility, and sharpen performance.
Today he applies that same high-performance standard to clients across Vancouver — from competitive athletes to active people working through back pain, golf injuries, shoulder issues, and movement limitations. A former competitive baseball and Australian Rules football player, Colin understands first-hand how injury affects performance and confidence.
Hands-on techniques that reduce pain and free up joint and tissue mobility.

“I worked with Colin for four and a half years on the LPGA Tour, five days a week, and always relied on his expertise to adjust and correct my body and improve my movement efficiency.”
“Three years together on the LPGA Tour, focused on golf assessment and movement efficiency. I won three tournaments with many top-10 finishes — his expertise was crucial.”
“Colin’s expertise in golf assessment and sports rehabilitation was invaluable through the 2016 Olympics, helping me achieve the Silver medal. His knowledge of movement was second to none.”
