Diane Lee & Associates was founded in 1982 in North Delta as the Delta Orthopaedic Physiotherapy Clinic (DOPC). From the very beginning, we sought to identify the cause of your problems, as opposed to simply treating the symptoms, and our approach has always focused on restoring function by optimizing better strategies, or ways, of doing things. DOPC was one of only a few clinics in the Vancouver Regional District to follow this approach.

In 2000, DOPC was sold to LifeMark Health and Diane continued to work with LifeMark Health, both as a manager and physiotherapist at DOPC/LifeMark. Four years later, Diane left DOPC (which was subsequently renamed LifeMark Physiotherapy - Nordel) and opened Diane Lee & Associates in White Rock/South Surrey, initially as Ocean Pointe Physiotherapy Consultants.

At Diane Lee & Associates in White Rock/South Surrey, we continue to offer a functional approach and strive to be a centre of excellence with our goal being to help you achieve yours.

This often requires addressing the cause of your pain as opposed to merely treating your painful structures. This paradigm shift requires an understanding of how the whole body functions and how certain problems can impact other regions of the body. It also requires an understanding of how the things you feel, and believe, about your current experience can impact your function.

All of the physiotherapists at Diane Lee & Associates are experts in the physical diagnosis of movement impairments and have taken several post-graduate courses in their specialty, including the Discover Physio Series of courses developed and taught by Diane Lee & Linda-Joy Lee of Discover Physio (www.discoverphysio.ca). They work as a team, frequently consulting with one another to bring you the best care possible.

Ultimately, our goal is to help you change the way you use your body by initially creating an awareness of the things you are doing that are currently overloading structures and creating pain. We will provide you with the tools necessary (knowledge, control, flexibility & strength) to move/exercise in ways that create optimal loading and efficient, pain free movement.

By empowering you with the knowledge, movement and awareness necessary to make the changes in your own body, we are simply guides in your own healing process as you transform to live with a healthier, more active body. The greatest success occurs when you are an active participant in your treatment program and we do expect your commitment.

We encourage you to use the resources on this website to further your knowledge, learn better ways to move and to increase your awareness of the things that may possibly be contributing to your problem.
