Our Mission
Musculoskeletal complaints are among the most common reasons patients seek medical care. Only a small percentage of musculoskeletal injuries require surgical referral.
Our mission is to:
- Improve health literacy for non-operative musculoskeletal conditions.
- Engage patients in exercise therapy.
- Provide appropriate bracing and equipment prescriptions.
- Recommend and perform evidence-based treatment. Make timely surgical referrals when necessary.
Corporate “Core Values”
- Put the patient’s health first.
- Timely, clear communication.
- Supportive and inclusive environment.
- Process-driven teamwork.
- Community resource for non-operative musculoskeletal medicine.
Who We Are
Triumph Health opened in 2020 because we saw a gap in comprehensive non-operative musculoskeletal care in Vancouver, BC. Getting a timely diagnosis and treatment plan are key to minimizing the impact of functional impairments from musculoskeletal injury.
Our care model is a partnership between clinician and patient. We focus on optimizing musculoskeletal health and improving function rather than reducing pain. Pain relief is a secondary benefit. After each visit, patients are provided clear communication regarding their diagnosis, necessary investigations and treatment plan.
We connect patients with trusted allied health and exercise professionals in their communities.
