Gail McArdle

Physiotherapist and Clinic Owner | Live Life Physiotherapy and Acupuncture

I trained in the UK, graduating from physio school in a specialist orthopaedic hospital in 1993 and have undertaken extensive post-grad training in many physiotherapy and rehabilitation techniques.

No two patients are the same; my training and 3 decades of experience have given me a set of skills to apply to any situation and as a result, I am able to help the vast majority of patients I see. If I can’t help you, I probably know someone who can!

Our bodies have an amazing capacity to self-heal – I see my role as providing optimal conditions for that to take place, through exercise, and various techniques, as well as moral support and encouragement for the journey back to optimal health and fitness.

I moved to Vernon in 2012 and am thoroughly enjoying life in the beautiful Okanagan. I have met and worked with many amazing people and genuinely believe that we live in a very special place where health and wellness take the priority they deserve.

In 2022, I opened my own clinic, Live Life Physiotherapy and Acupuncture, to expand my practice and give other practitioners the opportunity to work in a team environment, where they can develop their own business, with all the support they need to grow.

Currently we offer physiotherapy, acupuncture, massage therapy, kinesiology and counselling. Our ethos is to get people back to the activities they love and beyond, so they can live their fullest life.
