DANa Tostenson
Physiotherapist
With a passion for people and health, physiotherapy has been a natural fit for Dana.
Dana takes a holistic approach by combining manual therapy, tailored exercise programs, and evidence-based education. His goal is to assist clients in returning to the activities they love, addressing concerns—big or small—with enthusiasm and compassion.
As a former varsity athlete and current recreational competitor, Dana has a deep understanding of sports and performance optimization. This makes him particularly adept at supporting injured athletes and weekend warriors aiming to excel in their pursuits.
Beyond clinical practice, Dana is dedicated to education. He serves as a clinical instructor at the University of British Columbia, where he mentors physiotherapy students during their practicums. Inspired by this role, Dana developed a mentorship program for new graduate physiotherapists, encouraging all staff at Pursuit to participate.
