Glenn Charbonneau

Registered Physiotherapist

MPT

Glenn grew up in Kelowna with a curiosity about human movement and how understanding the body supports recovery and keeps people active. 

He completed a Bachelor of Human Kinetics at UBC Okanagan and a Master of Physical Therapy at UBC Vancouver in 2016. Since then, he has worked in public and private settings across British Columbia and Alberta, with experience in outpatient orthopaedics, post-operative rehabilitation, workplace and motor-vehicle injury recovery, and return-to-work programs. Alongside private practice, he has worked with Interior Health in surgical rehabilitation, urgent and primary care, and WorkSafeBC pathways, collaborating with physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, and other allied health professionals. These experiences help him guide recovery from early stages to a supported return to sport, work, and everyday life.

In his practice, Glenn listens to what matters most to each person and builds a practical plan that works beyond the clinic. Treatment blends clear education, exercise, progressive loading, and hands-on care. When appropriate, he uses intramuscular stimulation (IMS or dry needling) and shockwave therapy. He also has a particular interest in persistent and complex pain, helping people understand why pain occurs and how knowledge and movement can work together to reduce fear and restore function.

Outside the clinic, Glenn stays active in the community he calls home, running local paths, playing soccer, and enjoying the occasional round of golf. He enjoys working with people of all ages and activity levels across Kelowna and the Okanagan.
