Our History

Priest Valley Physiotherapy was a rehabilitation clinic that has been serving Vernon for over 18 years and in 2017 they teamed up with Dr Charlie Secretan who has been an orthopaedic surgeon practicing and living with his family in Vernon since 2011. He was joined in 2019 by fellow Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr Geoff Jarvie, Physiatrist Dr Jennifer Thomas, Sports Medicine Physician Dr Liz Ariano and Dr Phillipe Lepage. More recently, Dr Becky Falk, Physiatry and Dr Jan Splawinski, Orthopaedic surgeon have moved into the clinic. 

These main protagonists have been drawn together by a desire to provide the highest quality care for their patients. Frustrated by the traditional, often disjointed model of musculoskeletal care, they have teamed up to create a full service, multidisciplinary, musculoskeletal centre – Progression Muscle, Bone and Joint clinic.

Our goal is simply to provide the most timely, efficient, effective and quality care for our patients. We aim to provide a coordinated and collaborative approach to the management of all of your muscle, bone, joint and nerve issues. We work as a team providing expertise and opinion from a variety of different professions coming together to create a complete assessment, treatment plan and rehabilitation for our clients.
