Dr. Dalen Matthysen, DC, MSc (Sports Medicine) is a second-generation, locally raised chiropractor who provides individualized, hands-on chiropractic care in North Vancouver. His movement-focused approach combines evidence-based treatment, patient education, and exercise to help people reduce pain and return to the activities they enjoy.
After completing a Bachelor of Kinesiology at the University of the Fraser Valley, Dr. Matthysen earned his Doctor of Chiropractic and Master of Science in Sports Medicine from the University of Western States, graduating Summa Cum Laude.
At 17 he rehabilitated his own football knee injury — an experience that sparked his passion for movement, recovery, and empowering others. He has since worked extensively with high-school athletes and served as one of the chiropractors for the BC Lions, bringing hands-on sports experience into his clinical practice.
Dr. Matthysen’s approach is science-based and movement-focused. He emphasizes patient education and a practical blend of condition explanation, targeted exercise, nutrition guidance, and lifestyle modification. His goal is to give patients the tools and confidence to take control of their health, improve their function, and get back to the activities they love.
Outside the clinic he stays active year-round — hiking, skiing, water sports, and travelling — and lives in BC with his wife, Hannah (RMT), and their dog, Guinness. He’s an approachable community practitioner who enjoys supporting people at all stages of their health and performance journey.
Hannah graduated from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in December 2022 with Honours & Clinical Distinction. She has a clinical evidence-based approach to her practice, and focuses on educating and empowering her patients.
Born and raised on the North Shore, she first found her passion for massage when she began bodywork treating horses; she is a Certified Equine Performance Therapist and also holds a certificate in Business Administration from Capilano University. Hannah also has an extensive background with almost 10 years in the hospitality industry working with the public.
On her spare time you can find Hannah riding horses, walking her great dane Guinness, hiking through forests, or spending time by the ocean with her husband and business partner, Dalen.
Hannah is in good standing with the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia.
