Taylor Chestnut, MPT, BScKin, HF Practitioner
Physiotherapist
Taylor Chestnut is a physiotherapist dedicated to helping people move with confidence and reduce pain through active, movement-based rehabilitation.
Taylor completed her Bachelor of Kinesiology at the University of Victoria in 2017 before going on to earn her Masters of Physiotherapy from the University of British Columbia in 2022. She is certified in Biomedical Dry Needling (IMS) and is trained as a Human Foundations Practitioner through Functional Patterns, allowing her to integrate biomechanical principles into treatment and coaching.
Taylor’s clinical interests include walking/running gait analysis and optimization, posture assessment and correction, chronic pain, sports-related injuries and complex presentations. Her treatment philosophy centers around movement efficiency – identifying dysfunction at the source and using targeted, progressive movement strategies to create long-lasting change for people of all ages and backgrounds.
She loves working with clients who are keen to take an active role in their recovery. With education, guidance, and a collaborative mindset, Taylor supports each individual in building resilience, improving function, and ultimately returning to the activities they love.
Taylor has been actively involved in the Oak Bay community for a number of years. She was previously a coach for the Pacific Athletics Track and Field club and really enjoys working with runners of all levels to achieve their performance goals.
Within weeks she had me back to running!
“I have rolled my ankles quit a few times over the past 2 years leading to swollen ankles to the point it hurt to stand for long periods of time and decided to make an appointment with Physiotherapist, Sandy Wilson. After the first visit, I had full confidence in her and within weeks she had me back to running!”

Athletic background
“Because of Sandy’s own athletic background she brings both a deeper sense of what is going on and the sense of urgency that most people feel when they are injured. When you have something wrong you just want to get on with it. Sandy has an incredible feel for what is going on and how to fix it.”

Repair my body past what I thought was possible
“I have been going to see Sandy for a few years now for various sporting injuries. She is great at what she does, and I highly recommend her and I send all my friends to see her. She is very strong and has worked out knots/scars in my muscles to repair my body past what I thought was possible. I have tried other practitioners in the past and have always felt like they ignore what I say and just do what they feel is best without telling me why they are doing it- Sandy takes the time to listen and really give feedback on what she is doing and why she is doing it.
I have also recently seen Veronica Hewstan for chiropractic needs, and she has been great as well. She has a wide variety of techniques (ART, Graston etc) to treat a wide variety of injuries.”

My rehabilitation program was easy to follow
“Sandy Wilson is the consummate professional. My running injury was diagnosed efficiently, the treatment was highly effective and my rehabilitation program was easy to follow. What more could one ask for?”
