Shawn specializes in integrating Orthopedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture techniques, offering a seamlessly blended, evidence-based approach to soft tissue injury rehabilitation and pain management. His signature treatment protocol—combining targeted deep-tissue/acupressure manual therapy, cupping, and electro-acupuncture—is designed to accelerate recovery and deliver good prognosis of injury. In addition to musculoskeletal care, Shawn utilizes balance acupuncture techniques to harmonize meridian systems, addressing internal energy imbalances, hormonal regulation, and nervous system regulation. Backed by extensive clinical experience and strong patient outcome reviews, he is also adept at supporting patients through gynecological health and pre- and post-partum care. Shawn is dedicated to providing an individualized care. He takes the time to carefully evaluate each patient's health concerns to deliver clear insights and effective, goal-oriented treatment plans. Known for his unique approach and gentle technique, Shawn ensures patients feel comfortable, supported, and confident throughout their care. Born and raised in South Korea before settling on the North Shore, Shawn is fully bilingual in English and Korean. Outside the clinic, he is a proud father of three who loves spending time with his family, playing local league baseball, and exploring the North Vancouver trail system.
