Dr. J. Tod Pelly, D.C
Dr. John Tod Pelly is a proud resident of the beautiful North Shore of Vancouver. He grew up attending Seymour Heights Elementary followed by Sentinel Secondary, where he graduated with the Class of 1996 as one of three class Valedictorians and holder of the BC Decathlon title. Tod continued on to take a track scholarship at Simon Fraser University, where he obtained All-American status three times. At SFU, Tod studied Kinesiology and took interest in becoming a physiotherapist. Growing up and pushing his body to its limits, he had found himself in a physio environment regularly due to a chronic hamstring problem. However, without getting the results he was hoping for, he decided to try a chiropractor – and he got amazing results. It turned out it wasn’t his hamstring after all; It was his pelvis putting too much pressure on his hamstring. Inspired by his results, Tod decided he wanted to pursue a Doctorate of Chiropractic, and packed his bags for California where he attended the Southern California University of Health Sciences, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2005. Tod also obtained a Post-Doctorate certification in the Gonstead System of Analysis and Technique and after practicing in San Diego, California from 2005-2006, he was thrilled to return to his hometown where he founded The Pelly Clinic in April 2007.
Tod is passionate about giving back to communities around the world via Chiropractic. He has volunteered his services for The Ride to end AIDS, and has provided Chiropractic care on several missions to impoverished countries, including El Salvador, Guatemala, Thailand, Laos, and most recently, his mission “A Small Step” in Nepal.
Outside of the Pelly Clinic, Tod resides in North Vancouver with his wife Julie and their spirited Bernese Mountain Dog, Juno. Tod enjoys spending time with family at his cabin at Sakinaw Lake, water skiing, running, hiking, cheering on the Canucks and hitting the slopes on the mountains of the north shore and Whistler. Tod is also an avid soccer player, playing with the Norvan Lions FC in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League.

Her perfect trip includes immersing herself into a new and different culture, and volunteering around the world to help people in need and environmental causes – Jennifer’s travels are about much more than just seeing the world.
Jennifer believes health and wellness are important for everyone, and that good health makes a world of difference in ones outlook and attitude. When she came onboard with the Pelly Clinic and began having regular adjustments with Tod, she was amazed to see her headaches (recurring for 7 years) disappear and feel an incredible pressure lifted off of her body.
