Click Here To Book With Jon

Jon is a Certified Athletic Therapist with a Bachelor's Degree in Athletic and Exercise Therapy and Diploma in Exercise and Wellness from Camosun College. Jon sat as a member of the Board of Directors for the Athletic Therapists Association of BC from 2018 to 2024, including time as association President. In addition, he has been a Human Anatomy instructor at Victoria's Pacific Rim College since 2021. Personally, he is an avid indoor rock climber and trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Born and raised in Victoria, Jon has been involved with numerous sports and fitness settings as both medical personnel and coach. With a background in long-distance running, he spent 9 years coaching other runners at the youth level where he developed his skill in then being able to coach and motivate his clients through their rehab. Jon has also had a great deal of focus with providing care for athletes in lacrosse, martial arts, rock climbing, and body building. However, Jon retains a passion for working with non-athletic populations as well, especially in regards to returning movement and quality of life to chronic pain clients. Areas of interest that he likes to treat with clients include persistent neck, lower back, and TMJ (jaw) pain.

Jon’s philosophy is that any individual has the ability to attain optimal health through education and guided exercise. He sees the inherent ability in every individual to move naturally and healthily and has confidence that every human body can regain the ability to function without pain.

What Is Athletic Therapy?

An active-based approach of rehab that emphasizes exercise while continuing to incorporate passive manual techniques. Long-term planning focuses on keeping you as involved in your activity as possible during the recovery process. Athletic Therapy is billable to ICBC and other private health insurance providers!

Athletic Therapy is a branch of therapy that specializes in musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. With exercise being a focus of the rehabilitation, it also includes manual therapy such as joint mobilizations and soft-tissue work.

Athletic Therapists are trained to work with any population, regardless of age, background, or experience. The range of demographics that we can work with includes athletes, children, post-surgical clients, and car accident patients. Clients who are hesitant regarding performing exercise can feel comfortable that their rehab program will begin at whatever comfort level they need.

Beginning an active rehab plan early into an injury or pain experience will help to ensure minimal time off of work, school, or activity, decreasing the impact on your routine. Contrary to traditional beliefs that absolute rest is indicated for recovery, we now have an understanding that if even small, low-grade movements can be performed in the acute stage of injury, then optimal recovery is easier and quicker to achieve.

Testimonials

Our client opinions are valued and help to direct our methods of care

I dislocated my shoulder and the doctor told me to put it in a sling and not move it for six weeks. Wrong! John helped me get it stronger and more stable than ever within a month. He has also helped me heal and strengthen a recurring lower back injury, and I also feel stronger and more capable than ever in this area. John is the best! He is so focused and commited to helping us all be awesome. I have referred many people to him and will be a customer of his for life!

Jon has been an absolute professional with me. He is knowledgable, personable, and intuitive when it comes to my rehab needs and I am incredibly grateful to have him working with me. He is consistent, flexible, and reliable. I dislocated my shoulder in December of last year and since starting work with him in late February, my range of motion has fully returned with most of the strength as well.

I highly recommend Jon at Cain Exercise. Jon has a gentle, knowledgeable approach that immediately puts you at ease. I went to him after a serious sprained ankle. I had been to physio and got nowhere. In a short amount of time Jon got my ankle functioning better and gaining strength and mobility and its range back. He understands people's lifestyles and works with you to find the best solution. He listens when something doesn't work and figures out another solution. He is about getting you moving and keeping you moving so that you can do the things you want to do. I am very grateful I found Jon and that I've gotten my ankle and foot, strength and mobility back. I am now back out hiking and doing stairs both of which were off my list for a few months.

Jon is an absolute wonderful person and an incredibly knowledgeable athletic therapist. I would recommend him to anyone needing a safe and effective rehabilitation exercise program.

Tiffany P.

A visit to Jon is a MUST! I've tried for years with others to recover from pain and nerve issues, but they all told me nothing could undo the damage. By my 3rd visit here I had more relief and recovery than I ever thought possible. Jon makes you feel welcome and truly takes the time to listen and assess before starting any treatments. As well, when you pay for an hour, you get a full hour. Take my word for it....he is a miracle worker
