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.

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.
