Jonathan was born and raised in Miramichi, New Brunswick and moved to Campbell River with his family in his teenage years. He immediately fell in love with the area and the people, and considers himself lucky to have grown up in places with ample outdoor opportunities.
Jonathan is a graduate of Dalhousie University’s Masters of Physiotherapy program (2017) and the University of Victoria’s Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology program (2015). He previously worked in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia treating a variety of orthopaedic and neuropathic conditions before moving to Campbell River in 2021. Jonathan has also been a Teaching Assistant at the School of Physiotherapy at Dalhousie University and is a Clinical Preceptor for UBC Physiotherapy Students. He has furthered his education with post-graduate training in orthopaedics (Canadian Physio Association Level 3), hand/wrist conditions and pain science, as well as IMS (Dry Needling).
Jonathan enjoys an active lifestyle with an interest in fishing, hunting and spending time outdoors with his young family and dog. In turn, working as a Physiotherapist gives him the opportunity to help others get back to or continue to enjoy the activities they love. Jonathan believes in working as a team with his patients to develop an appropriate treatment plan to help them reach their goals.
