about Jena
Jena graduated from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy in 2005, following her earlier achievement of a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology in 2002. With a solid academic foundation, Jena spent 16 years in Alberta practicing physiotherapy before setting her sights on the Okanagan lifestyle and finding her home in Vernon three years ago.
Throughout her career, Jena has amassed a wealth of experience in treating diverse injuries and working with athletes across various levels of sports and activities. Having conquered her own injuries, she brings a unique empathy and understanding to her practice. Above all, Jena finds fulfillment in helping individuals reclaim their passions and return to what they love doing most.
Continuously striving for excellence, Jena has pursued training in specialized areas, including muscular dry needling (Gunn IMS), Spinal and Peripheral Manipulation, Advanced Clinical Reasoning, and Advanced Vestibular Rehabilitation for the treatment of Vertigo. She firmly believes in adopting a multifaceted approach to therapy, integrating techniques like IMS with hands-on manual therapy to address movement dysfunctions effectively and restore optimal function and strength.
Beyond the clinic, Jena leads a vibrant and active lifestyle. Whether it’s engaging in strength training, traversing mountain trails on horseback, perfecting her golf swing, camping, or enjoying lake time with her family, she finds boundless joy in the great outdoors. Additionally, Jena nourishes her creative spirit by delving into crafting projects and studying Spanish.
