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.

“Terrific physiotherapy for athletes”

“Today I had an initial acupuncture appointment with Debra. She was great. Debra also did cupping on my back and this wasn’t cupping I’ve been accustomed to. Typically, I had it where the cup is placed on an area for a period of time then pulled off, however, Debra was moving the cup all over my back and then left a bunch on while she worked the other side. I haven’t felt this loose and good for a long time. I’ll be scheduling another acupuncture and cupping session in the future fur sure. If you have Instagram, check out their page and watch the video that says, “Spring Cleaning” on it. Their page is vernon_active_health . 🙂 Highly recommend and the staff are great!”
