Born and raised in Central Ontario, Jacalyn was a dedicated multi-sport athlete throughout her youth. At a time when professional opportunities in women’s sports were limited, she shifted her focus toward a career in Sports Medicine. Her passion for high-performance sport led her to McMaster University, where she gained her first experience in the field as a student Strength & Conditioning Coach during her undergraduate degree in Kinesiology.

Inspired by the work of both Athletic Therapists and Physiotherapists, and intrigued by the complementary scopes of each profession, Jacalyn pursued dual training to integrate both into her clinical practice. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Athletic Therapy from the University of Manitoba and later completed her Master of Science in Physiotherapy at the University of Alberta, all while working as a Strength & Conditioning Coach at Winsport.

Jacalyn spent the last nine years at the University of Lethbridge Sports Medicine Clinic, where she treated a wide range of athletic and active populations. She recently moved to Calgary to contribute to research on sport-related concussions at the University of Calgary, further deepening her expertise in sports injury and recovery.

In addition to her academic and clinical background, Jacalyn is certified through Acupuncture Canada to provide medical acupuncture, and is authorized by the College of Physiotherapists of Alberta to perform spinal manipulations, as well as male and female internal pelvic floor examinations.

She uses her extensive knowledge of human movement and rehabilitation to help patients of all backgrounds reach their goals—whether that’s recovering from injury, improving performance, or maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.
