Jason Nenzel

Hi! My name’s Jason and I’m one of the Physical Therapists at South Island Physiotherapy. Navigating pain, injury, and attempting to improve physical performance can be confusing. Through years of experience in the field of orthopaedics, I have the knowledge and skills to help you understand your condition, manage pain, rehabilitate from acute/chronic injury, and pursue the life you want. My passion for Physiotherapy is influenced by my fascination with human adaption and resiliency. It’s amazing what the body can accomplish when we develop a unique physical rehabilitation protocol specific to your needs. When we do, the body encounters the correct stimulus, at the correct time, in a progressive manner, and powerful change can occur. If you’re interested in learning more about your body, managing pain, rehabilitating a new or old injury, and/or have a goal that you’d like to achieve – come on in and let’s work together.

For those interested in my credentials, here are some highlights: I received my undergraduate degree from Vancouver Island University (VIU) in 2014. While attending VIU I received multiple awards for academic excellence, public speaking, and graduated as Valedictorian. I then received my Master of Science in Physical Therapy degree from the University of Alberta (U of A) in 2017. While attending the U of A I was elected the President of the Rehabilitation Medicine Student Association, as well as the Physiotherapy Graduate Committee, which developed my passion for organizational leadership. Currently, I’m a Director of the Board at the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) where I’m able to contribute to profession of Physiotherapy here in Canada. I also participate in frequent post-graduate courses related to my practice as a Physiotherapist. Some of these courses have included functional dry needling, advanced management of the cervical and lumbar spine, advanced management of the glenohumeral joint, and others.
