Jennifer Erickson | South Island Physiotherapy

Hi, my name is Jennifer, and I am one of the physiotherapists at South Island Physiotherapy clinic. My approach to physiotherapy comes from both my background as a lifelong runner and my belief that everyone, no matter their starting point, deserves the same level of care and attention given to athletes. I work collaboratively with each person to set clear goals, create thoughtful progressions, and build a plan that fits their life.

My mission is to help you build strength, trust your body, and enjoy the process of working toward your goals. I’m passionate about helping people understand, trust, and move confidently in their bodies. My goal is to give you the knowledge and confidence to take ownership of your movement, understand your pain, and discover just how capable you really are. Together, we’ll build strength, resilience, and confidence in what your body can do. For high-performance athletes, I bring a strong understanding of workload management, training adaptation, and the mental side of sport.

With experience competing at the national level, racing on varsity teams, and coaching runners, I understand the demands of high-level training and the balance it takes to perform at your best. I love collaborating with athletes to fine-tune performance, reduce injury risk, and keep you competing at your best. Whether you’re aiming for the start line, making a team, or achieving a personal best, I’ll meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.

Before becoming a physiotherapist, I studied Kinesiology at the University of Victoria and completed my Master of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia. Competing in varsity cross-country and track at both schools taught me the value of hard work, resilience, and really going for it – even when there’s a chance you might fail. Those experiences shaped how I approach both running and rehabilitation: with patience, persistence, and a belief that progress is always possible.

I have been seeing Alec since before this clinic opened and have always had great professional service and treatment. My son has started working with Keaton and he too has been amazing. I would recommend this clinic to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Kevin Sommerfeldt was very thorough in assessing my foot mechanics and gait in determining whether orthotics would be the right choice for my foot pain. Punctual and polite. Reception was also helpful and friendly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had many years of sore and immovable shoulder and back muscles that my RMT eventually told me to try physio/IMS. I found South Island’s location super convenient and have been a client for several years now given the excellent care from Jason and welcoming atmosphere of the team. My RMT  saw a difference right away and I consider this professional service an essential part of my health and wellbeing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a detailed, communicative, and compassionate physiotherapist, as my experience with her has been exceptional.

When diagnosing my injury she clearly explained her assessment, likely and typical causes, and her approach for treatment. She put together an achievable recovery and treatment plan that fit my daily / weekly exercise and activity routines, as well as longer term fitness goals. Jennifer provided feedback and support over several weeks, and adjusted the recovery plan based on my progress.

Her background and knowledge of running was also very helpful and informative when prescribing exercises and movements to help with a return to run program.

Reception staff are all super friendly too!

Kaitlyn is very kind and really takes the time to listen to all of your concerns.  She has come up with a plan and I am excited to continue seeing her.   It is a great facility with easy parking.
