Jayda Lauzon | South Island Physiotherapy

Hi, my name is Jayda, and I am a Kinesiologist and Personal Trainer at South Island Physiotherapy. I work with people who want to feel stronger and more confident in their bodies, but may not be sure where to start, what exercises are right for them, or how hard they should be pushing.

I have a particular interest in helping women through perimenopause and menopause who may be noticing changes in their strength, energy, recovery, or confidence with exercise. This stage of life can make movement feel unfamiliar, and my goal is to help you better understand what your body needs, build strength progressively, and feel capable rather than limited by those changes.

My approach is to make strength training feel practical, approachable, and specific to you. Whether you are new to the gym, returning to exercise after time away, or looking to build strength for the activities you love, I will meet you where you are and create a plan around your goals, experience, and lifestyle. I also want you to understand why we are doing what we are doing, so you leave feeling more confident managing your own health and fitness.

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of Victoria and am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. My background includes strength and conditioning with UVic varsity athletes, adaptive exercise, children’s physiotherapy, and the FAME post-stroke exercise program.

Outside of work, I enjoy strength training, hiking and exploring Vancouver Island, travelling, reading, and finding just about any excuse to get outside.

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. 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.

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.
