Jordan was introduced to massage therapy after recovering from a snowboarding accident which left him with a prognosis of lifelong chronic pain. While being treated with massage therapy for his own injuries, Jordan became fascinated with the amount of anatomical knowledge his RMT had and was amazed at the results from treatment. With the combination of yoga, therapeutic exercise and massage therapy, Jordan fully recovered from chronic pain.

Jordan decided that he would pursue a career in Massage Therapy, and attended the 3000 hour RMT program at Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy and graduated in 2011. After practicing at Squamish Physiotherapy for several years, Jordan relocated to Kelowna to be closer to family.

In 2016, Jordan founded Mission Health and Wellness in Kelowna, BC. He uses massage therapy to treat patients with a wide range of conditions.

Jordan has additional training in the assessment and treatment of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine and has participated in manual therapy research for frozen shoulder. Jordan also has training in osteopathic treatment of nerve impingement, to help patients recover from numbness and tingling. Whiplash has been a major focus of Jordan’s practice, as he regularly treats patients injured in traumatic accidents. He also has extensive experience with treating chronic pain conditions.

While not at the office, Jordan spends much of his time studying and reading, learning foreign languages, doing self-care (therapeutic exercise, yoga, meditation), snowboarding, spending time with friends and family, cooking, gardening, and traveling. He supervised the RMT student clinic at Vancouver Career College Kelowna campus, taught courses in jurisprudence and ethics, and has a passion for sharing things he has learned and studied with his patients and colleagues.

Before his career as an RMT, Jordan’s previous experience included professional cooking, customer service, teaching English in Latin America, volunteering with Olive Ridley Sea Turtle conservation, and volunteering in construction for the unhoused in Mexico.

My background in the human body began in sports as a child where i performed competitively in soccer, baseball, swimming, and rugby.

While at college in 1998 I took a Kinesiology course and found my passion. Working with others to maximize performance and aide injury management/rehabilitation.

In 2003 I founded Kinesiologists.ca and ran this business till 2010 when new ownership took over. I have also had the joy of owning/operating fitness centers, most notably the Whistler Creek Athletic Club from 2008-2011. The Olympics were an incredible experience and the teams that trained out of the facility were eye opening to assist with. From Germany to Russia to France etc. The winter sport athletes showed what performance can be.

My teaching and instructing of future Kinesiologists during my roles as an Instructor at CapilanoU, UBC, Quest University, and as a sessional instructor here in Kelowna at UBC Okanagan, has involved an abundance of course offerings further enhancing my knowledge and understanding of human physiology and development.

My course offerings and teaching experience involved the delivering, development, and instruction of multiples sections in Exercise Prescription, Exercise Physiology, Strength and Conditioning, Human Anatomy, Athletic Injuries and Management, Human Growth and Development, Motor Learning, Motor Behavior, Sport History, Society and Sport, Health and Wellness, the basics, Intro to Kinesiology, Physical Education (Sport Theory and Coaching in Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, Badminton, and Aerobic Dance).

During my Graduate work, I had the benefit of cadaver dissection through UBC medical school completing 1st year torso/organ dissection and 2nd year limb dissection with the 1st and 2nd year medical students. This was from complete, un-dissected cadavers providing me an intimate understanding of anatomy. During this time, I also instructed HKIN Functional Anatomy and Applied Physiology labs in human Kinetics focusing on the musculoskeletal systems.

In my team roles I have had an abundance of opportunities to apply and advance my skill set. For 6 seasons I assisted in the Vancouver Canucks pre-season fitness evaluation of players using the NHL and Team combine protocols. I also enjoyed appearing on the hockey series “Bell Making the Cut” as the Wingate guy (the one yelling, lol) completing the anaerobic evaluation of potential NHL players.

As a Strength Coach I have worked with Team Hockey developing young athletes from recreational to high performance levels. I also was lucky to be asked to work with the Vancouver Rowing Club as the youth development Strength Coach and Premier Team Strength Coach developing players across all spectrums of health and injury.

At UBC (Vancouver) I had the pleasure of being the Head Athletic Trainer for UBC Rugby for 2 years and then became the Head Athletic Trainer for UBC Football for an additional 2 years, during which time I went back to playing for UBC rugby. My endeavors and commitment here resulted in my acceptance into the UBC Big Block club for Varsity Athletes, Trainers, and Coaches.

This has provided me with a great deal of reward, as athletes I have worked with have been drafted into the NHL, students have gone on to fulfil their goals/plans, clients have found recovery and returned to a life either free of, or significantly reduced, in injury pain. MY passion lies with training, rehabilitating, and developing individuals across all spectrums of life.

Currently I practice our of my private clinic as a Manual Osteopathic Therapist. I also teach in the Manual Osteopathic Therapist (MOT) program through the Manual Osteopathy College of Canada (MOCC).

I look forward to working with you!
