Jenna graduated with a master’s degree in Physiotherapy from the University of Alberta in 2012. Prior to physiotherapy, she attended the University of Manitoba to obtain a bachelor’s degree in Athletic Therapy, Kinesiology.
During her time as an athletic therapist, Jenna worked with a variety of athletes including hockey, track and field, basketball, football, volleyball and soccer.
With specialized training in assessing and treating women’s and men’s pelvic health conditions; Jenna can help treat urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pre and post prostatectomy, pregnancy and post-partum issues. She also offers birth prep sessions for pregnant patients and their partners. Pelvic physiotherapy can help manage pelvic pain from sources such as endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, pelvic girdle pain, vulvodynia, dyspareunia, vaginismus, and pudendal neuralgia. Any type of pelvic dysfunction is assessed from a whole-body perspective and not just the pelvis.
Jenna believes in helping people improve their quality of life and strives to provide a safe and nurturing environment for her patients with any type of pelvic concern.
Jenna has experience dealing with all ages (children to elderly), and all stages of injury (acute to chronic) as a result of sporting/recreational activities, post- surgical, motor vehicle accidents, repetitive injuries, poor biomechanics or chronic conditions/diseases. She believes in assisting patients return to their normal activities of daily living with functional exercise, manual therapy, pain management and education.
Outside the clinic, Jenna enjoys spending time with her son, family and friends, exercising, being outdoors, camping, reading and cooking.
