About me

In 2010, Jonathan graduated with a five year Master program in Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy, Specialized in Sports and Manual Therapy, at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium. Barely graduated, he realized physiotherapy alone wasn’t satisfying his belief and capabilities to improve injuries, thus he decided to profound himself into the holistic approach of Osteopathy.

After spending three years specializing within the Osteopathic world, Jonathan now enjoys treating injuries in a holistic way. This means Jonathan will look beyond a local injury and search for other possible mechanisms throughout the body as cause of injury. Techniques used vary from manual therapy, soft tissue, trigger points, lymphatic system stimulation, arterial flow stimulation, fascia, visceral, and others.

Being fluent in French, Dutch, and English, Jonathan quickly made his way through different top sport competition as therapist combined with practice in private clinics surrounded by high level therapists and professors.

In 2012, he worked for the “F.B.R.B.”, Belgium National Rugby Team, followed by the Belgium National Judo Team in 2013. After this experience, he searched for another type of sport to learn from and found this as head physiotherapist for the Royal Beerschot Hockey Club, Men’s 1st division, in 2013-2014.

After working in Vancouver for six years, Jonathan decided to move to West Kelowna with his family to enjoy a different life style and pace.

Besides work and studies, Jonathan has always been very interested in playing sports such as rugby, soccer, tennis, running, kite surfing, dancing (University dance teacher 2009-2010), skiing and athletics.
