Originally from Canmore, AB, Jessica graduated from the University of Calgary in 2009 with her Bachelor of Kinesiology in Mind Sciences. Shortly after, she attended the University of Alberta in Edmonton where she graduated with her Masters of Science in Physical Therapy in 2011. Jessica started her career as a physiotherapist by working in private practice clinics in Calgary and it did not take long for her to realize this type of practice was where she was meant to be.

Since graduation, she has continued to work in several outpatient private clinics Alberta, Saskatchewan and now BC. She is currently trained in Graston Technique, kinesiotaping, manual therapy and myofascial release techniques, vestibular and visual therapy, as well as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. While in Saskatechewan, Jessica had the privilege of being the team trainer and physiotherapist for the Junior ‘A’ Estevan Bruins Hockey Club. When she moved to BC in 2015, she continued her work with hockey teams, holding the same role with the Junior ‘B’ Summerland Steam Hockey Club. This is what prompted her initial interest in concussion care. Since then, Jessica has taken training in vestibular and visual rehabilitation and acute/chronic concussion management, and has become experienced with treating these types of patients.

Outside of the clinic, Jessica likes spending time with her family and dog, doing yoga, casual running and taking in the Okanagan sunshine.

Originally from Montreal, QC, Keroles’ path to physiotherapy began during his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry at Concordia University. As he built a deeper understanding of how the human body functions, he found himself drawn to a career where that knowledge could translate directly into helping people move and feel better. He went on to complete both his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Physiotherapy at the Université de Montréal, graduating in 2025.

Keroles is an evidence-based practitioner who tailors each session to the individual in front of him, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. He has a genuine thirst for knowledge, always looking to learn the next technique or deepen his understanding of the body, which keeps his practice current and his treatment plans thoughtful and specific. He began his career in the South Okanagan, where he treats a diverse caseload spanning musculoskeletal, neurological, and vestibular conditions, and is trained in peripheral and vertebral manipulation and vestibular rehabilitation.

Outside the clinic, Keroles is bilingual in French and English. He loves spending time outdoors, whether hiking, mountaineering, or cross-country skiing, and balances that with weight training and jogging closer to home. He also finds joy in cooking for the people he cares about and in teaching, always happy to pass on what he’s learned.
