Jenny Dea empowers her clients by providing them with the knowledge and skills they need to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. Jenny uses a combination of manual therapy, exercise, IMS, therapeutic cupping as well as good old-fashioned motivation to set her clients on the right path to achieve their goals.

She has vast experience with post-op protocols: ACL reconstruction, shoulder stabilization, rotator cuff repair, total hip/knee replacements, to name a few.
Jenny enjoys splitting her time between the clinic and the sporting arena for on-field management.

She has collaborated with and has been mentored by some of the fields leading neuro-optometrists, neuro-psychiatrists, physiotherapists and sport medicine physicians. This range of experience has allowed her to develop a unique skill-set when treating both acute concussions and post-concussion syndrome.

Marcel enjoys working with people of all ages and from all walks of life and specializes in treating low back pain and injuries of the hip, knee, and ankle. As an Olympic weightlifter himself, Marcel has a special interest in working with strength athletes and people who are interested in strength training.
