Jonathan Poon
Physiotherapist, Clinical Pilates Instructor
BSc(Kin), MPthy, ISM
What is your background & training?
I completed my Masters in Physiotherapy at the University of Queensland in 2010 and had been working as a physiotherapist in Brisbane, Australia, until moving back to Vancouver in November 2016. Prior to that, I worked as a Registered Kinesiologist following my completion of my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Certificates in Health and Fitness and Applied Human Nutrition from Simon Fraser University in 2006.
I completed my Integrated systems model (ISM) training with Diane Lee in 2019. I have extensive training in Clinical Pilates and am a certified Pilates Instructor through Polestar Pilates. I am also certified in Musculoskeletal Acupuncture and Dry Needling through Combined Health.
What inspired to choose this career path?
I started in Kinesiology and movement based training. That led to my diving deeper into Physiotherapy to learn more about the injury side of exercise. For me, Clinical Pilates was a perfect bridge between the two worlds. In the end, it is all about learning and knowing how to move better!
Why do you choose to work at Treloar?
When I first began working at Treloar, it was their commitment to offering Clinical Pilates that most interested me. Because I have an extensive background in that area, I was interested in being on a team that realized the incredible benefits that Clinical Pilates can offer.
What are you personally passionate about?
I am mostly passionate about spending quality time with my friends and family. I also love to do yoga and lots of outdoor sports.
