Jordan was introduced to massage therapy after recovering from a snowboarding accident which left him with a prognosis of lifelong chronic back pain. He was told by the hospital physician that his snowboarding days were over. After being treated regularly with massage therapy for his injuries, Jordan became fascinated with the amount of anatomical knowledge his RMT had and was amazed at the results from treatment. This led to the recovery of his pain and the discovery of his career. By combining massage therapy and yoga, Jordan eventually made a full recovery from chronic pain and was able to return to snowboarding pain-free.
Jordan decided that he would pursue a career in Massage Therapy, and attended the 3000 hour RMT program at Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy and graduated in 2011, where he was appointed as the student-mentor for his graduating class. He did two internships with a physiotherapist clinic and provided treatment for the general public, as well as a number of Olympic athletes, in Whistler, BC. After practicing at Squamish Physiotherapy for several years, Jordan relocated to Kelowna to be closer to family.
Jordan founded Mission Health and Wellness in Kelowna, BC in 2016. He uses massage therapy to treat patients with a wide variety of conditions.
Jordan has additional training in the assessment and treatment of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine and has participated in manual therapy research for frozen shoulder. Jordan also has additional training in therapeutic exercise, osteopathic treatment of nerve impingement, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, kinesiotaping, and the treatment of edema. Whiplash has been a major focus of Jordan's practice, as he regularly treats patients who have suffered from head and neck trauma, and often focuses on low back and pelvic pain conditions. Jordan enjoys the variety of running a massage therapy practice and helps individuals in all walks of life, from office workers to professional athletes.
While not at the office, Jordan spends much of his time studying languages, psychology, and reading non-fiction. He finds therapeutic exercise, yoga, meditation, and massage therapy are a vital part of his own self-care. Jordan enjoys latin dancing, yoga, snowboarding, spending time with friends and family, cooking, gardening and international traveling. He has supervised the RMT student clinic at Vancouver Career College (Kelowna campus) and has a passion for sharing what he has learned and studied with his patients and students. Jordan’s volunteer experience includes teaching English and sea turtle conservation in Costa Rica, and house construction for poor families in Tijuana, Mexico. Jordan is fluent in Spanish, has basic Italian comprehension, and is currently studying beginner’s Japanese.
