Jean Hu
PhysiotherapistSpeaks: EnglishJean completed both a Bachelor of Kinesiology followed by a Master in Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia. Prior to her physiotherapy career, Jean worked as a kinesiologist, student athletic trainer for UBC varsity teams, movement and self- management instructor for patients with chronic pain and personal trainer.

Through her training, she understands the importance of injury prevention and bridging the gap between rehab and training. She believes that physical therapy is beyond rehabilitation for injury, and is about optimizing the body for the future. She brings a multi-faceted philosophy by looking at the whole body for contributing factors to injury and sub-optimal function.
