PROFESSIONAL EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY

Greetings! My name is Jane Nettleton, and I am a kinesiologist (BCAK) and clinical exercise physiologist (CSEP-CEP). I currently live on Vancouver Island, BC with my partner and our lovely rescue pup. Originally I am from South Africa, but grew up mostly in Alberta before moving to BC for school. I love to travel, explore Van Isle, and be outside as much as the rain will allow me!

​

I graduated the University of British Columbia - Okanagan with my Bachelors of Human Kinetics degree, and then attended Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, where I completed my Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology.

​

Since then, I have been working in different fitness facilities and clinics through BC, and have landed the dream job of a kinesiologist at Active Solutions Health + Sport in Ladysmith, BC. Here I work with multiple populations in-person, such as those with musculoskeletal injuries, ICBC claims, athletes wanting to progress their performance, those recovering from surgery, and older adults wanting to improve strength and quality of life. However, my specialty is working with those who have chronic health conditions (heart conditions, diabetes, cancer, pulmonary conditions, neurological conditions) and women's health (PCOS, menopause, and pre / post natal exercise).

 

I created PEP to offer telehealth sessions to clients that do not live in the Vancouver Island area. This can be done easily from the comfort of your home through video calls. I have found this is a very effective way for people to begin or continue exercise programs, and I can work will mostly all the populations I listed above! Telehealth has progress immensely in the last few years and allows more access to health care services such as exercise therapy.

​

My goal is to help promote movement in people's lives, and find enjoyable and effective ways to keep people active. This is a process, not an event, and I am here to advise and support you as much as possible! Feel free to get in contact at any time to chat further.
