Meet Kayla Clarke!
Kayla Clarke (Nguyen) is a physiotherapist who is extremely passionate about what she does. Although you will be just one-on-one with her, you can expect an energetic and vibrant environment. She wants nothing more than to help you get back to living your best life.
Growing up on the east coast of Canada playing everything from competitive hockey, to soccer, to softball – she is no stranger to a wide variety in sports (and and all the injuries that come with it!). On top of that, she completed her Bachelor of Kinesiology at Memorial University of Newfoundland, followed up by completing her MSc. PT in Glasgow, Scotland, before moving back home to Canada. She has done plenty of post-grad training in dry needling, manual therapy, sport rehab, and more! She loves helping everyone from the classic weekend warriors, busy parents, competetive athletes/gym-goers, and seniors!
Present day, Kayla is found adventuring outdoors with her two young daughters & husband, trying to get out to the rockies for hiking/camping or snowboarding, squeezing in a workout, pretending she enjoys running, obsessing over her latest read, drinking copious amounts of coffee and enjoying some delicious local beer. She’ll also talk your ear off about anything related to travelling the world!
Meet Jason Luo!
Jason’s goal as a physiotherapist is to support individuals throughout their rehabilitation journey by empowering them through movement and education. He is committed to helping patients build confidence in their bodies and take an active role in their recovery. He is a strong advocate for a collaborative, patient-centered approach to care, where each individual’s goals play a central role in guiding the rehabilitation process.
He has experience working in both public and private healthcare settings, which has allowed him to support individuals across a broad age range and with a wide variety of health concerns. This diverse background has helped him develop a well-rounded understanding of physical health issues. Jason completed both his Bachelors of Science and Masters of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta. He is certified in functional dry needling and has received further training in vestibular rehabilitation.
Jason has a strong interest in strength training and athletic performance, supported by an extensive background in competitive powerlifting. He has held multiple national and world records and is a multi-time member of the Canadian National Powerlifting Team. His experience at the highest levels of competition brings valuable insight into strength development, injury prevention, and performance optimization.
In his spare time, you can find Jason lifting weights in his home gym, as well as on the ice playing beer league hockey. He is an absolute die hard Oilers Fan.
