JACKIE WILSON

Jackie Wilson is the sole proprietor of JW Therapy as well as the owner of Next Level Injury Management, a personalized sports medicine clinic providing athletic therapy, Muscle Activation Techniques®, and wellness services such as massage therapy and kinesiology since 2020.


 

Growing up in Thunder Bay I’ve always had a passion for sports and health. My curiosity in human anatomy and biomechanics propelled me to study and graduate with a double major in Psychology and Kinesiology from Lakehead University. Followed by, in 2006, becoming a Certified Athletic Therapist in Calgary from Mount Royal College.

 

I worked in several rehab clinics focusing on musculoskeletal injuries and preventative rehab with people of all ages and athletic abilities, from the weekend warrior, the hockey player, and to pre and post surgical patient rehab. Most of my experience has been involved with sports teams; to name a few, from Canadian Junior B football, to baseline concussion assessments for Junior A Hockey in Northwestern Ontario and northern Minnesota.

 

My main passion (or obsession) is Muscle Activation Techniques®, where I am a Specialist working towards my Mastery level training. I address your pain or injury by assessing  and correcting the root cause (“the why?”), and not focusing only on the symptoms. Usually, there is an underlying muscle weakness, joint instability, or an imbalance somewhere in the body. Once this root cause is corrected, the body functions better and with less pain. Due to this experience, I am the only provider in Northern Ontario working with this unique skill set, as both an athletic therapist and MAT® practitioner.

 

Over the past 5 years, I've moved my practice as a student training from my basement, to a professional in your homes, to multidisciplinary clinics, to opening my own clinic, through multiple covid shutdowns, to now being a fulltime clinical practice. JW Therapy is located at  Next Level Injury Management and found on the south side in Thunder Bay. 

 

When I am not at Next Level Injury Management, I can be found enjoying the great outdoors. I love to go hiking and snowshoeing, losing my golf balls on the fairway, camping in my tent trailer, planning my next road trip to see my favorite band, or taking in new views on my next adventure. I’d be hard pressed not to mention my love for tacos and coffee, which are my life blood.
