Bob Jacobsen
Bob graduated as a physiotherapist from the University of Manitoba in 1977. Since then he has gathered vast clinical experience. He spent the first 10 years of his career honing his clinical skills at a variety of clinics across Canada. For the past 18 years he has specialized in the assessment and treatment of spinal disorders. Currently his primary clinical focus is on active rehabilitation and education of the patient to be self reliant in managing his/her own back and/or neck pain. He is the only physiotherapist on Vancouver Island to achieve a MDT (Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy) designation through the McKenzie Institute. Bob has also had an active research interest which compliments his clinical practice. His research interest is in the area of assessment and treatment of neck pain and headaches following motor vehicle accidents. Outside of the clinic Bob’s interests lie in kayaking, running, and hiking. He is hoping, with his recent move to the west coast, to learn how to sail ,surf, and mountain bike!
