Jacob Coelho is a licensed physiotherapist who has worked in healthcare since 2019. Early in his career, he worked with the Canadian Special Olympics powerlifting program, an experience that reflects both his sports background and his interest in creating supportive rehabilitation spaces for people with different goals, abilities, and starting points.
Jacob enjoys helping patients feel safe, understood, and ready to take the first step forward in their recovery. He brings a sports background to his clinical work and can relate to many athletes dealing with injury, frustration, and the process of returning to activity.
His clinical interests include dry needling and manual therapy, and he is working toward becoming an FCAMPT manual therapist. Jacob uses a detailed assessment process to better understand the root cause of pain, then builds a plan that may include symptom-reducing treatment, movement strategies, and home-based exercises.
Jacob brings a dedicated, empathetic, and genuine presence to care. He takes time with questions, clarifies the plan, and helps people leave with a stronger sense of where they are headed.

Approach to care
Jacob starts with a detailed assessment. He works to understand the individual, identify what may be contributing to pain, and determine which treatment strategies will be most useful.
Once the problem is clearer, Jacob blends symptom-reducing therapies with a strong emphasis on movement and home-based exercise. The plan should help during treatment while also giving people tools they can use between sessions.
He also values creating an inclusive rehabilitation space. Recovery can feel intimidating, especially when pain, injury, or uncertainty gets in the way of movement. Jacob works to make care feel supportive and collaborative so each patient can take their next step with more confidence.
Quick tip
For people with sedentary jobs, set a 30-minute timer on your computer, watch, or phone. Use it as a gentle reminder to stand up, shake out your limbs, and reset your posture throughout the day.
Outside the clinic
Jacob loves sports and staying active outside work, especially golf, hockey, and hiking.
That active background comes through in his care: he understands the pull to get back to the things you enjoy, and he works with patients to make that return feel clear, steady, and achievable.
