Sarah Jones

VanCity Physio

In 2023, Sarah relocated to Vancouver from Cape Town, South Africa, a decision that had been in the works for 13 years and was finally realized. Having obtained her BSc in physiotherapy from the University of Cape Town in 1998, Sarah dedicated herself to various settings within the field, including rural public hospitals, private hospitals, and eventually establishing her own private clinic. By 2011, she sensed the need to invigorate her professional journey, leading her to pursue a Masters in manipulative therapy, which she successfully completed in 2013. This advanced degree reignited her fervor for physiotherapy, offering a comprehensive exploration into joint mechanics, pain science, clinical reasoning, and effective communication. Throughout her career, Sarah has not only maintained her private practice but also ventured into academia, educating both undergraduate and postgraduate students across a spectrum of physiotherapy subjects, ranging from cervical spine issues to interpersonal communication skills. Her areas of expertise encompass headaches, neck pain, and pelvic floor physiotherapy, areas she holds a deep interest in. Sarah’s involvement in a diverse array of sports, including volleyball, basketball, running, biking, and boxing, has cultivated a keen understanding of sports-related injuries and their rehabilitation processes. Committed to staying abreast of advancements in her field, she actively pursues continuing education opportunities through national and international courses, literature, and conferences, recognizing the importance of evidence-based practices in delivering optimal patient care. Outside of her professional endeavors, Sarah treasures spending quality time with her husband and young family, exploring the natural beauty of Vancouver and its surroundings through hiking, and indulging her passion for music by playing the saxophone.
