Athletic Therapy
Certified Athletic Therapists are best known for their quick-thinking on-field emergency care of professional and elite athletes. The first to respond when someone gets hurt, they are experts at injury assessment and rehabilitation. It’s that same mix of on-site care and active rehabilitation skills that makes Athletic Therapists so effective in treating the musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, and joints) injuries of all Canadians, whether on the field or in the clinic.
Athletic therapists adhere to the Sports Medicine Model of care. They treat a wide range of patients, from kids with concussions to seniors recovering from hip replacement surgery, using various manual therapies, modalities, exercise prescription and even bracing and taping. The treatment varies but the objective doesn’t: an Athletic Therapist’s goal is to help clients return to their usual activities, whether that means playing competitive sports or walking to the mailbox and back.
The scope of practice of a Certified Athletic Therapist starts with the in-depth knowledge, education, and training in the areas of the human musculoskeletal system, exercise physiology, biomechanics, and basic emergency care.

Manual Osteopathy is a hands on therapy which focuses on the treatment of disorders, conditions and injuries via the manipulation of the bones, joints and muscles. The philosophy of Osteopathy is maintain flow of the lymphatic, circulatory and nervous systems and the aim of osteopathic treatment is to aid the body back to self correction. Osteopathic practitioners are trained under the principle that the body is a whole unit and is healthy when all parts are healthy and expressing correctly. Structure and function are interrelated, so if a musculoskeletal structure is out of alignment, it causes functional limitations.

Manual Therapy & RAPID NeuroFascial Release
Jetta Pulido provides results-focused manual therapy designed to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function so you can get back to doing the activities you love. Her approach combines RAPID NeuroFascial Reset, myofascial techniques, lymphatic drainage, and Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) to address both acute and chronic conditions.
Unlike traditional relaxation-based treatments, Jetta’s sessions are focused on identifying and treating the underlying factors contributing to pain, movement restrictions, and dysfunction. Treatments are performed fully clothed and may incorporate active movement to help restore normal movement patterns and improve outcomes.
Jetta works with a wide range of concerns including sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, neck and back pain, headaches, shoulder pain, hip and knee dysfunction, post-surgical recovery, chronic pain, and mobility limitations. She also provides lymphatic drainage techniques to support recovery, reduce swelling, and promote healthy circulation.
With a background in corporate wellness, women’s health, and sports medicine, Jetta takes an individualized approach to care, creating treatment plans tailored to each client’s goals, lifestyle, and stage of recovery.
Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing persistent pain, or looking to move and feel better, Jetta’s goal is to help you achieve lasting improvements in function, performance, and quality of life.
Insurance Note: Jetta has 25 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist and manual therapy practitioner. While she previously practiced as a licensed massage therapist in Alberta, she is not currently registered as a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) in British Columbia. She is in good standing, insured and professionally regulated by National Health Practioners of Canada.
As a result, HealthSpan is unable to direct bill for Jetta’s services. Some extended health benefit plans or health spending accounts may provide reimbursement for manual therapy services; however, coverage varies by insurer and plan and cannot be gaurneteed. Feel free to check with your plan provider prior to booking if insurance reimbursement is important for you.

Book NowFrequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM)
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses very low levels of electrical current delivered at specific frequencies as part of an individualized approach to pain management, recovery, and overall wellness.
FSM may be used to support clients experiencing persistent or acute pain, muscle tension, inflammation, soft-tissue concerns, or recovery following injury. The treatment is designed to be comfortable and is often described as a subtle or barely noticeable sensation.
Jetta takes an individualized approach to FSM, selecting treatment frequencies based on each client’s symptoms, history, and treatment goals. Sessions may be used on their own or incorporated alongside Manual Therapy, RAPID NeuroFascial Reset, myofascial techniques, or other approaches when appropriate.
FSM may be particularly helpful for clients who:
- Are dealing with persistent or recurring pain
- Are recovering from an injury or surgery
- Experience muscle tension or soft-tissue discomfort
- Are looking for a gentle treatment option
- Want to complement their existing rehabilitation or manual therapy program
Treatment length can range from 30 minutes to two hours depending on the client’s needs and goals. Longer sessions may allow time to address multiple concerns or combine FSM with other individualized treatment approaches.
FSM is intended to complement—not replace—appropriate medical care, rehabilitation, or exercise-based treatment. Jetta will discuss your goals and determine whether FSM is an appropriate option for you.
