Hello! Welcome to my business. I’m Jessica Pemberton, owner of Heartbeat Athletic Therapy. I have been a Certified Athletic Therapist since 2014 and a Registered Massage Therapist since 2017, as well as hold a valid First Responder certificate.

 

I  work primarily in Hamilton, Ontario. I am currently building my personal gym space where I will offer small group circuit training/sweat sessions as well as 1:1 rehab and prehab sessions (March 2024). My Athletic Therapy and Massage Therapy practice is very similar with the goal being find the cause and treat the cause, whether that is with manual therapy, exercise, other modalities and/or referrals.

 

Athletic Therapists are known for working with athletes, of course, it is in our name. BUT! We also work with any one with acute or chronic injuries in need of rehabilitation, as well as people who need pre-hab or just want to get moving again. Some common injuries I typically treat include sprains and strains of the ankles, knees, neck and shoulders, as well as concussions. I also love working with people who have had joint replacements and other surgeries.

 

As an Athletic Therapist, I work in both clinical setting and field settings. My field experience includes working with high school sports teams in the Hamilton/Burlington area, JUEL Basketball, junior hockey teams (Red Wings & Barracudas) and the Canadian Women’s Hockey League (Brampton Thunder/Markham Thunder). In addition, I have worked on film sets as a First Responder and Set Manager & as the medical director of the JUEL Basketball League 2022-2023 season.

 

Athletic Therapy has given me many opportunities to work with some very special people and I look forward to meeting more! Reach out via my email and book an appointment. I look forward to seeing ya’ll on a playing surface somewhere and in my clinic.
