START A New Year with a great Canadian Joke! 1 flaw Canadian's dont go to hell !!!

Two Canadians die and end up in Hell. Satan decides to pay them a visit, so he walks into their room and sees them talking and laughing. Confused, he asks them why they're happy.

They tell him, "Well, we're so sick of the cold where we're from, and this place is nice and toasty."

Satan, annoyed, storms away and goes to Hell's boiler room, where he turns up the temperature.

He goes back to the Canadians' room, along the way being begged by all sorts of people to put the heating back down. He enters the room to see the Canadians having a barbecue. Furiously, he asks them what they're doing.

"Well, we can't pass up this wonderful weather without getting out the barbecue!"

Satan realizes he's been doing the wrong thing. He goes to the boiler room and turns it down until it's at a colder temperature than ever seen on earth.

He knows he's won now, so he goes back to the Canadians' room, only to see them jumping up and down in excitement. He shouts at them in fury, "WHY ARE YOU STILL HAPPY?!?!?!"

They look at him and shout at the same time, "Hell froze over! That means the Leafs won!" See less

Our Story

Physiotherapy is a science based healthcare profession which views movement as medicine. Physiotherapists aim to identify and make the most of movement ability by health promotion, preventative advice, treatment and rehabilitation. The core skills used by a physiotherapist include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and the application of electrophysical modalities.

We believe it is vital to take note of psychological, cultural, and social factors which influence our clients. We believe in encouraging our patients to take an active role to help themselves to make the best of their independence and function.

Bob Jacobsen is the principle physiotherapist at the clinic. He graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1977 and then spent the first 10 years of his career honing my clinical skills at a variety of clinics around Canada. For the past 20+ years he has focused on the assessment and treatment of spinal disorders and post-concussion syndromes. Before moving to Nanaimo he spent 7 years as the Triage Clinician for the Spine Neurosurgical Program at Foothills Hospital.

In addition, He is the only Credentialed McKenzie Therapist on Vancouver Island. The McKenzie Method is a philosophy of active patient involvement and education that is trusted and used by practitioners around the world for neck, back, and extremity problems.

Maggie Murphy has a special interest in assessing and treating biomechanical problems involving the lower extremity. She got her start in the orthotic industry as the Western Canadian Manager for Footmaxx, where she was directly involved in training doctors how to assess and treat their clients. She then found her true passion in working directly her own clients. She has over 15 years’ experience in the orthotic industry to insure her clients receive the best possible solutions for their foot and leg complaints.

Maggie is also trained in the use of the BTE Multi Cervical Unit which is an evidence based tool which objectively evaluates cervical active range of motion (ROM) and isometric strength in multiple different positions. These measurements are used to create an individualized dynamic strength program that is performed on the machine with guidance. is the most effective and complete system for the assessment and rehabilitation of patients suffering from chronic neck pain. It has been accepted worldwide as ‘The Missing Link in Neck Rehabilitation’.

Bridge Physiotherapy will assist you in achieving your highest level of physical functioning by providing you with a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs. We will assess your posture, range of motion (ROM), strength and other physical abilities. Then we will design a personalized treatment and exercise program to assist in alleviating pain, restore joint ROM, increase muscle strength and co-ordination and maximizing independence.
