As a lifelong athlete with 14 years as a competitive swimmer—triathlete, runner, and golfer—I bring both personal and professional insight to my work as a physiotherapist.

My journey includes earning a Kinesiology degree from Lake Superior State University in Michigan, where I had the privilege of working with NCAA athletes across various sports. Throughout my undergraduate years, I also served as a certified personal trainer, working with clients and cultivating a deep commitment to helping people achieve their goals. I later graduated from the Master of Physical Therapy Program at UBC in the fall of 2024. My true passion lies in golf, where I aspire to transform training by integrating the latest research in performance and injury prevention to develop individualized plans for each golfer. With lifelong connections in the golfing community and my current role at Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club in Vancouver,

I am dedicated to bringing a fresh, informed approach to injury rehabilitation and athletic development, grounded in a genuine understanding of the highs and lows that come with sports and recovery. In my practice, I work to create a supportive, team-centered environment where patients feel both relaxed and motivated to reach their milestones. Whether I’m working with athletes or anyone pursuing better physical health, I am here to empower each client on their journey to success.

Dr. Jeff Almon is the owner of MVMTLAB Sports Performance Clinic and an affiliate faculty member of the University of Western States. He is a Doctor of Chiropractic.

He played college football with the University of Calgary Dinos from 1997 to 2002, co-captaining the team in his last two seasons and graduating with a B.Sc. in Exercise Physiology. He was drafted into the CFL (Canadian Football League) where he played as a fullback, first for the Calgary Stampeders then for the BC Lions. He ended his professional football career in 2004 when he was accepted into the CMCC’s Doctor of Chiropractic program.

Since earning his DC in 2008, Dr. Almon has consulted and treated numerous professional athletes & sports teams, including the Chinese National Speed Skating Team, PGA Tour athletes, Alpine Ski Ontario, FIVB Volleyball athletes, Vancouver Canucks development program, Canadian Women’s soccer team, professional sprint cyclists and multiple Olympic athletes in various disciplines. He is also a coach for the West Vancouver Track & Field Club’s varsity team.

Dr. Jeff founded MVMTLAB in 2013 with a vision to transform the health care industry by changing the way practitioners approach a patient’s pain /injury diagnosis and the subsequent treatment plan. He takes a special interest in complex cases of chronic pain. Dr Jeff treats patients with a focus on dynamic neuromuscular stabilization and reactive stability. Patients play an active role in their own recovery journey. Everyone is welcome - athlete or not.

He is the creator of MVMTLAB’s Neuroplasticity Gym and its two group classes : Ground Control and BAZOOKA. He designed these programs to accelerate an injured patient’s recovery time. Both classes can also serve as a pre-hab protocol to prevent injuries, by detecting imbalances and weaknesses before it is too late. The programs help reset movement patterns and muscle activation capability, thereby returning the brain & body to their pre-injury state. Ground Control is whole-body focused, whereas BAZOOKA is specifically for shoulders.

Dr. Jeff is always excited to share his knowledge and ideas on how to create a more functional human experience.

Dr Jeff works at our Gastown location from Tuesday to Friday, and at our North Vancouver location on Mondays.
