Jason Giesbrecht
MScP.T., B.A.
Jason Giesbrecht is a seasoned physiotherapist and healthcare executive with 30 years of experience spanning the full continuum of care – from rehabilitation and primary care to acute care, mental health and substance use, long-term care, and digital health. Known for translating complex health system challenges into practical, results-driven solutions, Jason has led large-scale system wide transformation initiatives and clinical operations.
Throughout his career, Jason has held senior leadership roles – including Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer – across both public and private healthcare sectors. His entrepreneurial ventures reflect the same drive for innovation: he co-founded PhysioFITT, a technology-integrated mobile physiotherapy company offering in-home and online services across British Columbia, and is the principal consultant at RehabLeadership, a global platform providing leadership development resources to rehabilitation professionals. His blog, PhysioFuturist, explores the future of physiotherapy through the lens of technology and innovation.
Jason has taught graduate-level leadership courses in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia and at Fiji National University, with academic partnerships spanning Western Canada, the South Pacific, and the Middle East. He has facilitated numerous leadership and emotional intelligence workshops, co-authored e-books on leadership, and been published in peer-reviewed medical journals. His global reach extends beyond the classroom. Jason has led health system improvement projects in Central America, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia, applying his leadership experience and practical knowledge to strengthening health systems internationally.
Outside of work, Jason can usually be found in the Canadian backcountry – hiking, running, skiing, camping, mountain biking or fishing – with family close by.
