Jeff is a 2017 graduate of the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy. Following graduation, he spent several years practicing as an Registered Massage Therapist in Coquitlam, BC, working alongside a well-versed, movement-based team of chiropractors, physiotherapists, and kinesiologists. This collaborative environment shaped Jeff’s appreciation for integrated healthcare and the value of open communication between practitioners to help patients move from injury or discomfort back to a healthy, active lifestyle. With a background in powerlifting Jeff developed a strong interest in active approaches to soft tissue therapy and myofascial techniques. He was drawn to the consistent results these methods provided across a wide range of individuals, from athletes to office workers.

Jeff believes there is no such thing as a “cookie-cutter” treatment plan. Every person presents differently, and care should reflect that. His treatments are tailored to the individual, combining clinical reasoning with movement-based strategies to support long-term recovery and performance. Having personally experienced a number of injuries through powerlifting, downhill mountain biking, and backcountry skiing — including concussions, fractures, and ligament injuries — Jeff understands firsthand the physical and mental challenges that come with rehabilitation. This perspective allows him to connect with patients navigating their own recovery journeys. Outside of the clinic, Jeff can be found powerlifting, skiing, or mountain biking throughout the mountains of Kelowna and British Columbia, or walking his pitbull, Porter.

Dr. Matt Ward, DC

Dr. Matt Ward is a chiropractor, mountain athlete, and performance driven clinician with a background rooted in hard work and high performance. Before earning his Bachelor of Kinesiology from UBC, Matt spent his younger years framing houses, logging, and working as a rappel forest firefighter in the steep mountains of British Columbia. Those experiences shaped his respect for physical resilience, durability, and practical strength.

While at UBC, he competed in collegiate golf, varsity track and field, and the 2014 and 2015 CrossFit Regionals. After graduation, he worked extensively as a strength and conditioning coach, training everyone from general population clients to professional athletes. This foundation continues to influence his clinical approach today by blending rehabilitation, strength development, and long term performance.

Outside the clinic, Matt is most at home in the mountains. Mountain hunting, mountain biking, backcountry skiing, and golf are not just hobbies, they are part of how he connects with the community and lives the lifestyle he helps others return to.

As a Titleist Performance Institute certified provider, Matt has worked closely with golf professionals and athletes of all levels, helping players move better, swing more efficiently, and play with confidence.

Matt founded Origin Health with a vision of building more than just a clinic.
