Presented By
Jessica DeMars
BSc.P.T.
Jessica graduated from the University of Alberta in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in
Physical Therapy (with distinction). She practiced in a private setting and continued her education with numerous post-graduate courses. In 2006, her focus shifted toward learning about the impact breathing has on health. Since that time, she has attended numerous courses and gained in-depth knowledge in treating breathing pattern disorders and unexplained breathlessness.
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jessica quickly recognized that infections were resulting in debilitating ongoing symptoms for many and that this would have a major impact on the population. She has worked to improve her knowledge of other post-infectious and complex illnesses, from which we take our learning for Long COVID. She has become an ally, an advocate, and has been a part of the Long COVID Physio board since its inception in 2021. Jessica has developed several courses and webinars on Long COVID to assist with knowledge translation to allied health professionals, in addition to creating programming for those living with Long COVID.
