About FORTIS
FORTIS Spine & Sport, located in Kanata, is Ottawa’s leading sports therapy experience. We strive to integrate the latest, evidence-backed treatments into our practice, such as Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS).
The FORTIS clinical approach is popular among athletic populations and Dr. Jon and his team often have the opportunity to consult with athletes of the NHL, NFL, CFL, NCAA, CIS and Team Canada.
The FORTIS treatment philosophy is built around six principles of care: Function, Optimization, Recovery, Training, Innovation, and Synergy.

Function is a highly individualized and subjective concept as it defines your ability to move independently and safely in all avenues of life.
We want you to feel confident when participating in activities of daily living, completing work tasks, and engaging in physical activity. Your function will remain at the forefront of your care plan.

Our FORTIS team holds the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to support you during your health journey.

Recovery is a process of restoration and change through which you improve your health, live a self-directed life, and are able to reach your full potential.

Training refers to advancing our knowledge and skillset to practice and perform at our best. The FORTIS clinic offers workshops to promote patient education and professional development events.

We bring the top evidence-based methods and techniques to you. Our providers regularly seek out opportunities to refine skills and expand knowledge wherever possible. This allows us to bring new knowledge to you during your appointments. New challenges drive new strategies, leading to faster results.
