Jelimark (Jeli) Alvarez was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta and graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Kinesiology in 2018. In November 2023, he moved to Surrey, BC and is enjoying this new transition of life.

Jelimark’s passion for Kinesiology stemmed from when he first suffered a debilitating knee injury in 2012 that required two surgical operations. Throughout his rehabilitation process, he built a rapport with the clinicians treating him, finding out how they got to where they were, and that’s when he first heard about Kinesiology. With a passion for wanting to help people and to continuously know more about the human body, Jelimark was motivated to venture in this field. He simple believes and values wanting others to feel and move better so they can “move in life to the fullest”.

He has worked in a physiotherapy clinic as both a Return-to-Work Kinesiologist and some experience working in Long-Term Disability as well. His most recent work consisted of conducting Preventative Health Assessments to provide recommendations addressing the gaps and barriers of a patient’s functional health. Jelimark also has experience in conducting many Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) for rehabilitation or occupational health purposes.

Outside of work, Jelimark loves to play basketball (plus any other sport!), snowboard, socialize, play video games, and is still exploring the Lower Mainland.
