Community Involvement

Remmert’s involvement with CFC goes back for over 20 years. It started as a soccer coach to all his 3 kids from U5-18. The highlight was winning the BC Provincials Championship with a great group of girls and parents at the U18 age group in 2015.

After his kids moved on to University, Remmert has continued to work closely with CFC head coach Glenn Wilson. He took up the position as a technical director and has been responsible for injury management and prevention for all the youth teams.

Together they are responsible for teaching parents and coaches proper injury management and prevention using in-house education sessions and CFC website clips.

Having experienced arthritis himself and seen it in many members of his family (ankylosing spondylitis), Jeremy has a unique perspective and motivation to help people in Chilliwack with arthritis care. Whether it be his clinical work, his work with custom knee bracing, or his work in telerehabilitation, he frequently finds his career converging on arthritis management.

He is currently working with the Arthritis Society and local surgeons to bring better arthritis care and are resources to Chilliwack to assist in the goal of improving these services in the Eastern Valley.

Remmert has been fortunate to be part and work with the Chilliwack Special Olympics soccer group for the last 3 years alongside head coach Delaney Kirkness. This group of amazing athletes has given him more than he could ever give them. They have taught Remmert many life lessons: that participation is more enjoyable than winning, that it’s good at times to show your emotions in the open, and not to sweat the small stuff.

Every time he is leaving the field after helping out at the soccer pitch he leaves with a smile on his face that is larger than when he came.

At FusionPhysio, we believe that a strong, continued relationship with the primary academic training centre in British Columbia is critical to continuing to our clinical excellence.
