Christina Sequeira, RCC

focusing on population and public health.

Her pursuit of graduate school stemmed from her employment with the UBC School of

Kinesiology. There, she applied evidence-based practices of blending athletic training principles

into mainstream fitness for older adults. She incorporated clinical criteria within health screening

to create highly tailored exercise programs for clients that were executed with specialized

guidance by health care professionals. This approach laid the foundation for her major paper.

She saw tremendous results while working collaboratively with physicians and physiotherapists.

Christina’s diverse skill-set enables her to work with clientele who have coexisting chronic

health and musculoskeletal conditions. While her career started in cardiac rehabilitation with risk

factor and disease management within the healthcare system, her skills expanded into

prehabilitation and active rehabilitation in community health.

Her approach to rehab and wellness involves the establishment of outcome measures to help

guide success, all while educating clients every step of the way throughout the rehabilitation

process. She believes in empowering each person with knowledge of movement mechanics and

exercise physiology, so fitness gains can be achieved safely while at the gym AND in daily life.

In Christina’s spare time, she can be found on a volleyball court playing recreationally with her

husband or coaching her daughters’ teams at both school and club levels. When she is not

coaching, she is working on special projects volunteering with her family who believes in giving

back to the community to reduce social isolation by building connections.
