Hello, again

It’s officially a new year and we thought we’d take a moment to reintroduce ourselves. 

So…hello again. 

Comox Physio is a multidisciplinary healthcare clinic providing physiotherapy and registered massage therapy services to the wonderful people of the Comox Valley and beyond. We have been around doing what we love since the early 90s. 

Our physical location is 264 Anderton Road in Comox, but we also provide virtual appointments to anyone living in BC. 

The clinic is owned by registered physiotherapist, Shannon Lawrence. 

Cassie Nobbs, Emily Petter, Dianne Aikman, Cynthia Irvine, Jacqueline Perkins, Jodi Williams, Stephanie Galitzine, and Iowna Gradowska make up the rest of the registered physiotherapist team and Rachel Hatfield is our registered massage therapist. 

Our friendly and competent administrative team includes our Office Manager, Angela Powell. She is joined by our medical office assistants: Jasmine, Zoë, Kari, and Kari.

Physiotherapists are primary healthcare professionals, which means, you do not need a physician referral to come and see us. We are trained to thoroughly assess and diagnose within our scope of practice. If something arises that is medical in nature, we will communicate with your physician to get you the attention you need. 

Most insurance plans cover our services and we are able to directly bill many of them. Check with your provider to see what you’re eligible for or ask our admin team how the insurance process may work for you. 

Booking with us is convenient and easy. Give us a call at 250-339-6221 or use our online scheduler here.

We look forward to working with you.
