About
South Island Physiotherapy is a multidisciplinary rehabilitation center in Victoria offering physiotherapy, registered massage therapy, kinesiology, chiropractic care, and pelvic health services led by three registered physical therapists.
Senior Care Path Summary
South Island Physiotherapy offers comprehensive rehabilitation services suited to seniors managing arthritis, mobility loss, and recovery from falls or surgery. The clinic features balance retraining and pre/post-surgical care programs designed to restore function and independence. All services, physiotherapy, massage therapy, kinesiology, and chiropractic, operate as an integrated team under one roof, eliminating the need for referrals across multiple clinics.
The clinic is located at 888 Short Street in Saanich with ample parking at the back and side of the building, serving seniors throughout Greater Victoria. Virtual physiotherapy is also available for patients across British Columbia who prefer or need remote care. The team emphasizes building lasting physical capacity rather than managing symptoms indefinitely, with care plans tailored to help seniors return to meaningful activities like gardening, spending time with family, and staying active.
All physiotherapists hold advanced credentials and active registration with the College of Physical Therapists of BC. The clinic accepts ICBC and WorkSafeBC direct billing, and provides coordinated multidisciplinary care without gaps between providers, a significant advantage for older adults managing complex recovery needs.

I only know Colin here but he's excellent. He's helped both me and my wife. I'd also like to mention that their receptionist is fantastic - super pleasant, efficient, good communication.

I had an exceptional initial assessment with Colin (physiotherapist) today!! I've been putting off rehab for a couple injuries for a long time and I couldn't believe how much he had figured out by just chatting with me, which he then confirmed through further physical assessment. He was kind, very knowledgeable and offered current, evidence based advice with functional rehab options. In addition, the reception staff were lovely, went out of their way to notice and wish me a happy early birthday and provided a very welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend South Island physiotherapy 👆

I had a great experience at South Island Physiotherapy. My practitioner, Kaitlyn was very approachable and explained things in a way that was clear and easy to understand. The assessment and treatment was delivered in a way that was supportive, patient centred, and trauma informed. Would recommend.
