Fantastic experience: I can highly recomend South Island Physiotherapy, following my recent visit today. The friendly reception ladies managed to get me in today as I was in agony. I saw Chris Vilayphonh who I found to be very through and extremely good at getting into the muscle spasm straight away. I felt relief almost immediately after he performed (IMS) treatment. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Thank you! You're a great team.

Fantastic experience: Colin Beatty is a magician.

Fantastic experience: I was genuinely impressed with Madison and the entire team. Their hospitality was outstanding, and the process to register for direct billing was refreshingly simple and straightforward. Having just retired from the CAF, I know that dealing with VAC can be challenging at times, so having a clinic that can directly bill made the experience significantly easier and less stressful. I was initially a bit skeptical about parking in the area, but that concern quickly disappeared—there’s plenty of parking available. Overall, a great experience from start to finish.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, excellent care.

Fantastic experience: Working with Keaton has been awesome! I am seeing results after just 4 weeks. I highly recommend the clinic and their friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr Sommerfeldt for several years now. He's always able to get me moving if I tighten up or seize up.

Fantastic experience: I saw Kaitlyn for prenatal pelvic floor physio and she was incredibly helpful. She gave useful information and made me feel comfortable. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: This place is great! I’ve been to similar establishments in the past for various things and I can say South Island is the best. They cover all bases for your needs and so far Chris in physio and Madison rmt have provided an incredible amount of care with true expertise in their fields. It all starts with the friendly smiles at the front desk. Terrific staff all around. I’m happy to say I won’t be looking elsewhere in the future for any other possible treatments and I’ll be coming back for occasional tuneups when needed!

Fantastic experience: Kevin was great! I tweaked my QL doing some kettlebell snatches just before a work trip to Victoria, and it really flared up the next day. The team at South Island Physio squeezed me in last minute. Kevin gave me an adjustment and some shockwave on the painful spots, and I’m already feeling much better this evening. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Chris helped me a lot and would 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: The staff are very friendly and professional. Kaitlyn Wong listened attentively and began developing a long-term plan to address my chronic pain issue.

Fantastic experience: Just had my first appointment with Joseph. He was very professional and extremely knowledgable. He took the time to review and assess my issue and concern; while identifying the problem. He worked me to delevope an action plan and exerise program; as well as answered all my questions. I am excited and looking forward to working through this with him over the coming few weeks.

Fantastic experience: South Island Physiotherapy is the best! The staff are fantastic and every visit is a great experience. I've seen both Jason and Chris for physiotherapy and Keaton for kinesiology/exercises to help with neck, shoulder and back pain from an accident - they're all extremely knowledgeable and experienced in their practices. Everytime I enter the clinic the admins are friendly and welcoming. They always find ways to accommodate a busy schedule and make ICBC claims feel effortless. I am assured my recovery is top priority at South Island and recommend anyone who is looking to start their recovery to look no futher!

Fantastic experience: Visit with Colin amazing as always

Fantastic experience: Jason and his team are incredible! Cannot recommend their services enough. It’s rare to find service providers with so much knowledge and expertise that are also kind, empathetic and genuinely invested in your personal recovery. It’s been years since I’ve been in and not only did they remember me and ask about my family, but remembered the nuance and history of my condition to help build a treatment plan suited to my lifestyle and needs.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic! Professional and friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy staff make this a number one choice for any physiotherapy needs!

Fantastic experience: great staff, very helpful & knowledgeable!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Keaton for the past 4 months at South Island Physiotherapy. When I first started to see him I was coming off of a pretty serious injury. Right from the start, he worked with where I was at - giving me exercise that were successful even with my injury. As my body has improved he has continued to challenge me in a safe way. I have never felt so fit!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Joseph since December, and I can't speak highly enough of his excellent care, skill, and professionalism. I moved to this location to continue receiving treatments, and I'm so grateful for the difference that has made. The staff are all friendly and professional, and I'm so glad to have found this clinic. I highly recommend Joseph and the team - the quality of care provided is amazing. Thanks so much to Joseph and the team!

Fantastic experience: Alec is fabulous, I can’t say enough good things about him, same with all the other members of the team, they are all very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend coming here for a treatment!!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Dr. Sommerfeldt; he was very knowledgeable, thorough, and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I had a really fantastic experience at South Island Physiotherapy. I always felt welcomed by the staff members and very well taken care of by the physiotherapists. They are very professional, cared about my injury recovery and always encouraged me to keep going.

Fantastic experience: South Island physio has been helping me heal and treat my injuries for years. Would highly recommend to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended going here for any physio needs, I’ve been seeing Jason on and off for over a year and it’s been one of the best physio experiences. Great treatment and follow up plans as well as recommended stretches and at home exercises.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely tremendous work throughout the clinic. The staff are so lovely and understanding. I've been coming in for a few months due to my hypermobility condition making me progressively more disabled, and Arianna has made such a massive difference in my ability to just live my life and giving me a sense of empowerment that I have never had in my own body. I had never done physio before this, and everyone was patient and happy to talk me through the process. I can't recommend them enough, they do amazing work. Thank you all so much for everything you do!! You're amazing!

Fantastic experience: Very good first experience here. Front office staff are very friendly. Jason Nenzel is a pro and was very helpful finding good treatment for my carpal tunnel and a back strain. Highly recommend this business.

Fantastic experience: Jason at South Island Physiotherapy has been a game-changer for both my wife and me. He supports me with a chronic issue, not only providing short-term relief, but also giving me the tools and guidance to better manage my condition long term. When I needed orthopedic surgery, Jason created a personalized pre-habilitation and rehabilitation program, even teaming up with his kinesiologist colleague, Keaton, to ensure the best outcome. What really sets Jason and the team apart is their holistic approach; their care strengthens not just physical health, but also psychosocial wellbeing through the positive, professional relationships they build with patients. My wife and I even book back-to-back appointments and jokingly call it our version of “couples therapy.” Yes, we actually look forward to physio...who knew?! If I could give them six stars, I would. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic team, Arianna has been amazing to work with over the last few months. She created exercise plans, did some shockwave therapy, and made sure my recovery was easy to manage from start to finish. It’s a great team at South Island, and there’s no where else I’d rather go :)

Fantastic experience: Madison was amazing! I walked in with neck/shoulder pain that I have had for 6 months. I left feeling liberated from the pain and poor mobility. She was thorough; found sore areas I didn’t realize were there. I would confidently recommend her and look forward to my next visit.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, and very knowledgeable practitioners. Have me in the best shape of my life only months after a car crash. Entire process was effective, informative and fun!

Fantastic experience: The best clinic in town! 10/10 service and staff

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Alec for all your physio needs. He is professional and thorough in his assessment, and actually listens to your concerns to better understand your situation. Treatment is tailored to your needs and you leave with a plan in place to help fix the issues, not just bandage them up!

Fantastic experience: I had a visit with Jason Nenzel about a recent knee problem. Super experience, I couldn't have asked for a better assessment or a nicer physio. Jason had a great manner, investigated the issue and explained what he was checking for, and then he brought out some materials to explain in more detail about what might be going on. Knees are tricky, so it was nice to get a physio who didn't try to appear to have the "right answer" -- I've had physios in the past say erroneously, "here's what's wrong, here's what will fix it," and when that fails it's more frustrating than helpful! Jason said that ours was a working hypothesis about what was going on, and suggested things I could do to work with my injury. I'll see him again a couple of times over the next few weeks. Thank you very much JN!

Fantastic experience: Came with a really bad case of back issues for dead lifting, this is my first physio experience. The staff is great from the first time you step in, they are welcoming and happy to see you every time, I even get a welcoming bag after my first session. My physiotherapist Kaitlyn was great, her explanation about what was going out with me was really clear, made me realize what had happen and how to fix it. Super happy to go back to do my regular life and move freely.

Fantastic experience: The "all 5 star" reviews are well deserved!! Incredibly professional and confidence inspiring experience. Working with Ariana, she asks questions that go way deeper than just a fundamental physio assessment - she's incredibly knowledgeable & thorough, and has continually delivered real results. I feel really lucky to have her and SouthIslandPhysio in my corner!!

Fantastic experience: Keaton Is my Kineseologist and we work to improve my strength, speed and address imbalances so that I can compete in golf at the highest level that I can. Within a few months, we’ve already made tons of progress and the program Keaton put together for me allows me to make progress without putting too much stress on any injuries I have. My speed and strength is up, which is always a good thing, and I feel way healthier. I appreciate that he’s willing to work with me for my specific goals and it has translated to the golf course beautifully.

Fantastic experience: Chris Vilayphonh is amazing. I couldn't find enough people to tell about his work so now im hoping you take my advise. Thanks to South Island Physiotherapy !!!!!

Fantastic experience: Physiotherapy / Colin Beattie . As a client of Colin’s , I’d like to tell you how very grateful I am. Colin‘s knowledge and passion for the work he helps you navigate through. As you move forward he’s supportive, patient, & willing to answer your questions. Physiotherapy is his chosen job. It is also his passion, to help people understand how to work with their pain.

Fantastic experience: I appreciate the friendly and helpful front desk staff, they're always ready to book appointments and direct bill insurance plans! The physiotherapists are knowledgeable and adept at treating injuries and chronic conditions. After every visit I leave feeling better than before. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but great things to say about my visits at South Island Physiotherapy. I have been seeing Arianna Wood for several weeks now. She is incredibly knowledgable about the human body and has been so supportive though my nerve flare-ups. The excersize plan Arianna created for me has been very doable, and she always checked-in first before adjusting it. Her hands-on manipulations are magical! I have only seen Kevin Sommerfeldt twice, but have had a similarly great experience during my chiropractic sessions with him. He is very considerate with his adjustments and has had great insights about my on-going carpal tunnel issues. The front-desk team are also fantastic; very kind and great at what they do!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing both Chris and Kevin for over five years, and I can’t say enough good things. They’re incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and make every session feel comfortable and productive. They give great advice and simple things to work on at home. I’ve been seeing Chris once a week for almost three months now, and I genuinely look forward to every session. I’ve struggled with chronic shoulder pain for most of my life, and thanks to Chris, I finally feel like real, lasting improvement is possible. If you are looking for a new physiotherapist or chiropractor i would highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: All I can say is wow. From the moment I stepped through the door, I knew I was in the right place. Jess at reception was so very kind and welcoming, and made sure I was looked after. My assessment with Arianna was absolutely fantastic, and she made sure I felt heard and addressed every concern and question I had. Super professional atmosphere, super staff, and amazing care. I cannot wait to come back!

Fantastic experience: South Island Physiotherapy has the best trained and professional kinesiologists, physiotherapists, massage therapists, chiropractic service and one-on-one training in Victoria. The front entrance is a clean, open space that has been well designed. The gym is big and bright with new equipment and is kept clean. Friendly staff—down-to-earth and genuinely happy to see you. It is owned and run by physiotherapists. They are both very involved, still practicing, and care about their customers and staff. Kaitlyn is my ROCKSTAR!!! She is very knowledgeable and knows how to get me back to normal movement after injury and surgeries. I don't know what I'd do without her. I've had multiple injuries over the past 7 years, and she's motivated, coached, inspired, and mentored my physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Thank God for all of you!!!!

Fantastic experience: Ariana was very thorough and went through various tests to diagnose my issues. She explained my conditions and demonstrated the exercises I needed to do. She was great and supportive and gave me an honest view of the timeline to recovery. Looking forward to seeing her in a few weeks and hoping to see some improvement.

Fantastic experience: After my car accident, I booked a physio appointment with Chris V . The very first time that I was there , I knew that I was at the right place . He is so kind , considerate, respectful and genuine. We worked so hard to treat through my injuries. I told him that if I didn’t have such respect for him that I would not be able to relax , so that we could get the work done that we needed to do in that room . Thank-you Chris , for your patience and incredible kindness . To the lovely young ladies out at the front desk , you have been so kind , considerate and helpful when I would need a minute or two to recoup . You brought me water , juice and kindness . Thank-you ! You are beautiful gifts to us all who visit .

Fantastic experience: Chris was knowledgeable on the subject of my knee injury. He was able to give me exercises to work on. He gave me a rough idea of the prognosis & how long before I could be out running again. How many sessions were approximately needed.

Fantastic experience: Kaitlyn was thorough in her examination and went above and beyond to follow up with written feedback on what to continue working on within my treatment plan. She is working in a holistic approach by incorporating everything I do within my health journey which I value and appreciate. The team is phenomenal, freindly, inviting and takes such good care of you while your there. I am happy to have found a team that is supporting my journey.

Fantastic experience: Been seeing the owner, Alec, for the past few months for my messed up hip and shoulders. Alec is great, he listens to my history and specific needs to help me a achieve my athletic goals. The gym at South Island is also great to see.

Everyone I've interacted with has been fantastic. The space itself is also great - always clean and organized and the gym space is a great resource.

Fantastic experience: I see Colin for physio and more recently, Kevin for chiro. They are working together on my current issue. Colin is very thorough and legit wants people to feel better… one of the few people that prefers to work himself out of the job The space is very fresh and clean. All of the staff, including front desk, are friendly and professional. I’ve also interacted with a few of the other physio’s (Alec and Jason) and they make you feel comfortable and at ease. Highly recommend!

I actually look forward to physiotherapy! The gym and rooms are very clean and organized, and the staff are friendly and professional. Parking is also a breeze and the location is convenient.

Fantastic experience: I've seen a lot of physiotherapists over the years and am so glad I found Jason Nenzel at South Island Physiotherapy! He's the ONLY physio that I've had any success with using IMS and the addition of shockwave therapy has been huge too. I can't recommend him and the clinic enough

Fantastic experience: Every aspect of this office runs so smoothly! From the lovely reception when you first walk in, to the highly qualified professionals who provide personalized care. Hannah is a fantastic massage therapist! She listens closely and addresses my concerns. This is the place to be!
