Assessment and treatment is in private treatment rooms, and we have a large, bright open gym for one-on-one guided exercise therapy.

We also provide the luxury of in-house sports medicine and massage therapy. The Comox Valley is one of the most beautiful places on earth. If an injury or chronic pain is impeding your enjoyment of it, call Coastal Physiotherapy for a treatment plan that will give you back the quality of life that you deserve.

Physiotherapists Steve Schmidt and Jaime McDowell co-founded Coastal Physiotherapy in downtown Comox in 2007, with fellow Physiotherapist Trevor Wilson joining them as a partner in 2016. We have six physiotherapists, a sports medicine physician and two registered massage therapists dedicated to providing optimal, client-specific care.
Jaime holds a Master of Science in Physiotherapy from McMaster University and a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Simon Fraser University. Jaime co-founded Coastal Physiotherapy in 2007. He is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapists (FCAMPT). This is the highest qualification recognized internationally for orthopaedic physiotherapists.
At Coastal Physiotherapy & Sports Rehabilitation, we are happy to save you time by providing DIRECT BILLING to the insurance providers below. For all work-related injuries, WorkSafeBC will pay for your initial visit as long as your claim is registered with WorkSafeBC and you have a claim number. Further physiotherapy treatment may be covered after your claim is approved.
No. Physiotherapists are university trained medical professionals and primary care practitioners. This means that you have direct access to Physiotherapy without a doctor's referral. We do recommend, however, that you communicate with your doctor about your participation in physiotherapy so that we can work together and share knowledge as required during your treatment.

Vestibular guy deals with BPPV only...that's it. I asked when I booked my appt if they are familiar with Cervicogenic.... he hadn't a clue...waste of money.

Coastal Physio has made such a difference in my life. I truly can't say, in written words, how much both Steve and Colleen have improved my physical, & ultimately my mental, life. Wow!!! Both work with my other professionals (incl. family Dr & trainer....etc). They care and want to make a difference to endure I am better. I have had several physical challenges, including a broken ankle that was shattered, and I would not be walking with confidence or stability without the two of them. Plus my Shoulders and low back have been incredibly improved (no pain now) with IMS and attention from Steve. Colleen

Did not explain their fee schedule for massage therapy sessions before services, It left me with a larger bill than I reasonably expected to pay given my coverage. I found this left me with a bad taste in my mouth when no effort was made to perhaps negotiate a "middle ground" end cost.

I saw Thomas Roundhill for a few weeks for a broken and sprained ankle and found his manual manipulation, IMS treatments and take-home stretches and exercises to be highly effective for the pain management and for helping me regain mobility as quickly as possible so I could get back to work/life. The front end staff were always attentive and professional and appointment reminder calls helped me stay on top of my appointments. The facility is clean, well equipped and comfortable. I would highly recommend this team and facility.

The IMS treatments I received from Thomas Roundhill have completely changed my life. After living with chronic back pain for 15 years I am now completely pain free and am able to do things i never though possible. Thomas listened to all my concerns and fears and took the time to explain the treatments and offered great advice and suggestions to continue my recovery.

Dr Shoesmith was knowledgeable and had a nice friendly compassionate manner. I felt like I was in good hands. The women at the front desk were friendly and attentive to answer questions, very helpful. I plan to go back for physio. Great 'island vibe'!

I injured both knees in a bad fall and have barely been able to walk for a month and a half. Just a few visits with Trevor Wilson and the swelling and pain is significantly reduced. He's extremely knowledgeable and precise, I highly recommend asking for him. I'm looking forward to getting back to the gym and being active.
