Physiotherapy Position Available
Who We Are:
Sooke Evergreen Physiotherapy Inc. is independently owned and operated by John and Suzanne Manley. We have been providing physiotherapy care in the area since 1995, and have treated over 11,000 new clients in that time! Our mandate is to ensure that each client receives individualized, efficient, effective treatment. Treatments include manual therapy (myofacial release, deep tissue stretching, mobilization etc.), exercise prescription, acupuncture, Bioflex laser treatment, McKenzie protocols, plus all the ‘usual’ modalities.
Further education is important to us and is supported by the clinic. We constantly look for ways to innovate and improve both physiotherapy and business practices. In addition to staff training in Posture and Flexibility, and the McKenzie Method, John is taking classes in vestibular rehabilitation and IMS. We are also involved on an ongoing basis with various business growth/management seminars.
Our experience in Sooke shows that therapists are most likely to be successful at building a caseload if they live in the town rather than commuting from Victoria. And the housing market is 20-40% less expensive here!
