BIG NEWS! Shannon Lawrence is celebrating 10 incredible years at the helm of Comox Physio!
Since 1992, Comox Physio has proudly kept the Comox Valley moving, healthy, and thriving. This past weekend marked a truly special milestone for our clinic team. To celebrate our official "Shannon Lawrence Era," we’re sharing 10 fun facts (and some throwback pics!) from a decade of growth, healing, and community.
🌟 1. Deep Roots in the Valley
Shannon’s journey with Comox Physio didn't start with leadership. She joined the clinic as a dedicated physiotherapist back in 1998, later stepping into the role of official owner on August 1, 2016.
🏢 2. A Fresh New Space
To match a growing vision, we completely renovated and moved into our beautiful current clinic space on August 1, 2017, creating a modern and welcoming environment for our patients.
🤝 3. A Growing Dream Team
Comox Physio started with just two practitioners. Today, our clinical team has expanded to 10 highly skilled professionals, allowing us to help more patients than ever before.
🎨 4. Modernizing Our Look
As we evolved, the clinic identity did too! We launched a brand-new logo, a user-friendly website, and multiple social channels to make connecting with us easier and more accessible.
💪 5. Rising Above Challenges
Like many local businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic threw unexpected challenges our way. Thanks to our resilient team and loyal community, we weathered the shutdowns and emerged stronger than ever.
🚒 6. Heart for the Community
We believe in giving back to the place we call home. In partnership with the Comox Fire Department, we proudly provide a life-saving Automated External Defibrillator (AED) for Strathcona Plaza.
🩹 7. Expanding Our Specialized Care
With more practitioners came a massive expansion of specialized services. We proudly offer: manual therapy, pelvic health, Registered Massage Therapy (RMT), Concussion Management & Vestibular Rehab, Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) / Dry Needling / Acupuncture, Cardiac Rehabilitation, Bike Fitting & Running Analysis, Cancer Recovery, Complete Decongestive Therapy, & more!
🔬 8. State-of-the-Art Technology
We continuously invest in top-tier rehabilitation and fitness gear. Our upgraded modalities include a real-time ultrasound, IFC therapy, a muscle meter strength tester, and a fully equipped gym with a bike, treadmill, functional trainer, and free weights.
💙 9. The Ultimate Support System
Behind every great practitioner is an incredible administrative team. Our Patient Care Coordinators are truly second to none, keeping the clinic running smoothly and providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all who come through our doors.
💻 10. Seamless Patient Experiences
We have modernized your clinic visits from start to finish. Over the years, we introduced seamless online booking, a secure digital Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system, and fully adjustable high/low treatment beds for maximum patient comfort.
Thank you, Comox Valley, for trusting Shannon and the entire Comox Physio team with your health for the last ten years. Here’s to many more decades of moving forward together!
