Who We Are
We’re a progressive, clinician-owned group of physiotherapy clinics proudly serving Nanaimo and Parksville/Qualicum Beach on Central Vancouver Island. We’ve designed every square foot of our three clinics with intention — to deliver exceptional care, elevate the patient experience, and support clinicians in doing their best work.
At Advanced Health + Sports Clinic, our mission is two-fold:
-
For patients: To strengthen the trust in physiotherapy and rehab field in general — one outstanding experience at a time.

We don’t just talk about work-life balance — we live it. Here, you’ll find a rare mix of clinical excellence, lifestyle, and opportunity, all set within vibrant, affordable coastal communities you’ll be proud to call home.

Clinics Built for Excellence:
-
Step into nearly 6,000 square feet of pristine, purpose-built clinical space spread across three award-winning locations — each custom-designed and constructed from the ground up (2018, 2022, and 2024). These aren’t retrofitted retail units or dusty industrial parks. These are flagship clinics, recognized for design excellence and built with intention — for clinicians, patients, and modern rehab care.
All locations are:
-
Strategically positioned on Highway 1 for maximum visibility, ease of access, and free parking (for patients and staff)
-
Bright, modern, and thoughtfully designed — featuring a mix of private treatment rooms and semi-private curtained cubicles for flexibility and flow
-
Equipped with rehab gyms that feature:
-
TRX, squat racks, bumper plates, dumbbells
-
Turf strip, ladders, BOSU, plyo boxes, Swiss balls
-
Treadmills, bikes, and more
-
We invest in tools that matter — not gimmicks:
-
VALD ForceDecks for research-grade force plate testing
-
Meloq digital goniometers & dynamometers
-
Class IV laser and shockwave therapy units
With JaneApp EMR, direct billing, a full-time admin team, and a space that inspires confidence — these clinics let you focus on what you do best: delivering exceptional care.
We’re clinics first — not gyms in disguise, and definitely not holdovers from a bygone era. When patients walk in, they feel the difference. And when you practice here, you do too.

Work-Life Balance in Parksville!
Considering Living in
Nanaimo or Parksville?
These neighboring communities are both gems in the central Vancouver Island Region that share commonalities despite being unique communities in their own right. Both areas boast:
Amazing outdoor recreation at your fingertips:
- Local Beaches: Parksville, Qualicum, Brickyard Bay, Nanoose Beach, Lantzville Beach, Blueback Beach, or Departure Bay.
- Mountain Hikes: Arrowsmith, Little Mountain, Copley, or Benson.
- Lakes: Horne Lake, Spider Lake, Long Lake, Westwood Lake, Brannen Lake.
- Rivers: Nanaimo River, Englishman River, Little/Big Qualicum Rivers.
- Islands for Kakaying and Exploring: Newcastle, Protection, Gabriola, & Ballenas.
Reasonable property rates in comparison to larger lower-mainland real estate markets:
- Earn big city money but live in a market where it can go MUCH further – build your dream house, acquire an acreage/hobby farm, or have capital left over annually to invest. Despite recent growth and development, a similar home/neighborhood in Victoria or Vancouver will still cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars more.
- Our two strategic clinic locations make living in the following locations feasible for you determining your ideal long-term destination for yourself and your family. Neighboring communities to our clinics include: Nanoose Bay, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Errington, Coombs, Whiskey Creek, French Creek, Qualicum Bay, Lantzville, Cedar & Nanaimo
Central Locations:
- Your only a 90 minute ferry ride from Vancouver, or a 2 hour drive from Victoria and Tofino. Both Nanaimo and Parksville afford the sprawling space of a small town without sacrificing the big-city amenities while keeping you within reaching distance of everything.
“Island Pace”
- Traffic? What’s that? In fact, many therapists and professionals here are able to bike to work thanks to our cycle-friendly trails and roads. Add that time up week to week, month to month, and year to year. That’s allot more time to be enjoying activities and spending time with your loved ones!

We have a lot of fun here and thoroughly enjoy growing as people and professionals through our work. If you think this atmosphere might be a fit for you don’t hesitate to contact us and let’s explore if you’re the right fit.
