Our approach

Congratulations on taking the first step toward improving your pelvic health! We know it can be intimidating but our goal at Full Moon is to make the experience comfortable and positive from start to finish.

We take a whole-body, exercise-based approach to your care - you are more than just your pelvis and you won’t spend your whole appointment laying down! Our therapists also aim to address the body from a biopsychosocial lens. This means we look not only at the muscles and tissues but also at your social and emotional well-being as it relates to your experience in your body.

All of our physiotherapists have completed specialized training in treating pelvic floor and prenatal/postpartum concerns. We pride ourselves on providing the best care possible to all of our clients by regularly taking courses to update our skills, engaging in mentorship within the clinic and creating strong professional connections with other caregivers in the Comox Valley.

What our clients are saying:

  • "Can't recommend this clinic enough. I've been in a lot of pelvic discomfort since giving birth, and Emilie identified the causes quickly and very professionally. I started seeing improvement after my first visit and I'm looking forward to continuing my healing! Wish I'd started with her sooner!"

  • "Wow, I am very impressed with the professional treatment I received and the knowledge and clear instruction given by Melina the Physiotherapist I saw. The new facility/office is lovely and there's lots of parking."

    Yvonne W

  • Emilie pinpointed exactly what my issue is on the first appointment, what several drs and two other physios could not. She listened to me in a way that no-one else had despite the chronology of issues going back nearly a decade. I am so happy that I found her. I am so happy to recommend her to others.

    Suzanne G

  • I am fully new to any physio and now I am a soon to be first-time Momma and Emilie made me feel so comfortable right away in both these aspects. She is very knowledgeable and supportive and we had many laughs on my first appointment. We broke down any wrong ideas I had about the pelvic floor and now I am very hopeful for a more positive birth experience. Cannot wait to see how I progress 😃
