Carly Waring
Clinic Owner
Carly returned to the island and put down roots in the Comox Valley in early 2023, where she supported the opening of a Kids Physio clinic for the seventeenth time… this time as a co-owner! When she’s not working, Carly can usually be found on a beach or on the trails with her dog, Arbutus, riding a bike, skiing at Mount Washington, or finding other ways to explore beautiful BC.

Kristyn Watters
Physiotherapist & Clinic Owner
Kristyn has had a fulfilling career to date and is grateful for the broad range of physiotherapy experiences acquired in pediatrics. Prior to opening her clinic, she spent four years in pediatric Hematology Oncology at McMaster Children’s Hospital. Being a part of the difficult journey that these families endure in the face of cancer has been, by far, the most challenging but also some of the most meaningful work of her career. Kristyn couldn’t be more excited about providing services to the children and teens of Comox Valley and its surrounding communities!
