Ben Chatterson
Ben has been practicing Physiotherapy in the Comox Valley since 2005. In three different clinic locations. Ben enjoys working with a variety of different clients including people injured at work, to people who have been in car accidents, or athletes who have injured themselves playing their chosen sport. Ben uses manual therapy, IMS, exercises and modalities to help treat injuries and get people back to health. He believes in using assessment techniques to get to the heart of the problem, then prescribing treatments to change that problem, and not just treating the symptoms.
When Ben is not Practicing Physiotherapy he can be found riding his mountain bike somewhere in the Valley, or coaching his two boys at the hockey rink. He is looking forward to his next 15 years in the Valley.
