More Physiotherapy available on
Hornby and Denman Island starting mid September
Hello Denman and Hornby islanders,
In this article I am going to introduce myself for some and re-introduce myself for others. My name is Christopher Mainella and I have returned to live on Denman Island and to provide Physiotherapy services to the islands. I am very excited to be back!From 2019-2021, I was providing Physiotherapy services on Denman and Hornby island, as well as in Parksville. Then from 2022-2024 I moved to Switzerland with my wife Maya and was working as a Physiotherapist in the Gruyère region (where the delicious cheese comes from, lucky me!).
I will be collaborating with Carmen and Spectra health to provide quality and consistent Physiotherapy services. Every Tuesday on Denman and every Thursday on Hornby. I have been practising Physiotherapy since 2007 and have taken the opportunity to work alongside a variety of healthcare practitioners and healers. In those years I have learnt to weave my own tapestry of healing techniques and approaches. Through my curiosity to try to better understand the complexity of the human body, injury prevention, injuries, the nervous system, the pain cycle, stress, the inflammatory cycle and much more, I am regularly registered in a large diversity of continuing education courses. My belief is that the more tools I have in my toolbox, the more prepared I am to support and educate those going through the healing process.
My approach is holistic, education focused, and hands on. We will take the time to discuss, question, research your ailment and I will try my best to get to the root of the issue and guide you on your wellness path. I strongly believe in the team approach and I will refer you to the appropriate healthcare practitioner if needed.
