Welcome to Gulf Island Physiotherapy!

We’re so glad you’re here. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a new injury, or simply looking to move and feel better in your body — we’re here to help.

Please note:

  • Tim Camps is operating a waitlist for new patients.

  • Marty Calhoun is accepting new patients and would be happy to support your care.

  • Post-surgical clients: As soon as you have a surgery date, please reach out so we can plan your rehab accordingly.

Health & Safety Reminder If you’re feeling unwell — including symptoms like cough, sore throat, fever, fatigue, or nausea — we kindly ask that you stay home and contact us to rebook your appointment. Your health and the safety of our staff and patients are our top priority. Thank you for your understanding.

Cancellation Policy Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the therapists’ day that could have been filled by another patient. As such, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss their appointment, will be charged a cancellation fee to the card on file.

We’re excited to welcome you into our clinic

Marty has been a licensed physiotherapist since graduating from Queen’s University in 1996. Over the years, he has continually advanced his clinical skills through extensive post-graduate training with respected osteopathic institutions, including the Upledger Institute, Barral Institute, and John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release approach. He has also completed the full McKenzie Method certification, specializing in the treatment of neck and back pain.

Marty integrates a wide range of techniques into his practice, combining evidence-based physiotherapy with osteopathic principles to help clients restore mobility, reduce pain, and achieve their highest level of function.

Marty is passionate about uncovering the root cause of persistent dysfunction and enjoys working with patients who feel they have “tried everything.”

Dedicated to lifelong learning, Marty continues to expand his therapeutic toolkit to provide personalized, effective care tailored to each individual.

Returning home to the West Coast in 2018, Tim joined a Clinic in Victoria, where his breadth of knowledge, engaging personality, and genuine empathy helped him to quickly build a thriving practice.

Tim’s positive demeanour, natural energy, and commitment to individualized treatment, has supported his ability to manage full, daily slates of patients, while still making time to continue the learning and to pursue his specialization within physiotherapy.
