Alec Myring | South Island Physiotherapy

Originally from Canada’s west coast, Alec grew up surrounded by the outdoor lifestyle that continues to shape both his personal life and his work as a physiotherapist. In 2011, he moved to Vancouver Island after his wife accepted a position in Victoria, and the community quickly became home.

Alec completed his undergraduate degree in Human Kinetics at the University of British Columbia in 2007 before earning his Master of Physical Therapy from UBC in 2011. Since graduating, he has spent his entire physiotherapy career serving the Greater Victoria community, helping people recover from injury, build resilience, and return to the activities that matter most to them.

Victoria’s active and outdoor-oriented culture makes it a place where movement is a central part of everyday life. Whether it’s hiking local trails, cycling, running, or simply staying active with family and friends, Alec enjoys working with a community that values health and physical activity.

Alec believes that physiotherapy is about more than just recovering from injury. It is about helping people understand their bodies, build confidence in how they move, and develop the resilience needed to stay active for the long term. His goal is to support people in moving with greater ease and freedom so they can continue to enjoy the activities and lifestyles that make living on Vancouver Island so special.

I have been seeing Alec since before this clinic opened and have always had great professional service and treatment. My son has started working with Keaton and he too has been amazing. I would recommend this clinic to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had many years of sore and immovable shoulder and back muscles that my RMT eventually told me to try physio/IMS. I found South Island’s location super convenient and have been a client for several years now given the excellent care from Jason and welcoming atmosphere of the team. My RMT  saw a difference right away and I consider this professional service an essential part of my health and wellbeing.

When diagnosing my injury she clearly explained her assessment, likely and typical causes, and her approach for treatment. She put together an achievable recovery and treatment plan that fit my daily / weekly exercise and activity routines, as well as longer term fitness goals. Jennifer provided feedback and support over several weeks, and adjusted the recovery plan based on my progress.

Her background and knowledge of running was also very helpful and informative when prescribing exercises and movements to help with a return to run program.

Reception staff are all super friendly too!

Kaitlyn is very kind and really takes the time to listen to all of your concerns.  She has come up with a plan and I am excited to continue seeing her.   It is a great facility with easy parking.
