Sports Clinic Physiotherapy is located within the newly renovated Penticton Community Centre pool and recreation complex. It was opened as the 2nd location to the long established Dale Charles Physiotherapy clinic on Winnipeg St. Physiotherapy services include experienced orthopedic and sports injury care, as well as occupational rehabilitation services. The clinic hosts a Work Conditioning Program (OR1) for WorksafeBC and other insurers, with access to the modern gym and pool.
In 2016, the clinic was the Athlete’s Clinic for the BC Winter Games.
