Our Physiotherapy Services

Physiotherapy will help you move! Moving well, often, and with ease and comfort is essential to great quality of life. A physical therapist can assess areas of non-optimal loading in the body,
as well as muscle imbalances.

Addressing these issues can help to resolve pain, improve function, increase athletic or artistic performance, and prevent injury. We treat sports injuries, strains and sprains, overuse, accidents, post-op rehab, and chronic pain. Physiotherapists want to empower you to take charge of your own health and recovery.

Our Physiotherapist will conduct a thorough history of your current complaint, previous treatment, and relevant medical history. A full physical examination will be performed, including a functional assessment. Your Physiotherapist will take the time to discuss with you your diagnosis, your prognosis and your treatment plan. A treatment will be given if appropriate, followed by home exercises. 

Do insurance plans cover Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is partially covered by MSP for those who are on premium assistance, and by ICBC for those who have a valid claim. We can directly bill MSP,  ICBC and most private insurance plans to minimize your out-of-pocket expense. Please bring your insurance information with you to your first visit.
