physiotherapy
A physiotherapy appointment always begins with an assessment. We always start with hearing your concerns, and asking questions to understand your needs. After a discussion we check a range of factors based on your concern, and evaluate your range of motion, strength, and alignment. We will also do physical tests and take measurements of the areas we anticipate will need work. Your treatment will be discussed with you, and you are welcome to ask all the questions necessary to feel comfortable. All our physiotherapists are registered with the College of Physiotherapists of British Columbia, the regulatory body in BC. They work closely with our regulated professionals such as Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) to support each clients’ goals.
Our dedicated team of Vancouver physiotherapists have backgrounds in sport, exercise physiology and human kinetics. One-on-one appointments mean the time during your appointment is dedicated specifically for you. Our sport physiotherapists use manual therapy and may be combined with IMS (functional dry needling), prescriptive exercise and pilates. They are familiar, or even experts in a variety of sports, and they serve to support recovery and help plan for improved performance. If strength and conditioning is needed, we work with a network of exercise physiologists and kinesiologists throughout the Lower Mainland to help you on your way. We serve clients in Vancouver, and even those coming from Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver, and Coquitlam.
goal setting
If you are ready to go after that next big project, race, or activity but are concerned about whether your body will be able to manage the load, you’ve started at the right place. We can help you to anticipate what pushing yourself will feel like, help you to monitor pain, and ultimately, to be happy with the end result.
injury management
The body’s ability to withstand force is the greatest factor in preventing injury. Accidents happen to everyone at some point, and it can be unclear what to do next. Having a path forward brings confidence to the healing process. Our practitioners will help you with exercise prescriptions, manual therapy, and even let you know when it’s time to just rest.
questions answered
Openness and transparency builds trust. We are always happy to answer any questions you have. People want to know, how long will their recovery take, if surgery is the best option, or even if they should push themselves harder. Don’t be shy to discuss your toughest questions with our experienced physiotherapists.
