We make a point of providing exceptional healthcare

A physiotherapist’s goal is to restore, maintain and maximize your strength, function, movement and overall well-being. We understand that everyone has different objectives. The demands on your body differ greatly depending on whether you work a heavy job, or have a baby, or run marathons, or all three! We will help you set and achieve appropriate end-points based on your injury and interests.

On the first day we will assess your condition, educate you, and usually get started on treatment. Your assessment may include health history, evaluation of pain and movement patterns, strength, joint range of motion, reflexes, sensation, etc. Based on this assessment, your physiotherapist will establish a diagnosis and discuss your prognosis. They will work in partnership with you to develop an individualized treatment program. Expect your physiotherapist to guide you in performing therapeutic exercises in between appointments. Your progress will be monitored at follow-up visits and your physiotherapist may adjust your treatment according to changes in your body.

Yes. Research has shown acupuncture’s effectiveness in treating sports injuries, pain management, migraines, arthritis and other conditions.

Absolutely not! Our goal is to understand your goals, figure out everything that might be contributing to your injury, educate you and treat you appropriately, and then discharge you from care. You are certainly always allowed to come back to us, but our ultimate goal is to give you the tools to self-manage if at all possible.

Even though this is a common question, there isn’t a single answer. All insurance plans are different:

• some extended health plans offer 100% coverage and unlimited sessions
• other health plans give a set dollar amount to “spend” on physiotherapy each year
• in general, it’s common for plans to cover $300 – $500 annually
• we offer direct billing to 3rd-party insurers, so feel free to call the clinic at 250.591.3730 if you have further questions

Remember, each plan varies. Some may require a Doctor’s referral or have other specific requirements, so it’s important that you get the details from your provider.
