Active Rehabilitation
In Person Sessions
Things can be quite scary after a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) or other traumatic injury, and we want to help you make that recovery process as easy and clear as possible. Our therapy team will help you figure out what health services are most appropriate for your situation and get you set up. Active Rehabilitation involves up to 60 minutes of 1 on 1 assessment and treatment with a Registered Kinesiologist or Registered Physiotherapist to help you recover under the ICBC Enhanced Accident Benefits.
Active rehabilitation puts the patient in control of their health. In active rehab sessions, you won’t be manipulated by an expert, but will instead be actively moving yourself. Using evidence-based treatments, you’ll work closely with your kinesiologist to improve strength, balance, endurance, and functional ability. All sessions are tailored to your needs and require active participation to be successful.
IS ACTIVE REHABILITATION RIGHT FOR YOU?
Active rehabilitation is great for anyone who wants to get back to activities they love without experiencing pain. Post-concussion patients, those with musculoskeletal injuries, or individuals who have been involved in an ICBC accident claim are a good fit for this service.
Benefits of active rehab include:
• Reduced pain
• Improved motion and ability
• Strength building
• Better health
• Shorter recovery time after injury
• Prevention of future injury
• Improved overall fitness and health
