We have recently updated our education on treatment of face, jaw and headache pain.
Dry Needling courses have also been advanced with Level 1-3 completed. This is a nice adjunct to treatment by providing an option for pain management to coincide with strength and ROM goals.

Thank you everyone for your continued patronage. We continue to provide a safe environment for you during your rehabilitation. Infection control is high on our priority, but masks are now optional.

We would like to thank everyone for helping us to carry out infection control protocols during the challenges of the pandemic. As of October 1/22 we are progressing to masks optional for clients in the clinic. Physiotherapists will continue to wear masks during this transition phase. We recommend you consider wearing a mask if you are immune compromised. If you have any questions, please ask at the reception when you enter the clinic.
We will still be screening for cold or flue symptoms and appointments will be re-scheduled accordingly, or in mild cases a mask must be worn.
Thank you

If you don’t have a claim number, dial this number (1-888-967-5377) & you will have a claim number within 24 hours.

2. Once we have your claim number we contact WSBC for authorization to begin physiotherapy. We will then phone you to set up an assessment.

3. We will send you an email with a short questionnaire to assist the physiotherapist with your assessment. Please submit this prior to your appt.
If you don’t have access to email or have difficulty with this just phone us & we will help you.

4. Your first appointment will be for assessment of your injury and collecting details of the type of work you do so we may optimize your rehabilitation goals. From there treatment will usually be 2x per week (dependent on your injury and whether you are also still working).

Our goal is to prepare you for successful return to work with your pain managed, range of motion restored & strength optimized!

As the holiday season approaches we reflect on all we can be thankful for and our hearts go out to the families in BC who have endured such hardship these past 2 years. The latest being the epic flooding separating coastal BC from the interior. Many families lost their homes, livestock and a few precious lives were lost.
This year for the season of giving we are sponsoring 2 people who will be alone for Christmas with gifts to brighten their Christmas. All of our wonderful staff have contributed to funding this. As well the clinic has donated to the Red Cross Flood Relief fund. (Each of the federal & provincial governments have announced matching donations to Red Cross dollar for dollar, so $1 becomes $3).
Over Christmas we will be open seeing priority clients and we will only be closed on Christmas Eve, Dec. 27. and New Years Eve.
Our regular hours are Mon. 8:00-4:30, Wed., and Fri. 8:30-4:30. Tue. and Thurs. 9:00- 5:30
Health and Happiness to All!
Judy

Joints are noisy! Quite frequently people fear cracking and creaky joints, thinking they are doing “damage” to joint. However, this is not the case, for the most part anyways. Cracking and popping can be associated with many things, from something as little as nitrogen bubbles to muscles and tendons flipping over bony processes. With all things related to the human body there are most certainly exceptions but for the most part, if there isn’t pain, locking or an unstable feeling associated with the click, chances are it’s A-OK!!
