PhysioActive COVID-19 Patient Notice

To our valued patients,

After much careful and thoughtful deliberation with our staff, we have decided to follow the advice of the College of Physical Therapists of British Columbia, the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, the Physiotherapy Association of British Columbia and of the Public Health Authorities and temporarily close the clinic effective Monday, March 23. This was an agonizing decision to make, as our patients are very important to us. These are extraordinary times however, and there are friends and neighbours out there who are at risk, and are very frightened. We need to support them and all Canadians as we deal with the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.
Please accept our sincerest apologies to all those affected by our decision. We hope this will be a short break from treatment, and are committed to reopening as soon as is safe and responsible to do so. During the next few weeks, please feel free to contact the clinic if you have any questions or concerns about the current stage of your recovery. Our general email address is info@physioactivebc.ca , please email us with specific details (questions, concerns, whom you wish to address your concerns) and we will ensure your concerns are dealt with in a timely manner. As well, please check our website and phone message for updates as we navigate these waters.
We thank you all for your patience, understanding and support during this unprecedented time in our history. We will survive this as a country and as a clinic, and be stronger for it. Please ensure you reach out via email if you have any questions or concerns.
Please keep informed and follow COVID-19 protocols of social distancing and hygiene.

Your PhysioActive family

Whether you are a mountain biker, road cruiser, or a casual commuter wearing a helmet and taking proper precautions can reduce your risk of concussion. ...

Concussions are not only a contact sport injury. Relative to other sports, cycling has a high incidence of concussions and they are a serious injury.

In a recent study on sport-related concussions in cycling, although wearing a helmet reduces the risk of brain injury, the results interestingly showed a relation between helmet use, participation in cycling clubs, and increased concussion incidence. This is aligned to growing findings that show athletes with a history of concussion report more symptoms.
