Kinesiology & ICBC Active Rehab
Regain Function, Strength & Flexibility with our Registered Kinesiologists
After your accident, active rehab is the “final lap” of your recovery. If you’re suffering from injury or pain after a car crash, perhaps you’re already seeking physiotherapy and massage treatment. Active rehab can be the perfect compliment to your routine. Oftentimes your physiotherapist will recommend beginning an active rehab program after several physiotherapy sessions have assisted your injury recovery, and when you are ready for strengthening.
What is ICBC Active Rehab?
A Kinesiologist is a graduate of a university Bachelors program in Human Kinetics. Studying physical activity, biomechanics and its impact on overall health and quality of life. Implementing the use of corrective exercises and stretching to help combat muscular imbalances.
The main goal of a Kinesiology session is to help you regain function and return to regular life activities. If you have an injury or disability that has kept you from enjoying all that life has to offer. Our professional Kinesiologists will collaborate with your healthcare team to assist with recovery from acute or chronic injury or post-surgical rehabilitation. Providing you with a customized recovery plan to ensure you are back on track quickly and safely.
Kinesiology may be fully or partially covered by ICBC or other private insurance providers. If you have any questions, call us today and our staff will be happy to help you.
