What is neurological physiotherapy?
A physiotherapist will help you to work on movement and function after a neurological injury (stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury) or disease diagnosis (Parkinson's, MS, etc). These sessions consist of some hands on treatment and also lots of movement and exercise, along with home exercises to do on your own.

We have physiotherapists who are trained to assess and treat various types of vertigo. Give us a call and we will discuss if your vertigo is treatable by physiotherapy.
Will my insurance cover my visit?
Every insurance plan is different, but most plans cover some physiotherapy. Check out our rates & coverage section for more info.
Do you offer low-income rates?
We do offer a reduced rate for our low income clients, and the government also subsidies some physiotherapy services. See our rates and coverage section for more info.
Do you treat people with ICBC and WSBC claims?
We do! However, for in-home physiotherapy you must be pre-approved by your adjustor. For more information, see our rates & coverage section.
How quickly can you see me?
It is often difficult for us to book you in on the same day, but we will get to you as quickly as we can and usually have availability within the same week.
How often will you come to see me?
This varies based on the person. Your physiotherapist can discuss this with you on your first visit.
What will my first visit look like?
On your first visit, the physiotherapist will first ask you some questions to get to know your problem a little better. Then he or she will complete some testing to pinpoint the exact issues to work on. The physiotherapist will set a plan with you to achieve your goals. The amount of treatment you get on the first day depends on how long the assessment takes. Also, assessments are very different for different conditions.
Why would I see a rehabilitation assistant?
Our rehab assistants are well trained professionals. They often see clients who have ongoing needs and do well with a consistent exercise program. Rehab assistants work under the guidance of a physiotherapist to carry out programs with clients. They cannot assess or alter treatment plans. Therefore, these professionals are perfect for those client's with ongoing strength, mobility and exercise needs.
