WorkSafe BC (WCB)

Were you injured at work?  Are you looking to recover as quickly as possible so you can return to full-
time duties at your job?

All visits are covered by WorkSafe BC as long as your claim is active. Once a claim has been reported to
WorkSafe a claim number will be provided to you. That claim number is all you need to get started.

Our team will communicate with WorkSafe BC on your behalf, allowing you to prioritize your healing.

What to Expect at your Initial Visit?

Our physiotherapists will ask you questions related to your work injury and goals you would like to
achieve.  Notes will be taken throughout your initial visit and a treatment plan will be created.
An assessment will be conducted to test functional movement, muscle strength, and flexibility.
There will be one-on-one treatment with your physiotherapist throughout the course of recovery.
You will need to collaborate with your physiotherapist and determine the number of visits you will need
to ensure your recovery is a success.  The number of visits varies depending on the treatment plan
created.

What to Expect at Your Subsequent Visits?

Each visit, your physiotherapist will spend the duration of your session focusing on your treatment.
Some examples of types of treatments may include:

  • Manual therapy (hands-on techniques)
  • Mobilizations to increase range of motion and stiffness
  • Soft tissue release/massage

  • Exercises for mobility and strength
  • Acupuncture
