Personalized, one-on-one active rehabilitation sessions with Registered Kinesiologists and Physiotherapists under ICBC Enhanced Accident Benefits.
Recovering from a motor vehicle accident or traumatic injury requires evidence-based techniques for recovery. Our Active Rehabilitation program delivers up to 60 minutes of dedicated one-on-one assessment and treatment with Registered Kinesiologists and Registered Physiotherapists who specialize in injury recovery.
Unlike passive modalities, active rehab empowers you to rebuild strength, restore function, and prevent future injury through progressive, evidence-based exercise protocols. We guide every movement, every rep, every progression, but you're the one doing the work that creates lasting change.

You must obtain pre-approval from your ICBC adjuster before beginning active rehabilitation. We can guide you through this process if needed.
Active rehab requires effort and may challenge you physically. Some discomfort during exercise is normal and expected. It's part of the adaptation process.
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a normal
response to exercise, especially in the early stages of
rehab. You may experience:
Up to 60 minutes of one-on-one treatment with a Registered Kinesiologist or Registered Physiotherapist. All equipment use, exercise programming, and digital resources are included.
Active rehab combines core stability, strengthening, stretching, and postural adjustments with tailored exercise programs. These treatments are safe for both acute and chronic conditions as all programs are completely customized to the patient. Holistic considerations, such as rest, nutrition, and mindset may also be included in your treatment plan. Your active rehabilitation Vancouver program structure will depend on the severity and scope of your injury. All sessions are conducted one-on-one with a Registered Kinesiologist or Registered Physiotherapist.
Your first appointment will include an assessment to discuss any injuries, medical issues, or goals. From there, your kinesiologist or physiotherapist will create an exercise-based treatment plan that is tailored to your needs. Further active rehabilitation Vancouver sessions will be scheduled on a rotating basis. Home exercises will also be recommended.
If you have an ICBC claim, you’ll need to be approved first before beginning your active rehabilitation Vancouver treatments. Bring a list of any medications, previous injuries, medical conditions, and information on Gradual Return to Work Programs (GRTW) if you are involved in that process. Please come to your first appointment in appropriate clothing for exercise.
Some post exercise soreness is normal and nothing to worry about. Soreness and tenderness should fade in 24-36 hours.
