PHYSIOTHERAPY IN RICHMOND
Why clients in Richmond choose us.
Our Richmond physiotherapy studio serves a wide catchment, Steveston, Terra Nova, City Centre, East and South Richmond, and the parts of South Vancouver and Delta that drive in along the Steveston Highway. We see a high volume of post-MVA clients through ICBC, plus the steady mix of office workers, athletes, and active retirees who keep Richmond moving.
Sessions are one-on-one with the same physiotherapist throughout your plan. We work to the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC scope: assessment, manual therapy, IMS where it fits, and a written exercise plan you'll actually do between visits.
The first appointment is a full assessment: how the injury happened, what's limited, and what's actually driving the pain rather than just where it's felt. From there we set a realistic timeline, most strains and sprains improve over 4 to 8 weeks, while post-surgical rehab and chronic pain take longer. You leave that first visit with specific exercises for the week ahead, not a generic printout.
Richmond is one of our larger studios, broad clinician roster means short waits for new-client appointments.

KIND WORDS
What Richmond clients say.
"Fantastic experience. Firstly, Launch Rehab's clinic is clean and professional. Welcoming reception and the interior is nice. Secondly, the physiotherapist I worked with, Derek Ku, is great. Derek Ku really pinpointed my issues in my traps and neck and asked thoughtful questions to figure out my issues. I've gone to many clinics and massages but it was not as helpful as Derek's physio treatment. His passion for his work is contagious and is knowledge in human physiology is clear. I'm going back to him for a 3rd session and it feels like this pain I've been dealing with will soon be resolved. Highly recommend Launch Rehab and Derek Ku as a physiotherapist. ps. the owner of this clinic, Adrian, surprised me with a gift basket which made this whole experience even better. Check out this place if you're looking for treatment."

FAQ
Physiotherapy in Richmond: questions.
Do you direct bill ICBC at the Richmond studio?
+
Yes. Bring your ICBC claim number to the first visit and we handle billing directly. Pre-approved physio is covered in full for the first 12 weeks after your crash.
Can I book a physio appointment on Saturday or Sunday in Richmond?
+
Yes, Richmond has weekend availability. Saturday tends to book out 5 to 7 days ahead, so booking early is worth it.
Do you have Mandarin- or Cantonese-speaking physiotherapists?
+
Yes, our Richmond roster includes clinicians who speak Mandarin and Cantonese. Mention your preference when booking and we'll match you.
Do I need a doctor's referral to book physiotherapy in Richmond?
+
No referral is needed for MSP, extended health, or self-pay visits, and ICBC or WorkSafeBC claims don't need one either, just bring your claim number when you book.
What happens during a first physiotherapy visit in Richmond?
+
Your physiotherapist takes a history of the injury, tests the movements that are limited or painful, and rules out the small number of problems that need a doctor before treatment starts. You leave the first visit, usually 45 to 60 minutes, with a working diagnosis and specific exercises to start that week.
How is physiotherapy at the Richmond studio different from a walk-in clinic?
+
The same physiotherapist sees you for every visit through your plan, rather than whoever is available that day. That continuity lets the plan build on what actually changed since the last session instead of restarting the assessment each time, and it means your therapist notices small setbacks or plateaus that a rotating roster of clinicians would likely miss.
Does WorkSafeBC cover physiotherapy at the Richmond studio?
+
Yes. If your injury is work-related and the claim is accepted, physiotherapy is covered at no direct cost to you. Bring your claim number to the first visit and our client care team handles the billing directly with WorkSafeBC, including any progress reports your case manager needs.
Is there parking at the Richmond physiotherapy studio?
+
Yes, free parking is available on site at the Broadmoor studio, at the northeast corner of Williams Road and No. 3 Road, which makes it easy to keep regular appointments through a longer rehab plan without worrying about a meter or a time limit between sessions.
