COMMON QUESTIONS

Korean-speaking care, answered.

Does Launch Rehab have Korean-speaking physiotherapists?

Yes, at the New Westminster studio. Jin Im is a physiotherapist there who speaks Korean. Lougheed and New Westminster together also have Korean-speaking kinesiology and acupuncture staff.

Which Launch Rehab studios have Korean-speaking staff?

Lougheed, Coquitlam, North Burnaby, and New Westminster. Jean Jeong speaks Korean at Lougheed and North Burnaby, Samuel Park is a Korean-speaking registered massage therapist at Coquitlam, and New Westminster has the deepest coverage with Jin Im (physiotherapy), Steven Kim (kinesiology), and Susie Hong (acupuncture).

Is a Korean-speaking kinesiologist available?

Yes. Steven Kim is a kinesiologist at the New Westminster studio who speaks Korean. Kinesiology in BC is not a regulated college profession, but he is trained and works under the BC Association of Kinesiologists' scope guidelines.

Does Launch Rehab have a Korean-speaking acupuncturist?

Yes. Jean Jeong speaks Korean at Lougheed and North Burnaby. Susie Hong is a registered acupuncturist at the New Westminster studio who speaks Korean, regulated by the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC).

Can I book a Korean-speaking practitioner specifically?

Yes. Name the practitioner you want when you book online or call the studio directly. These Korean-speaking clinicians can conduct their sessions in Korean.

Will my ICBC or WorkSafeBC claim conversation happen in Korean?

The clinical conversation, including your history and treatment plan, can be conducted in Korean with any of these practitioners. Claim forms and ICBC or WorkSafeBC correspondence are in English, since those are standardized insurer documents, but the clinician can walk you through them in Korean.

Are Korean-speaking practitioners at Launch Rehab fully licensed in BC?

Yes, with the same BC licensing as every other Launch Rehab clinician. Jin Im is regulated by the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC (CHCPBC) as a physiotherapist, and Susie Hong by the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC) as a registered acupuncturist. Speaking Korean is in addition to, not instead of, full BC licensing.

If I need physiotherapy but Jin Im's schedule is full, are there other Korean-speaking options?

For physiotherapy specifically, Jin Im at New Westminster is currently Launch Rehab's only Korean-speaking physiotherapist. If the schedule doesn't fit, Samuel Park (registered massage therapist at Coquitlam), Joah Kim or Wonseok Oh (registered massage therapists at Lougheed), or Steven Kim (kinesiologist at New Westminster) can support recovery in Korean, working alongside an English-speaking physiotherapist for the clinical assessment.
