Capitol Hill is the established residential neighbourhood on the hillside above the Hastings Street shopping strip in North Burnaby, looking out over Burrard Inlet. It is a settled, single-family area, and the care it brings in leans that way: arthritic joints, balance and fall-prevention, post-operative knees and hips, and the load that steep streets put on legs that are not what they were.
The nearest Launch Rehab studio sits right at the bottom of the hill, in Kensington Square at Kensington Avenue and Hastings Street. It is the original Launch Rehab location, on this corner since 2015, with physiotherapy, vestibular therapy, registered massage therapy, and a one-on-one active-rehab floor.
WHAT WE OFTEN SEE FROM CAPITOL HILL
The cases the North Burnaby team handles most.
- Knee and hip osteoarthritis, and the strength work that keeps it moving
- Balance, dizziness, and fall-prevention — North Burnaby has vestibular physiotherapy on-site
- Post-operative joint rehab (knee, hip, shoulder replacements and repairs)
- Knee and hip load from the steep Capitol Hill grades
- Everyday neck and shoulder complaints from desk work
These are the presentations we see often from this area — not a diagnosis. The decision to treat happens in clinic, after an assessment with a regulated practitioner.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Capitol Hill & the North Burnaby studio.
Is there a Launch Rehab studio on Capitol Hill?
Not on the hill itself. The closest is Launch Rehab North Burnaby, at 6536 Hastings Street in Kensington Square — a few minutes downhill. It has been on this corner since 2015 and offers physiotherapy, vestibular therapy, massage, chiropractic, and more.
Do you help with balance problems and fall prevention?
Yes. The North Burnaby studio has vestibular physiotherapists who assess dizziness, positional vertigo (BPPV), and balance loss, and build the strength and confidence that reduce fall risk. The first visit is an assessment to find what's driving the symptom.
Is there free parking at the studio?
Yes. Kensington Square Shopping Centre provides free client parking, shared with the grocery store, so spots are usually easy to find — easier than parking on the hill.
Do I need a doctor's referral to start physiotherapy?
No. British Columbia allows direct access to physiotherapy, so you can book without a referral. Some extended health plans still ask for a physician's referral before they reimburse, so it's worth checking your plan before your first visit.
