Care for SFU & UniverCity.

Burnaby Mountain carries two communities at its summit: Simon Fraser University's main campus, and UniverCity, the residential town that has grown up beside it. The people here are students, staff, and young families, and the care it brings in is active and injury-led: sport, gym, climbing, and running overuse, plus the load of a steep daily commute up and down the mountain.

The nearest Launch Rehab studio is at the bottom of the hill's transit line: the 145 bus drops at Production Way-University, which is one SkyTrain stop from Lougheed Town Centre, beside the studio. It is the flagship Launch Rehab space, with a full strength floor and running assessment for getting back on the trails.

WHAT WE OFTEN SEE FROM SFU & UNIVERCITY

The cases the Lougheed team handles most.

  • Sport, gym, and weight-room overuse injuries
  • Running, climbing, and trail overuse from Burnaby Mountain
  • Knee and hip load from the steep daily mountain commute
  • Post-motor-vehicle-accident recovery through ICBC
  • Running assessment and return-to-sport progression

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

SFU & UniverCity & the Lougheed studio.

  • How do I get to the studio from SFU or UniverCity?

    Take the 145 bus down to Production Way-University Station, then ride one stop east on the Millennium Line to Lougheed Town Centre. The studio is a short walk from there. The R5 RapidBus is the alternative down the Hastings side.

  • Do you do running assessments?

    Yes. Lougheed is one of our running-assessment studios. For Burnaby Mountain's steep grades, we look at load tolerance and gait, then build a return-to-running plan staged on how your symptoms respond.

  • Can I get an appointment around class or work hours?

    Yes. The Lougheed studio runs evening appointments, and the one-stop SkyTrain connection makes it easy to fit a session in. After-work and after-class slots book out several days ahead, so booking early helps.

  • Does the studio accept student health plan billing for SFU students?

    The studio direct-bills most major extended health insurers, including plans that cover physiotherapy. Student health plans from universities vary in their coverage and direct-billing setup, so the quickest check is to call the studio with your plan name before booking. Many SFU students also have coverage through parents' or spouses' plans, which we can usually bill directly.

  • What services does the Lougheed studio offer for SFU and UniverCity residents?

    Launch Rehab Lougheed offers physiotherapy, registered massage therapy, acupuncture and IMS, clinical Pilates, pelvic floor physiotherapy, running assessment, golf assessment, and shockwave therapy. For students and staff dealing with gym, climbing, or trail-running overuse, physiotherapy and running assessment are the most commonly used services on the mountain.

  • Does insurance or ICBC cover a visit from Burnaby Mountain?

    Yes. The studio direct-bills ICBC and WorkSafeBC claims and most major extended health insurers, Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife, and Canada Life among them. MSP supplementary benefits apply for patients on premium assistance. If your plan cannot be billed directly, you get an itemized receipt to submit for reimbursement.

  • What happens at a first physiotherapy visit at Lougheed?

    The first session is 60 minutes: a review of your history, a focused assessment, an explanation of what the clinician finds, and treatment starting the same day rather than a separate visit. You leave with an outline of expected session count and what your coverage applies toward.

  • How do I book an appointment from SFU or UniverCity?

    Book online through JaneApp, choosing a practitioner, day, and time. You get a confirmation and a short intake form to complete first. Take the 145 bus down to Production Way-University Station, then ride one stop east on the Millennium Line to Lougheed Town Centre, a short walk from the studio.
