Physiotherapy in Westridge.

Not in Westridge itself. The nearest is Launch Rehab North Burnaby, at 6536 Hastings Street in Kensington Square, a short drive west along the Hastings corridor. It has been on this corner since 2015.

Yes. The North Burnaby studio has vestibular physiotherapists who assess dizziness, positional vertigo (BPPV), and balance loss, and build the strength and confidence that lower fall risk on Westridge's steep streets.

Yes. Barnet Marine Park's level foreshore path is a good early target, and the Burnaby Mountain trails a later one. We stage return-to-walking on how your symptoms respond, not a fixed timeline.

Yes. The North Burnaby studio regularly sees runners and hikers who pick up overuse injuries on Burnaby Mountain's steep grades: IT band syndrome, patellofemoral pain, plantar fasciitis, and ankle strains. A running or movement assessment can find the loading pattern behind the injury so it doesn't keep coming back after each recovery.

Launch Rehab North Burnaby offers physiotherapy, registered massage therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture and IMS, clinical counselling, clinical Pilates, kinesiology, pelvic floor physiotherapy, running assessment, and vestibular therapy. A Westridge resident managing arthritis and balance concerns together can see both a physiotherapist and a vestibular clinician at the same studio.

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. When your plan cannot be billed directly, you receive an itemized receipt to submit for reimbursement.

The first session is 60 minutes: a review of your history, a focused assessment, an explanation of the findings, and treatment starting that same day rather than a separate visit. You leave with a plan outlining expected session count and how any coverage applies to your care.

Booking is online through JaneApp: pick your practitioner, day, and time, and you get a confirmation plus a short intake form. The R5 Hastings St RapidBus runs the corridor to the studio at Hastings and Kensington, a short drive west along the inlet from Westridge.
