Physiotherapy for knee pain and ACL injuries in North Burnaby.

Often yes, at a modified level. Complete rest is rarely the answer for knee pain, and total load reduction can leave the knee weaker. The skill is finding the amount and type of activity the knee tolerates now, then building from there. Your therapist helps you adjust training rather than stop it, unless the injury genuinely needs a pause.

No. Exercise and strength work are a first-line option for knee osteoarthritis and can reduce pain and delay or avoid replacement for many people. If surgery is considered, that decision belongs to a surgeon, and prehab beforehand tends to smooth the recovery.

We are on Hastings Street in the Heights, with parking on site, a short trip for residents of North Burnaby, the Heights and East Vancouver near the Burnaby border.

Yes. A knee injured in a collision is covered under ICBC's pre-approved physiotherapy program with no referral needed. Bring your claim number to the first visit and we bill ICBC directly, so your file keeps moving without extra paperwork on your end throughout your recovery.

Your physiotherapist tests the ligaments, checks kneecap tracking, measures swelling and range of motion, and screens for injuries that need a surgeon or imaging. The visit runs about 45 to 60 minutes and ends with a graded plan built around what was found. You leave with a short list of exercises to start that same week.

Yes. A lot of what we see at this studio is load-related knee pain from trades work, ladders, kneeling, and long days on hard surfaces. The plan focuses on the specific tasks that provoke the pain and builds tolerance for them rather than a generic exercise sheet.

Yes, we direct bill most major extended health plans, including Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life and Green Shield, up to your plan limit, and you pay any balance on the day. This is the same billing process used for a general physiotherapy visit at any Launch Rehab studio.

Yes, free on-site parking with no meters at Kensington Square, which makes the regular sessions knee strength work needs easier to keep up. Street parking on Hastings is also available if the lot is full, so a longer strengthening plan does not become a parking hassle.
