SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY & REHAB IN NORTH BURNABY

Why clients in North Burnaby choose us.

Sports physiotherapy and rehab in North Burnaby runs from our studio in Kensington Square Shopping Centre, at Kensington Ave and Hastings St. It serves the Heights, Hastings-Sunrise, Capitol Hill and the runners, cyclists and team-sport players who train around Burnaby. The injuries we see are sprains, muscle strains, tendon pain and overuse pain, and the first visit is an assessment of what is loading the injured area.

Care is led by physiotherapists licensed by the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC. Their profiles describe a range of sports experience. Keane Leung's profile lists his work as a therapist for a university cross country and track team, and with runners and baseball players. Ravi Bhangoo's profile lists athletes returning to sport. Jocelyn Chan's profile lists sport-specific injuries. Katherine Fong, a kinesiologist, lists sports rehabilitation and sport-specific training as a special interest.

The studio has a gym floor with a squat rack, dumbbells, a bench and a spin bike, so the loading stage of rehab happens during your visit. For general aches without a sport link, see our North Burnaby physiotherapy page. For soft-tissue work around an injury, see our North Burnaby registered massage therapy page.

Free parking on site and a gym floor in the same studio make it easy to keep a rehab plan going through the training week.

"I had such a great experience at Launch Rehab, especially with Wen. When I first started treatment, I couldn’t even raise my right arm because of my shoulder injury. Wen was incredibly caring, responsible, and professional throughout my recovery. He really took the time to understand my condition, listen to my concerns, and guide me through the recovery process with so much patience and care. Not only is he excellent at what he does, but his kindness and supportive personality made a huge difference in my experience. The entire clinic is wonderful as well. The front desk staff are always friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I’m truly grateful for all the care I received and would highly recommend Wen and Launch Rehab to anyone looking for a professional, caring, and supportive rehabilitation clinic! ❤️"

FAQ

Sports Physiotherapy & Rehab in North Burnaby: questions.

Where is the sports physiotherapy studio in North Burnaby?

+

Our North Burnaby studio is in Kensington Square Shopping Centre, at Kensington Ave and Hastings St, a short drive from the Heights, Hastings-Sunrise and Capitol Hill. Client parking on site is free and the lot is shared with the grocery store, so a spot is usually easy to find before and after training.

Who treats sports injuries at the North Burnaby studio?

+

Physiotherapists at the North Burnaby studio treat sports injuries, and several profiles mention sport. Keane Leung lists work with runners and baseball players, Ravi Bhangoo lists athletes returning to sport, and Jocelyn Chan lists sport-specific injury. Katherine Fong, a kinesiologist, lists sports rehabilitation as a special interest. You can read each profile on our team page before you book.

Is sports physiotherapy different from regular physiotherapy in North Burnaby?

+

Sports physiotherapy in North Burnaby is physiotherapy with the plan built around your sport. The assessment, billing and clinicians are the same as our regular physiotherapy visits. The difference is the questions about training load and sport movements, and a return-to-sport stage at the end. Your physiotherapist decides how much of that applies to your injury.

Does the North Burnaby studio have a gym for rehab?

+

Yes. The North Burnaby studio has a gym floor with a squat rack, a dumbbell rack, a bench and a spin bike. Your physiotherapist uses it for the loading stage of rehab, where strength and control are rebuilt, so you can practise the exercises with guidance during the session and then repeat them on your own between visits.

How quickly can I book a sports injury appointment in North Burnaby?

+

Most weeks the North Burnaby studio has new-client availability within 24 to 72 hours. An early assessment matters after a sprain or strain, because the physiotherapist can set load limits before you train on the injury again. Book online through the booking page and choose North Burnaby and physiotherapy as the service.

Do I need a referral for sports physiotherapy in North Burnaby?

+

No referral is needed for sports physiotherapy in North Burnaby when you pay through MSP, extended health or self-pay. A crash claim through ICBC or an accepted WorkSafeBC claim does not need one either. Bring your claim number to the first visit and the client care team bills the claim directly once it is approved.

Should I see a physiotherapist or a massage therapist for a sports injury?

+

See a physiotherapist first when you have a new injury, because a physiotherapist assesses the cause and leads the plan. A registered massage therapist treats the soft tissue around the injury and can join the plan. Both work from the North Burnaby studio, and each is billed as its own visit, so check your extended health limits.

Can I use ICBC for a sports injury in North Burnaby?

+

ICBC covers injuries from a crash, and an injury from playing sport is paid through MSP-eligible rates, extended health or self-pay. If a crash has also affected your training, tell us at booking. The North Burnaby team confirms what applies to your case before the first visit, and ICBC pre-approved sessions have no charge to you.

This page gives general information. Medical advice and a diagnosis come from a regulated practitioner who assesses you, and that person can confirm what applies to your situation.
