PHYSIOTHERAPY
Physiotherapy that moves with the way you live.
One-on-one physiotherapy that starts with an honest assessment and ends when you have what you came for.
OVERVIEW
What is physiotherapy?
Launch Rehab physiotherapy centres on one question: what is the actual reason you can't move the way you want to, and what will change it. Physiotherapy is a regulated health profession focused on movement and how it breaks down after an injury. In British Columbia, every physiotherapist is licensed by the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC (CHCPBC) and works to a defined scope of practice.
At Launch Rehab, a session is a conversation, an assessment and a plan. We use manual therapy (joint mobilization, soft-tissue work, IMS where indicated) paired with the exercises that actually change the tissue over the next two to six weeks. The same physiotherapist who assesses you is the one who treats you and progresses the plan.
We see post-MVA injuries through ICBC, work injuries through WorkSafeBC, MSP-eligible conditions, and private extended-health cases. Roughly half of our clients walk in after a crash; the other half are dealing with persistent pain from sport, work, or life.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Your session, step by step.
Assessment
A full subjective and objective assessment in the first session: history, movement testing, neurological screen if relevant. You leave with a working diagnosis and a written plan.
Manual therapy
Hands-on joint mobilization, soft-tissue release and (when appropriate) IMS or dry needling. The goal is to change pain and movement in the room, not just to relax you for an hour.
Active rehab
A short, specific exercise progression you can actually do, at home, in the gym, or in our studio space. Reviewed and progressed every visit, not handed over to an assistant.
Movement analysis
Where appropriate we film and analyze the movement you're returning to (running, lifting, golf) so the plan addresses the actual loading pattern, not a generic one.

ICBC COVERAGE
ICBC physiotherapy after a car accident
If you have been in a motor vehicle accident, you can access physiotherapy through ICBC's Enhanced Care program without a doctor's referral. ICBC covers the cost of treatment directly. There is no out-of-pocket expense for accepted claims. You can book at any of our five studios and we handle the ICBC billing on your behalf. For complex or extended cases, our physiotherapists work with ICBC case managers to support your full recovery plan.

KIND WORDS
What our clients say.
"I’ve been going to Launch Rehab in New West for a few years and I love that they’ve expanded to Lougheed! Been receiving outstanding care from Kevin here with physio, dry needling, and cupping. I appreciate that Kevin is invested in my progress. RMT Tasso has also been fantastic and they talk to each other to organize my goals of care which is amazing!

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
No. Physiotherapy in BC is a direct-access profession, so you can book without a doctor's referral. Some extended-health plans still require a referral for reimbursement, so check with your insurer if that is how you are paying.
