Physiotherapy for knee pain and ACL injuries in Richmond.

No. Many meniscus tears settle with rehab and never need an operation. Surgery is considered for specific patterns, such as a knee that locks. The plan starts by settling the knee and rebuilding strength, which is useful whether or not surgery is on the table.

Exercise and strength work are a first-line option for knee osteoarthritis and can reduce pain and delay or avoid joint replacement for many people. If and when surgery is considered, that decision belongs to a surgeon, and prehab beforehand tends to smooth the recovery.

We are in the Broadmoor neighbourhood at the northeast corner of Williams Road and No. 3 Road, with parking on site. It is an easy drive from Steveston, Ironwood and central Richmond.

Early physiotherapy, whether or not you go on to have surgery, helps settle swelling and keep the knee moving while you and a surgeon decide on the surgical question. Bring any imaging you have from a walk-in or emergency visit and we build the rehab plan around it.

Yes. A knee injury that started 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, and we handle any updates ICBC requests on your progress as the claim moves forward.

Your physiotherapist tests the ligaments, checks the kneecap's 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, plus a short list of exercises to start that week.

Yes. A lot of what we see is overuse pain such as runner's knee or patellar tendinopathy rather than a single traumatic injury. The plan focuses on the loading pattern behind the pain, usually strength and control work, so you can get back to running rather than just resting until it settles.

Yes, if your knee injury is work-related and the claim is accepted. Bring your claim details and our client care coordinators handle the billing directly with WorkSafeBC, including the progress updates a case manager typically requests as your return-to-work plan develops toward full duties over the following weeks.
