SERVICES
How we can help.
Thirteen services across three streams — therapy, specialties, and activity-based. All delivered 1-on-1, by regulated practitioners, across five Metro Vancouver studios.
HOW WE CAN SUPPORT YOU
THERAPY
Hands-on care to alleviate pain, restore range of motion, and rebuild function. Physiotherapy leads most plans; RMT, chiropractic and kinesiology are coordinated where they add real value.
SPECIALTIES
Focused care when a specific diagnosis or symptom needs more than general rehab. Vestibular work, shockwave for chronic tendinopathy, IMS for nerve-driven muscle tension, dietetics, and counselling.
ACTIVITY-BASED
Performance and prevention — getting ahead of injury before it shows up. Movement screening for runners, cyclists and golfers, plus 1-on-1 Clinical Pilates for the deep stability behind it all.
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
Which service is right for you?
Most people book whatever a friend recommended or whatever Google surfaced first. Here is what we actually see in the studio — matched to the question we're asked most often.
Which service is right for me — physiotherapy, RMT, or chiropractic?
Physiotherapy is the broadest choice: it covers assessment, diagnosis-guided exercise, manual therapy, and return-to-function planning for most musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) focuses on soft-tissue work — muscle tension, circulation, and recovery from overuse — and is often used alongside physio. Chiropractic care centres on joint mobility, particularly in the spine. For most new injuries or complex presentations, physiotherapy is the recommended starting point; your clinician can coordinate with the other disciplines from there.
What conditions does vestibular therapy treat?
Vestibular therapy at Launch Rehab treats inner-ear and brain-based balance disorders, including BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), unilateral vestibular hypofunction, post-concussion dizziness, and balance impairment from aging or neurological events. It uses targeted repositioning manoeuvres and habituation exercises. A physiotherapist with vestibular training conducts a full assessment before any treatment begins.
Is shockwave therapy covered by insurance?
Shockwave therapy is typically billed under physiotherapy or chiropractic services, which are covered by most extended health plans. ICBC pre-approves shockwave as part of the active-care benefit for motor-vehicle-injury patients when clinically indicated. WorkSafeBC coverage depends on the adjudicator's approval. Our front desk verifies your coverage before the first session.
Can I see two different practitioners in the same week under ICBC?
Yes. ICBC's Enhanced Care model pre-approves visits across several disciplines simultaneously — physiotherapy, RMT, chiropractic, and kinesiology can all run in parallel during the first 12 weeks. Many clients combine a physiotherapist for assessment and active rehab with an RMT for soft-tissue work in the same week, especially in the acute phase.
