ICBC Kinesiology and Active Rehabilitation
For those injured in a motor vehicle accident, kinesiology is a cornerstone of recovery and is pre-approved by ICBC under their Enhanced Care program. This means you can begin your recovery journey without delay or out-of-pocket expenses. Our team is an expert in kinesiology for ICBC claims. The process focuses on:
-
Pain Reduction: Using gentle, controlled movements to decrease inflammation and stiffness in areas like the neck and back, which are common after whiplash.
-
Restoring Mobility: Gradually reintroducing movement to joints that have become guarded and stiff due to pain and trauma.
-
Rebuilding Strength: Targeting the deep stabilizing muscles of the spine and core that are often weakened in an MVA, providing a strong foundation for a full recovery.
-
Functional Restoration: Progressing your program to include exercises that mimic daily life tasks, ensuring you can return to work and your regular activities with confidence.
Post-Surgical and Injury Recovery
Surgery is only the first step; the rehabilitation that follows is what determines the long-term outcome. Our kinesiologists work in conjunction with your surgeon’s protocols to provide structured post-surgical rehabilitation exercises. We guide you through the critical phases of recovery, from initial activation and range of motion to building strength and returning to sport or activity. This is essential for ACL reconstructions, rotator cuff repairs, hip/knee replacements, and spinal surgeries. We ensure you regain not just strength, but proper biomechanics to protect the surgical site and the surrounding joints.
Sport Specific Training & Injury Prevention for Athletes
Our Abbotsford facility isn’t just a rehab clinic; it’s also a high-performance athletic centre where the principles of kinesiology are applied to help athletes and active individuals reach their full potential. Here, the focus shifts from rehabilitation to optimization. Our kinesiologists, acting as strength and conditioning coaches, use a data-driven approach to enhance your athletic abilities, whether you’re a competitive athlete, a weekend warrior, or simply someone looking to take their fitness to the next level.
The best way to treat an injury is to prevent it from ever happening. For athletes, durability is just as important as performance. Our kinesiologists are experts in injury prevention for athletes. By identifying and addressing underlying issues through a functional movement screening, we can correct asymmetries and faulty movement patterns before they lead to injury. For example, addressing poor hip mobility in a soccer player can prevent downstream knee or ankle injuries. By strengthening stabilizing muscles around the shoulders, we can reduce the risk of throwing injuries in baseball players. This proactive approach keeps you in the game and training consistently, which is the true key to long-term athletic development.
Unique Insight: Many people draw a hard line between “rehab” and “performance.” Our philosophy is that they are a continuum. The same principles that rebuild a stable core in a back-pain client are used to enhance force transfer for a golfer. The same understanding of biomechanics that helps a post-surgical knee regain function is used to improve a basketball player’s jumping mechanics. Our unique advantage is that our kinesiologists operate in both worlds. Your performance training is informed by a deep clinical understanding of injury, and your rehabilitation is guided by a clear vision of returning you to a high level of function. This integrated approach ensures you build a body that is not only high-performing but also robust and resilient.
