We make a point of providing exceptional healthcare

Your treatment plan will usually involve education, exercise, and manual therapy components. Depending on your condition, this may include joint mobilization, manual therapy, massage, work hardening, pain reduction techniques, acupuncture or dry needling, modalities, shockwave, and general fitness guidance.

A physiotherapist’s goal is to restore, maintain and maximize your strength, function, movement and overall well-being. We understand that everyone has different objectives. The demands on your body differ greatly depending on whether you work a heavy job, or have a baby, or run marathons, or all three! We will help you set and achieve appropriate end-points based on your injury and interests.

No. In British Columbia, the term Naturopathic Doctor is a regulated title. In order for someone to state that they are a Naturopathic Doctor or Naturopathic Physician in BC they must:

• Have a minimum of 3 years of pre-medical schooling with appropriate prerequisites
• Complete a 4-year doctorate degree, including a 1-year clinical residency, and attain a Doctor of Naturopathy
• Successfully complete two national board examinations (NPLEX), as well as provincial board examinations
• Stay up to date with medical standards through Continued Education requirements

Think of Physiotherapists as project managers for recovering from injuries. A good physio doesn’t just treat you or prescribe exercises but will understand and manage all aspects of your recovery. Physiotherapists combine in-depth knowledge of how the body works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability.

Even though this is a common question, there isn’t a single answer. All insurance plans are different:

• some extended health plans offer 100% coverage and unlimited sessions
• other health plans give a set dollar amount to “spend” on physiotherapy each year
• in general, it’s common for plans to cover $300 – $500 annually
• we offer direct billing to 3rd-party insurers, so feel free to call the clinic at 250.591.3730 if you have further questions

Remember, each plan varies. Some may require a Doctor’s referral or have other specific requirements, so it’s important that you get the details from your provider.
