What we do
We treat the injury, then rebuild the strength and movement that prevent the next one. Your physiotherapist assesses how you move under the demands of your sport, not just at rest, and builds the plan around your sport and your timeline. The goal is not just pain-free, it is ready to return with confidence.
Recovery is staged. Early on we settle the pain and protect the injury with hands-on treatment; from there the work turns active, progressively loading the tissue so it holds up under a sprint, a cut, a lift, or a swing. Because the clinic is multidisciplinary, your physiotherapist can bring in kinesiology for supervised strength work or acupuncture for stubborn tension, all from the same building and the same plan.
Is this you?
- You have sprained, strained, or torn something and want a clear path back to your sport.
- A recurring injury flares up every season and you want to understand why.
- You are training toward an event and something has started to hurt.
- You came back too soon last time and do not want to repeat it.
- You want more than rest and ice, you want to know when it is safe to load it again.
Your first visit
Most patients leave knowing exactly what is wrong, what is going to fix it, and roughly how long it should take.
The full story
Your physiotherapist asks how the injury happened, what your sport demands, and what returning actually looks like for you, whether that is a podium or a weekend hike.
A movement assessment
They test strength, range, and how you move under load, then trace the injury to its cause so the plan addresses why it happened, not just where it hurts.
A staged plan
You get a clear picture of the stages between now and return, what each one needs, and a realistic timeline. No vague rest it and see.
Treatment the same day
Hands-on treatment starts in the first session, and you leave knowing exactly what to do, what to avoid, and when to progress.

Common questions
What patients ask most before their first visit.
Have another question? Call (604) 281-3345- Do I need a referral for sports physiotherapy?
- No. You can book directly in BC. If your extended health plan asks for a referral before it reimburses, check your own policy first.
- When can I get back to my sport?
- Your physiotherapist gives you a realistic timeline after the first assessment, based on the injury and your sport. The plan is built in stages so you return when the tissue can handle the load, not before, which is what prevents re-injury.
- Should I rest it or keep moving?
- It depends on the injury, and that is exactly what the assessment determines. For most sports injuries complete rest sets you back; the right kind of loading at the right time is what rebuilds it. We tell you which applies to you.
- Do you treat my specific sport?
- Yes. The principles of loading and recovery apply across sports, and the plan is tailored to the demands of yours, whether that is running, skiing, racquet sports, lifting, or a team sport.
- How much does it cost?
- An initial assessment runs roughly $110 to $135 and follow-ups roughly $90 to $110. Most extended health plans reimburse a significant share, and WorkSafeBC and ICBC visits are typically covered in full with nothing to pay upfront.
