ICBC Active Rehab – Now offered at WestcoastSCI!

by Feb 13, 2018Treatment

What is Active Rehabilitation?

The goal of active rehab is to correct movement patterns and posture as a result of your ICBC injury or pain. Through exercise prescription and education from your kinesiologist, our goal is to allow you to return to work, sport and recreational activities you love pain free. Our kinesiologists will begin by assessing your current movement patterns and limits to range of motion. Through the use of targeted mobility exercise, stretching and coaching, we will teach you proper posture and correct movement patterns to create a pain free range of motion. Next, our kinesiologists will create an individualized exercise program to increase stability, balance and strengthen weakened muscles. We tailor all our exercise programs to help you return to your specific sport or activities. Throughout the entire process, our kinesiologists will educate you and help develop a plan to allow you to return to work or full activity.

Active Rehabilitation is an important part of the later stages of the recovery process. Working with our kinesiologists will help improve your health and prevent re injury. Our goal is always to give you the tools and education to continue exercise on your own in a safe and effective manner. Our kinesiologists are also able to provide reports for your lawyer or adjustor as needed.

Please contact us by phone or email to book your first appointment. We will need to ensure you have the correct information and referrals to receive coverage from ICBC for active rehabilitation with a Kinesiologist. Please contact us with the following information:

  • ICBC claim number

  • Doctor’s referral (if you have one)

  • Adjustor name

A really good place for physio, went in for a couple issues that I wasn't really clear about, after a couple tests and questions the team member helping me (Jas) instantly figured out what was wrong and helped direct me in the right direction! Great knowledge, extremely helpful, now I don't feel any discomfort! Highly recommend Westcoast SCI for physiotherapy.

I started working with Jasdeep at Westcoast Physio last year and she and the whole have been great! Very thorough with the initial assessment and put together a comprehensive plan I could follow and complete easily at home. Also really liked that they had a Patient Portal where I can track my exercises. Seen some great improvements so far with my injured shoulder. Highly recommend a visit!

What stood out to me immediately about Westcost SCI is captured perfectly in a portion of a recent email newsletter from them. I’ve copied it below. This one-on-one time and complete dedication to the individual patient for the entire duration of the appointment is such an excellent patient-experience. I had been frustrated in the past at other clinics by the overlapping appointments, where you get maybe 10 or 15 minutes of time with the therapist. from newsletter: ‘‘the one-on-one time we spend with you for the entire duration of your session is not common at other clinics. We don’t run between rooms, seeing multiple patients at a time while a TENS machine or heat pad, you could use at home, is passively delivered. We listen to you and treat you as a whole person with a life outside of whatever brought you to our clinic. This includes the parts of your life that you may not even realize impact your recovery.’’ I was lucky enough to get to see Tom for my appointments – he is amazing. There are a lot of people out there giving the minimum viable effort to their job, and just waiting to get home every day. Tom falls completely on the other side of that spectrum. He gives more energy, investment, and care to his work than is reasonable to expect. Every appointment was a refreshing experience in feeling listened to, heard, and invested in. Tom actually cared if I got better. He wasn’t just trying to check boxes and move onto his next appointment. He was ALWAYS open to any question I had, providing evidence-backed (like, actually explaining the ‘why’ to me with evidence) answers. If he didn’t have a complete answer off the top of his head, he actually followed up next time after having done some additional reading/research. I asked A LOT of questions, I am comforted by information and understanding, but Tom was literally NEVER dismissive, never tried to steer me away from questions or move onto the next thing with an awkward non-answer segue (these are all things I have experienced with my incessant questions habit in other settings). If you aren’t a ‘questions’ person, or you have another different unique need or quirk, I’m confident Tom would pick up on it and respond to your personal, individual needs. He’s a complete pro. I was, and am, so impressed. If you are looking for an effective, dedicated, committed physiotherapy experience, Westcost SCI is the place to go.

Had a lovely experience. Tom was very thorough and listened to all my concerns, never rushed me, and made sure I was comfortable and understood why we were doing each test/exercise. My injury felt a bit better even after just one visit!

Eduardo (Eddie) at Westcoast SCI is very knowledgeable and well informed with current evidence-based therapy. Under Eddie's care, I felt I was able to get ahead of the "tsunami" resulting from the concussion and soft issue injuries. Eddie's treatment flatten my anticipated pain curve. Eddie is my physiotherapist of choice to best guide me through my recovery process.
