Identifying the Root Cause of Pain: It can be frustrating when you’re in pain and don’t know where to turn. Our physiotherapy experts will work with you to identify the root cause of your pain and create a personalized treatment plan to reduce it quickly.

Whether you’re recovering from a concussion, whiplash, or a sports injury, our tailored rehabilitation programs are designed to restore your physical abilities. Using advanced techniques such as spinal decompression and occupational therapy, we help you regain your confidence and get back to doing what you love most.
You’ve just suffered an injury, and the last thing you want is to go through it again. We’ll equip you with tools such as active rehab programs, functional training, and corrective exercises to help you prevent future setbacks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during physiotherapy sessions?
Physiotherapy sessions typically involve an assessment of your condition, manual therapy techniques to improve mobility and flexibility, individualized exercises, and personalized treatment plans. Your physiotherapist will focus on treating your chronic pain, if applicable, while also providing education on pain management and future injury prevention.
Do I need a referral from my doctor before attending Physiotherapy?
No, you do not need a referral to receive physiotherapy services at Proactive Health in Richmond, BC. Whether you’re seeking treatment for lower back pain, car accident injuries, or recovering from a sports injury, you can book an appointment directly.
What do I need to wear or bring with me?
Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows for movement, especially if your treatment includes active rehabilitation or physical therapy. If you’ve had a motor vehicle accident or are seeking hand therapy, bringing any medical history, such as an ICBC claim or imaging results, would be helpful.
Is there anything I can do before my appointment to prepare?
Yes! It helps to arrive well-rested. This allows your physiotherapist to gauge your pain levels and provide effective treatments tailored to your needs.
How long will my physiotherapy sessions last?
Sessions usually last 30-60 minutes. This depends on the physiotherapy treatments required, whether it’s manual therapy, vestibular therapy, or post-surgical rehabilitation.
Are there any exercises I can do at home between appointments to help improve my condition?
Yes! Your physiotherapist will give you specific exercises to complement your in-clinic physiotherapy care. This is key to active rehabilitation, helping with conditions like neck pain, lower back pain, and motor vehicle injuries. The goal is to help you recover quickly and reduce the need for future treatments.
What if I have questions after my physiotherapy session?
If you have any questions about your physiotherapy appointment or your ICBC claim for motor vehicle injuries, our Richmond clinic is available to assist. You can also inquire about direct billing options or extended health plans at any time.
Will insurance cover my physiotherapy?
Many insurance companies, including WorkSafeBC and ICBC, offer coverage for physiotherapy sessions. Our clinic offers direct billing to make the process easier for you, allowing you to focus on recovery from workplace injuries or motor vehicle accidents.
How often will I need to attend physiotherapy sessions?
The frequency depends on your treatment plan and goals. For most cases, including treatment for chronic pain or workplace injuries, it’s typical to attend 2-3 times per week for 4-6 weeks. Our experienced physiotherapists will customize your plan based on your recovery progress.
How long will it take for me to see results?
Every condition is unique, but with a dedicated personalized treatment plan, you should start seeing improvements within a few weeks. Regular attendance, along with at-home exercises for conditions like low back pain or sports injuries, can speed up your recovery.
Will my physiotherapist be able to answer any questions I have about my condition?
Absolutely. Our registered physiotherapists are trained to provide detailed information about your condition, whether it’s chronic pain management, spinal decompression, or recovery from motor vehicle injuries. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions during or after your physiotherapy sessions.
What if I feel too much pain during a session?
If you experience discomfort or increased pain during your physiotherapy treatments, let your therapist know immediately. They will adjust the treatment intensity to ensure your comfort while still providing effective treatment for conditions like neck pain, lower back pain, or other injuries.
How will I know when I no longer need physiotherapy?
Your physiotherapist will track your progress through your personalized treatment plan. Once you have achieved your health goals—whether recovering from a sports injury or chronic pain—your therapist will advise when it’s appropriate to stop. They will also provide guidance on how to prevent future injuries through active rehabilitation.
