Richmond Physiotherapy Sessions

At Proactive Health, we take a patient-first, movement-focused approach to physiotherapy, ensuring every treatment is tailored to your unique recovery needs. Your journey begins with an in-depth physiotherapy assessment, where our energetic and empathetic team evaluates your current function, range of motion, pain levels, strength, and coordination through:

• A detailed discussion of your medical history, past treatments, and insurance coverage, including ICBC claims for motor vehicle accident rehabilitation
• A comprehensive posture, balance, and gait analysis to pinpoint injury-related movement patterns
• Hands-on assessment of musculoskeletal structures, muscles, and soft tissues to identify pain points, strains, and sprains
• Specialized tests to diagnose conditions such as shoulder, knee, neck, ankle, and hip injuries
• A customized treatment plan incorporating physiotherapy, kinesiology, registered massage therapy, and myofascial release to accelerate healing

These evolving treatment plans adapt as you progress toward full recovery, ensuring you receive the most effective care at every stage.

How Physiotherapy Helps You Heal

Under the care of our highly trained physiotherapists, kinesiologists, and registered massage therapists, patients gain both immediate relief and lasting solutions to get back to the activities they love.

Pain Relief and Restored Mobility – Expert manual therapy, myofascial release, and targeted strengthening exercises reduce inflammation, enhance flexibility, and restore natural movement. Activities like walking become effortless rather than labored.

Faster Recovery After Injury or Surgery – Early intervention prevents compensations that can lead to repeat injuries while improving blood circulation essential for tissue healing. Our therapists design post-surgical precautions and home exercise programs that reinforce surgical directives and prevent setbacks.

Reduced Risk of Re-Injury – Education is key to long-term recovery. We teach proper body mechanics for daily tasks like lifting, reaching, and sitting to protect vulnerable joints and muscles. Our team integrates kinesiology principles, functional training, and ergonomic strategies to ensure lasting wellness.

Customized Treatment Strategies – There are no one-size-fits-all protocols at Proactive Health. Every treatment plan is tailored to your unique lifestyle, mobility goals, and recovery timeline. We incorporate manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and registered massage therapy to promote holistic healing and full-body recovery.

What to Expect During Your Physiotherapy Journey

Each patient’s recovery is different, but physiotherapy generally follows this progression:

Pain Relief and Swelling Reduction – Gentle manual therapy, heat or ice therapy, and passive interventions help manage inflammation and discomfort so you can fully engage in rehabilitation.

Restoring Mobility and Flexibility – Carefully progressed stretching, joint mobilization, and soft tissue therapy improve range of motion and restore natural movement patterns.

Rebuilding Strength and Coordination – We target motor control, endurance, and functional strength so you can perform complex movements like climbing stairs, reaching overhead, or lifting with proper alignment.

Correcting Movement Patterns – Through hands-on guidance, tactile feedback, and movement coaching, we retrain your body to move efficiently and prevent future injuries.

Self-Management for Lasting Results – Patients leave with personalized home programs, activity modifications, and progress check-ins to ensure their long-term success. We provide direct billing to ICBC and other insurance providers, making recovery as seamless as possible.
