Physiotherapy – Burnaby | Vancouver

At Total Therapy’s physiotherapy division, we strive to make a positive impact on your life. Our physiotherapists are university-educated health practitioners dedicated to accurately assessing musculoskeletal disorders. Our approach at Total Therapy is pragmatic: does the treatment work for the patient and is it supported by research?

Each physiotherapy treatment program is individually designed to best address your needs and goals. During your first physiotherapy session, your physiotherapist will perform a comprehensive assessment to accurately identify the underlying disorder and provide you with an effective treatment plan. Our physiotherapists use a variety of drug-free techniques to restore maximal function and reduce pain. Your treatment plan may include manual therapy and joint mobilizations, transverse friction massage and active release therapy, the use of modalities such as ultrasound and external electrical stimulation, hydro/cryotherapy, and acupuncture to name a few.

On your first physiotherapy session, you will be provided with educational information to help you manage your condition, thus optimizing the healing process and reducing the possibility of re-injury. Our physiotherapists emphasize exercise and active therapy and will introduce you to appropriate range of motion, stabilization, and strength exercises as soon as it is safe to do so. Knowledge and empowerment are key to a successful outcome. As a part of your treatment, you will be provided with an individualized exercise home program so that you will have the tools to return to or even exceed your pre-injury level of function.

Our practitioners regularly attend educational seminars to stay current on the latest treatment techniques to ensure that the care you receive is of the highest quality. Moreover, we have full working gyms at both of our facilities, enabling you to perform your rehabilitative exercises on site.

You do not need a physician’s referral to attend physiotherapy, unless you are an ICBC or WorkSafeBC client. Some extended health plans do require a physician’s referral for coverage. Please review your private insurance plan.

We welcome you to discover our friendly, professional, and caring environment.
