Active Rehabilitation is a program that is run by a licensed and registered kinesiologist. Think similar to personal training but more tailored towards injury education, injury prevention and movement awareness.
If you have never been to the gym and want to start learning how to move or you have been in a motor vehicle accident and afraid to go back to the gym, the active rehab program is perfect for you. Moreover, it’s fully funded by ICBC under your claim.
What Is Active Rehabilitation?
Active Rehab are private individualized treatment sessions led by a registered kinesiologist to focus on body movement mechanics, proper stretching and recovery exercises as well as improving strength and muscle mass.
During the initial session, the kinesiologist will learn about your goals, your level of fitness, your movement restrictions and will plan an individualized program to help you achieve your goals when it comes to your fitness and mobility limitations.
The Benefits of Active Rehabilitation
Active recovery programs have several benefits for your health improvement. Some of them include:
- Core Stability and Strengthening
- Spinal Health and Alignment
- Car Accident Recovery – Covered Under ICBC
- Sport Specific Rehabilitation and Injury Prevention
What to Expect in Active Recovery Sessions?
The treatment will start with a thorough 1:1 initial assessment. The therapist takes time to get to know you and understand your limitations and concerns.
Each follow-up session is approximately 45 minutes long. All sessions are private and the kinesiologists work closely with you to ensure you are performing the prescribed exercises and stretches correctly and effectively. They will then create a home care plan so that you can continue your recovery journey independently.
Active Rehab Sessions Do NOT Require Doctor's Referral.
