ABOUT
WHAT DOES ICBC PHYSIOTHERAPY CARE LOOK LIKE AT PRIME PHYSIOTHERAPY?
We will provide treatment to get you back on your feet as quickly as possible. In addition, we will design a personalized home exercise program to get you moving safely. The end goal will always be reducing pain and restoring functional movement so you can get back to the things you love as quickly as possible.
All of your sessions at Prime physiotherapy are one-on-one with just you and your therapist. We will never juggle multiple clients at the same time. This way, you will have our complete attention and care at all times during your treatment. We find this approach allows us to build a trustworthy relationship with you so that we can help you get back to your regular routines as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Our clinicians use an active-based approach where we will prescribe and teach you individually tailored therapeutic exercises. With our hyper-focused guidance, support and motivation, you will have the accountability required to return to life before your accident safely and swiftly. You will also be empowered with the knowledge to safely continue your home exercise program on your own.
During the early phases of recovery from your motor vehicle accident, you may require more hands-on treatment from your physiotherapist. Although our philosophy is an active-based model, our physiotherapists are extremely well versed on manual treatments and modalities. Our evidence based treatment will assure that you get the proper care to expedite your recovery.

WHAT DOES AN ICBC PHYSIOTHERAPY SESSION LOOK LIKE?
Your first ICBC physiotherapy assessment will start with a detailed discussion about your current issues, past medical history, previous and current lifestyle, and your goals. The physiotherapist will then take you through a complete physical examination to determine your range of motion, flexibility, movement patterns, neurological status, and may also have a feel of the soft tissues of the body part in question.
With their expertise, they will create a customized treatment plan with you with an active-based approach. This plan will involve educating you about your condition, assisting with symptom management through movement, strengthening and possible manual techniques, and provide you with a personalized exercise program with gradual progressions towards returning to your previous level of activity and/or work.
Your physiotherapist and your kinesiologists will work together as part of your recovery plan. To make sure you receive the most thorough care possible, we work as a team. Working with our multidisciplinary team, we make sure you return to the activities you enjoy doing as soon as it is safe to do so.

Anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident in British Columbia who has ICBC insurance is qualified for care, regardless of who is at fault for the accident. This also includes a pedestrian or bicyclist hit by a vehicle. Our Kinesiology and Physiotherapy services are 100% covered by your ICBC insurance. If you were a pedestrian or a cyclist, you will be covered by the insurance of the motorist who struck you.
Your team consisting of your physiotherapist and kinesiologist will stay in communication with your ICBC case manager (or legal representative if you choose that way) to provide progress reports, treatment extension requests, and any other documents required to ensure a smooth and stress-free recovery.

WHAT DOES AN ICBC ACTIVE REHABILITATION SESSION WITH A KINESIOLOGIST LOOK LIKE?
Your first appointment will begin with a functional assessment to assess your current limitations and address the major areas of concern. Areas for consideration include: range of motion, joint stability, muscle strength and overall functional movement patterns including day to day tasks associated with your specific needs. Then you will discuss and create goals with your clinician to formulate your treatment plan.
Your clinician will work with you to create a specific exercise program with you during each session to address the issues caused by your motor vehicle accident noted in the initial assessment. Your functional abilities and goals will be regularly reevaluated throughout the process, and any necessary adjustments will be made. This procedure will take care of every aspect of your physical rehabilitation, assist you in getting back to your pre-accident routine in terms of everyday tasks, leisure activities, and sports, and help you avoid re-injury in the future.
Your kinesiologist will work alongside the rest of your care team and will communicate with your ICBC (or legal representative) to provide progress reports, and treatment extension requests to ensure that you receive the support you need to return to your regular daily activities. As always with ICBC claims, these services are 100% covered by your motor vehicle insurance.
