Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services assess and treat musculoskeletal and neurological conditions to restore mobility. We use manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and patient education to address injuries and chronic pain. Tailored rehabilitation plans ensure optimal recovery for patients in Vernon and North Okanagan.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles to relieve pain and improve health. Our therapists use anatomical acupuncture techniques for conditions like headaches, stress, and joint pain. This evidence-based approach complements physiotherapy for enhanced recovery outcomes.
Vestibular Treatment
Vestibular treatment addresses dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues caused by inner ear problems. Our specialists use targeted exercises and manual therapy to restore equilibrium. This service is effective for concussion-related symptoms and chronic vestibular dysfunction.
Sports Injuries
Sports injury rehabilitation treats acute and chronic athletic injuries. We employ hands-on therapy and customized exercise programs to accelerate recovery. Our team works with athletes of all levels, from recreational to professional, ensuring safe return to activity.

Questions
Do I need a doctor's referral for physiotherapy?
No referral is required, but some insurance providers may need one for reimbursement. WorkSafe BC and ICBC claims do not require referrals.
Will I pay for physiotherapy if I have MSP coverage?
Premium assistance recipients get 10 reduced-rate sessions annually for physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage, and podiatry services.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear loose-fitting clothing like shorts and a T-shirt to allow movement assessment. We provide extra clothing if needed.
What happens during the first physiotherapy session?
The physiotherapist assesses your injury through medical history discussion and physical evaluation. They will explain findings and discuss treatment options before starting care.
Should I use heat or ice for my injury?
Apply ice for acute injuries using the R.I.C.E. principle. Use heat for chronic issues if ice proves ineffective, following professional guidance.
Can I consult a physiotherapist over the phone first?
Yes, we can answer basic questions via phone, but an in-person assessment is recommended for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
