Active Rehab

Recovering from a motor vehicle accident injury can be tough, but Achieve Rehab is here to help. Our one-on-one active rehab program, led by skilled Kinesiologists, is essential for your recovery. 

We focus on realigning your body and restoring mobility through personalized exercises. If you’ve been in an accident in BC, you qualify for our tailored program to aid your rehabilitation journey.

What is Active Rehab?

Our Active Rehabilitation program is crafted to restore physical function post-traumatic injury, such as those from motor vehicle accidents, sports, or work-related incidents. Referrals can come directly from ICBC, WSBC, lawyers, or therapists.

Led by a Registered Kinesiologist, the program involves a comprehensive assessment, including job demands analysis and a written report. Recommendations from therapists guide the creation of a tailored exercise plan, potentially including a gradual return to work strategy.

Our goal is to swiftly restore full movement function while helping patients integrate exercise into their long-term lifestyle for sustained benefits beyond program completion.
