ICBC Active Rehab Kinesiology in Burnaby

Active rehab is a broader term referring to an exercise therapy program led by a kinesiologist. It uses movement-based activities, unlike passive treatments, such as chiropractic, massage therapy, rest, ultrasound or IMS to help people recover from surgeries or injuries.

Kinesiologists approved by ICBC in British Columbia are practicing members of the British Columbia Association of Kinesiologists and are in good standing.

ICBC active rehab an old term that many clinics and the public still use. It is now billed directly to ICBC as Kinesiology.

We understand that after an injury, people need guidance on which exercises and physical activities will help rather than worsen their condition. 

Kinesiology sessions at Lifemoves take place in a sensory-friendly, distraction-free space so people can focus on getting the most out of each exercise.

One of the goals of the active rehab program is to teach you the skills and help you gain the confidence to exercise independently. This is so that you can be active for many years on.

If your injuries were more than three months ago, you need to contact your claims specialist to request and verify approval of funding for kinesiology. ICBC will often recommend working with a kinesiologist to enhance your recovery.

They will often approve an initial assessment and a few kinesiology treatments to begin. The next step is to book the initial assessment at our Burnaby Kensington location and forward the correspondence confirming funding to Lifemoves.

After the first appointment, your kinesiologist will complete and submit a treatment plan to ICBC to request additional funding.

A new treatment plan needs to be submitted to ICBC if the visits are completed or if they are not completed within the first three months.

A kinesiologist will complete a mini-reassessment at the 10th or 11th visit and then submit a new treatment plan to request additional funding. This can happen several times during recovery until you are strong enough for discharge.

Yes, ICBC will pay for exercise equipment, with limits. They will often pay for smaller items to assist with maintaining a home exercise equipment.
