Active Rehabilitation in
North Burnaby
What is Active Rehabilitation?
ICBC used to refer to kinesiology services as active rehabilitation. Many clinics still use this term. LIfemoves is an approved ICBC active rehab provider in Burnaby.
Your injuries do not have to be related to an ICBC to benefit from active rehabilitation. Kinesiologists are experts in human movement who primarily use exercise and physical activity (active rehab) to help people regain the strength and confidence to return to the activities they enjoyed before their injury or injuries.
We have a team of experienced Kinesiologists in Burnaby. Our philosophy is that your body is a linked, interconnected, and reactive system that you can positively influence.
For example, a rotator cuff injury could result from neck issues or shoulder joint instability, or a chronic knee problem could stem from instability in the hips or ankles.
Are Active Rehab and Kinesiology Sessions Covered by Health Benefits?
Yes, Kinesiologists can now also bill directly to health benefit plans. We are listed practitioners with Canada Life and Sun Life, from whom we often receive referrals for long-term disability claims to help injured workers return to work. Check with your employer and benefits plan provider to find out more.
Additionally, any person injured in a motor vehicle accident in British Columbia automatically has 12 kinesiology sessions from the date of injury to 3 months afterwards. This funding can be extended by submitting a treatment plan to ICBC.

How to Get Started with Active Rehabilitation in Burnaby
Under our supervision, you will be taught how to complete each exercise in a proper and progressive manner to maximize your recovery and prevent re-injury. We also have a number of health care professionals to refer you to when we feel that you need further treatment outside of our skill set or scopes.
A complete history is taken during your initial assessment. This includes past injuries and surgeries which affect the way you move today. We then complete some video analysis and other manual tests. Our goal is to determine the root of your injury instead of treating the symptom.
