What Is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a medical, hands-on approach to relieving pain and restoring function. Physiotherapy services include a broad range of treatment approaches that can help individuals live supported, strong, and mobile lives. Physiotherapists are medical experts in musculoskeletal and neurological conditions and work closely with physicians, strength & conditioning coaches, massage therapists, and additional practitioners to help you reach optimal health.
Our Kelowna-based physiotherapists evaluate your movement patterns, identify the cause of your pain, and work with you to eliminate it. While every client’s condition and pain are unique, your physiotherapist will use a variety of gentle hands-on techniques, exercises, and equipment to relieve pain quickly and restore your function to optimum levels. The overall goal is to restore pain-free mobility and function and to prevent the injury or pain from recurring.
We also offer direct billing to most major insurance companies as well as ICBC. Please see our direct billing page for more information.

Concussions- What you Need to Know:
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that occurs when the head suddenly and violently hits an object. This can cause the brain to move around inside the skull, which can lead to bruising, tearing, and bleeding. Concussions can also occur when the head receives a sudden impact, even if there is no direct contact with the object. For example, a concussion may occur if you are in a car accident and your head snaps forward and then back again.
There are three stages of concussion:
- Grade I concussion: This is the least serious type of concussion. There are no symptoms other than brief confusion.
- Grade II concussion: This is a more serious concussion that can cause vomiting, headache, difficulty waking up, and blurred vision.
- Grade III concussion: This is the most serious type of concussion and can cause loss of consciousness, memory problems, seizures, and paralysis.
If you think you or someone else may have a concussion, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible. There are many ways to treat a concussion, but the most important thing is to rest and avoid any activity that could make the symptoms worse. If you have a concussion, you should not return to your normal activities until your symptoms have completely resolved.
Your doctor may refer you to a physiotherapist or an occupational therapist to help you recover from your concussion. Physiotherapy and Occupational therapy can help with symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and balance problems and they can help with symptoms such as fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and memory problems.
