Active Rehabilitation is an individualized program to meet your goals and functional needs with respect to lifestyle, work or sport.

We do offer Personal Training packages at a discounted rate! Please call to inquire or ask the front desk if you are interested in purchasing a personal training package.

Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy focuses primarily on restoring muscles to optimal length, strength and balance. Whether the cause of the pain is primarily muscular or a secondary reaction to trauma, muscles will react to protect and guard the affected area. By reducing muscle pain, we allow the body to relax and recuperate.

Body Worker Massage

Body Worker Massages are non-registered massage therapy offered by a Student Massage Therapist who is awaiting their board exam results. You CANNOT submit these visits to extended medical plans or have an active ICBC or WSBC injury.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the insertion of single-use, sterilized needles into acupuncture points throughout the body, which are areas of the skin that have less resistance to electricity. Most acupuncture points are found along meridians or channels that are considered to be the pathway for the flow of energy or Qi (pronounced “chee”).
