Workplace Injury Physiotherapy

Healthx is part of the WorkSafeBC preferred provider network of physiotherapists who assist injured workers with their symptom relief and injury recovery from workplace accidents.

Injuries at work are very common and can stem from slips and falls, stepping awkwardly, tripping hazards, heavy and repetitive lifting, accidents, etc. These incidents result in ankle and knee sprains, shoulder strains, back pain, tendonitis, carpal tunnel, concussion, fractures, and other muscle and joint pain.

Our highly trained physiotherapists have been working with WorkSafeBC patients for many years and can help you recover from these injuries and to return to normal work function in a safe and timely manner. With Healthx Physiotherapy, the point of difference for WorkSafeBC patients is that we actively treat injuries with manual therapy and advanced treatment techniques such as IMS or Shockwave Therapy rather than just relying on passive modalities and heat. Graded prescribed rehabilitation exercise is crucial to enhancing recovery and accelerating soft tissue healing.  Our clinical team has many years of experience treating work injuries and helping our patients recover in a safe and integrated environment. Your Physiotherapist will make sure that you are ready for any light or modified work and will always get your approval before starting any scheduled return to work plan.
