Vancouver ICBC Car Accidents
So, you’ve been involved in a motor vehicle accident. Regardless of who’s at fault, it’s a horrible situation for everyone involved. It happens to even the best drivers, bikers, cyclists, and pedestrians.
It can be a very stressful time. Depending on the severity of the accident, you may be expecting to have some difficulty doing what you normally do every day. You may need some time off work and sport. Early recovery interventions and rehabilitation are key to returning to your normal activities. The good news is that most people will recover well, and our Vancouver physiotherapists at Lift Clinic can help to get you back to doing what you love, sooner.

Our multidisciplinary team of physiotherapists, chiropractor, registered massage therapist will collaborate together to come up with the ideal treatment plan for your situation. We aim to get you back doing what you love as soon as possible.
The Role of Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists can do a head to toe assessment to determine the location, type and severity of the injuries sustained after the accident. They also take objective measurements so we can keep track of how your recovery is going. With the information from the assessment, they then provide a detailed report with the diagnosis to ICBC, and to the other members of the recovery team.
If you’re suffering from whiplash, concussion, sprains, strains, and/or fractures, our physiotherapists are trained to treat each condition. The treatment plan would include an approximate timeline of your recovery, treatment of factors contributing to your symptoms, and progressive self-management and pain management strategies. During each session with a physiotherapist, they can provide education, advice, and treatment through a combination of hands on manual therapy and exercises to help you reduce your pain, swelling, inflammation, and to get you feeling stronger and moving better sooner.
