Active rehabilitation, or active rehab, is exercise-based rehab led by a registered physiotherapist. Instead of lying on a treatment table for most of the session, you spend it rebuilding strength, mobility and confidence with loaded exercise, progressed as your results improve.

Who it is for. People recovering from an injury or surgery, people with ongoing back, hip, knee or shoulder pain that keeps coming back, and people who want a structured, supervised program to get back to the gym, sport or physical work.

Your first visit. Your first appointment is a 45 or 60-minute one-to-one assessment. Your physiotherapist reviews your history, screens your movement and runs objective testing. From there, sessions are active: loaded exercise on the gym floor, with hands-on treatment where it helps.

Follow-up sessions. Most of each session is spent moving: your physiotherapist coaches your exercises, adjusts the load and checks your form, so you leave knowing exactly what to do until the next visit. Follow-ups are one-on-one for the whole session: 45 minutes is $145 and 60 minutes is $190, and your physiotherapist will talk through how often to come in rather than sell you a fixed package.

Fees. A 45-minute initial assessment is $145 and a 60-minute initial assessment is $190. Forza direct bills most major extended health plans in BC, and you do not need a doctor's referral to book.

When we refer you on. If your assessment points to something that needs a doctor, imaging or a specialist first, your physiotherapist will tell you and help you arrange it. Physiotherapy at Forza works alongside your family doctor and surgeon, not instead of them.
