ICBC Active Rehab | Vancouver Kinesiologist

Recover Safely. Move Confidently. Get Back to Life After a Car Accident.

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Whether you’re dealing with whiplash, back pain, shoulder stiffness, or general fatigue, the effects of a collision can last far beyond the initial trauma. You might feel uncertain about how to move, anxious about reinjury, or frustrated that you’re not “back to normal” yet.

At UP Athletics & Rehab, we provide ICBC-covered active rehab in Vancouver, led by a registered kinesiologist experienced in motor vehicle injury recovery. Our one-on-one sessions focus on restoring your strength, mobility, and confidence so you can return to work, movement, and daily life — safely and sustainably.

Why ICBC Active Rehab Matters

After a car accident, soft tissue injuries (like whiplash, muscle strains, and joint dysfunction) are common — but often underestimated. These injuries can lead to compensation patterns, poor posture, chronic pain, and long-term movement limitations if not properly addressed.

While hands-on treatments (like massage or physiotherapy) are helpful early on — especially for managing pain, reducing inflammation, and restoring basic mobility — they’re just the first step. Once those initial improvements are made, many people are left unsure how to progress.

That’s where active rehab with a kinesiologist comes in. We focus on rebuilding functional strength, improving movement quality, and restoring confidence — so you can return to work, activity, and daily life with less risk of reinjury.

How We Help

We create customized active rehab plans based on your injuries, pain levels, goals, and stage of recovery. All sessions are one-on-one in a private gym setting and may include:

  • Functional strength and mobility training
  • Postural correction and movement retraining
  • Balance, coordination, and core control
  • Return-to-work or return-to-activity conditioning
  • Pain management strategies and body awareness education

Each session is paced to meet you where you’re at — whether you’re just starting to move again or transitioning back into regular activities.

Designed for ICBC Clients in Kitsilano & Vancouver

Living in a busy city like Vancouver, car accidents can happen to anyone — even just blocks from home. Kitsilano residents often walk, cycle, or drive daily, and after a collision, they need focused, personalized care that goes beyond generic stretches or exercises.

At UP Athletics & Rehab, we offer ICBC-active rehab in a quiet, supportive environment. Our approach is hands-on, educational, and always centered around helping you feel stronger — not just “treated.”
