Downtown Vancouver Active Rehab
Electra Health is downtown Vancouver’s oldest multidisciplinary clinic. With over 40 practitioners across different disciplines, we have been offering registered massage therapy, physiotherapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, osteopathy, kinesiology, counselling and naturopathy to the community for the past 25 years. Our mission has always been to provide our clients with the most effective healthcare treatments.
At Electra Health, our practitioners are highly experienced in treating injuries related to motor-vehicle accidents. We know just how much of an impact and disruption car accident injuries and symptoms can have to your life. That is why we provide our clients with active rehab.
Active rehab is a form of exercise-based rehabilitation and is administered to you by a kinesiologist. Active rehab not only promotes recovery through exercise, but also prevents injuries from reoccurring by teaching you how to exercise and move safely.
What makes active rehab unique at Electra Health is that it is part of our PAARCC program – a program designed for clients who have been in a car accident. Your active rehab will be part of a larger, personalized recovery program, covered entirely by ICBC, that will get you back to feeling your best!

What to expect
At your first appointment, you will meet with one of our kinesiologists. Kinesiologists are university-educated experts in human anatomy and biomechanics, as well as exercise physiology. Your kinesiologist will perform a thorough assessment to identify your issues, injuries and concerns, while also taking into account your overall health history.
From there, your kinesiologist will develop a comprehensive rehabilitation program for you. This program is not only about your recovery, but also about educating you on how to exercise and move safely. Your appointment will involve one-on-one sessions with the kinesiologist in our clinic gym.
Your kinesiologist will also be the Rehabilitation Team leader of your personalized ICBC PAARCC program, which consists of physiotherapy, active rehab, acupuncture, registered massage therapy, chiropractic care and counselling. Alongside other therapists, your kinesiologist will design, implement and support you through a rehabilitation program, so that you can focus on getting better.
