About Us
Why Choose Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists are primary healthcare providers, meaning we are trained to recognize/diagnose injury and can be seen without needing a doctor's referral. We can help you get started on your recovery sooner!
How We Can Help You
On your first visit, your therapist will assess your condition and put together a plan for your recovery. Usually you will start on treatment in the same appointment. You will receive a combination of education about your condition, treatment, and recommendations for things you can do at home to help speed your recovery, including exercise.
Direct Billing
We provide Direct Billing to a number of insurance plans, including ICBC, WSBC, DVA, Canada Life, RCMP, Blue Cross, D.A. Townley, Empire Life, ClaimSecure, Sun Life, Chambers of Commerce, Desjardins, Johnson Inc, Manulife Green Shield, Co-Operators, Equitable Life, and more. If you're unsure if your plan allows direct billing, feel free to contact us.
See the Difference
At Qualicum Physiotherapy Clinic, we're committed to your recovery and helping you get better as quickly as possible. If we think you need additional resources we will direct you to someone in another discipline who can help. We will communicate with your physician to ensure if there are any red flags that they don't go unnoticed. We value every member of the healthcare team and are committed to contributing our part to your overall health.
