ICBC Physiotherapy Services


Have you been in a car accident? Back in Motion Health has physiotherapy services to support you in your recovery journey.

About ICBC Physiotherapy Services


Motor vehicle accidents are more common than you think; Between 2013 and 2022, an average of 82,800 people per year sustained injuries from an average of 289,500 yearly ICBC-reported crashes. Whether minor or major, motor vehicle accidents can cause injuries that affect the daily lives of motorists all over British Columbia.

When rehabilitating an injury from a motor vehicle accident, a physiotherapist can be a great help to reduce pain and prevent further injuries. Back in Motion Health provides ICBC physiotherapy services to aid you in your motor vehicle accident injury recovery. We welcome patients from across the Lower Mainland at our locations in Vancouver, Richmond, Coquitlam, Surrey-Newton, Abbotsford and North Vancouver.

Why Seek Physiotherapy After a Car Accident?


Accidents are stressful, and there is no denying that adrenaline often plays a part in keeping you upright and alert following impact. While injuries from car accidents are not always severe in appearance, they can severely impact the victim’s life over time.

If you have been in an accident, a physiotherapist can be helpful in assisting you in your recovery from the following:

  • Whiplash
  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Shoulder/elbow/wrist pain
  • Hip/knee/ankle pain
  • Fractures, sprains, and strains
  • Pre and post-surgery rehabilitation
  • Concussions

A skilled physiotherapist can help with many aspects of your recovery and rehabilitation journey.

Recovery Support

Physiotherapists can help find the root cause of pains and aches, stiffness, and newfound limitations in motion and design a physiotherapy program to help get you back to your day-to-day activities.

Pain Reduction

ICBC physiotherapy is not a magic cure for all injuries and it requires work, but certain exercises, stretches, and therapies can help alleviate your pain and reduce it over time, making your daily life more manageable. 

Surgery Prevention

While some surgeries post-accident may be inevitable depending on the severity of your injuries, a well-tailored physiotherapy regimen can help heal tears and strains that would have required surgery before a physiotherapist’s intervention.

Function Restoration

It’s normal to lose some ability when injured. Muscle stiffness, pains, strains, and pains can impair your body’s normal functions, and delaying treatment only makes those issues worse. With the help of ICBC physiotherapy, you may be able to return to your pre-accident range of motion and see little-to-no after-effects from the motor vehicle accident in which you were involved.

Long-term Damage Prevention

Rehabilitating injuries is a time-sensitive issue. An improperly handled injury can lead to poor healing and complications down the line. With a physiotherapist’s assistance in your recovery, you increase your chances of healing well and avoid complications associated with delayed healing.

Frequently Asked Questions About ICBC-Covered Physiotherapy


How Do I Get Approved for ICBC Physiotherapy?

You must file a claim with ICBC. Where fault lies in the accident does not matter; if you were injured in a motor vehicle accident, you qualify, even if you were a cyclist or pedestrian.

When Can I Start My Physiotherapy Treatment?

Once you have filed your claim with ICBC, you can start any treatment under ICBC’s pre-approved treatment list. You then have 3 months to start and complete your treatment plan. The quicker you seek out a physiotherapist, the bigger the benefits as you will be able to complete more visits and address any issues as soon as possible. 

How Many Physiotherapy Sessions Are Covered?

25 sessions of a minimum of 20 minutes are covered. 

How Much Does It Cost?

Because Back in Motion offers direct billing to ICBC, you will incur no out-of-pocket cost when seeking physiotherapy under your pre-approved treatment costs. If you seek longer appointments than those covered by ICBC, you will need to pay the difference, but Back in Motion can provide you with receipts to submit to your private insurance provider.

What Do I Need to Start My Treatment?

When booking an appointment, you will need your personal health number (PNH) and your ICBC claim number.
