Oakridge Physiotherapy Centre

No referral is required for regular physiotherapy, though some extended health plans may need one to activate payment. For ICBC, WSBC, and DVA claims the requirements differ, so check with your insurer or the clinic before booking.

Your physiotherapist does an initial assessment to give a working diagnosis, then works with you to set goals and build a treatment plan. Treatment centers on manual, hands-on therapy plus education, exercise, and electrotherapy as needed.

Physiotherapy visits are 30 minutes, though your total clinic time can run 30 to 60 minutes. Longer visits are booked as 60-minute appointments.

Parking is available in the Oakridge Baptist Church lot next door, using only the south side stalls. Street parking on Cambie is available before 3pm and after 6pm, with paid parking at the St. John Ambulance building on Cambie and 45th.

The clinic works with patients through WorkSafe BC and ICBC claims for injuries such as whiplash and back pain. A new ICBC claim does not need a doctor's referral for the initial visit unless your adjuster says otherwise.

The clinic offers direct billing, which it says makes the payment process smooth and easy. Confirm your plan's details with the front desk when you book.
