Welcome back! It’s a new year and we hope you all had a relaxing holiday break. We would like to officially announce that the UBC Physical Therapy and Research Clinic is accepting new patients and walk-in appointments.
Operated as a student-led clinical model, appointments will continue to be run by students who are currently enrolled in the physical therapy program and are under the supervision of fully trained licensed physiotherapists.
We now have 4 fully licensed physiotherapists who will work alongside our rotating Masters of Physical Therapy Students and Preceptors. The need for Physical Therapy services for clients living, working and studying on UBC Campus and the surrounding area has increased and we have increased our staffing to help support the needs of the community.
Services
Our clinic serves not only the UBC community but also the broader Vancouver community as well. The Physical Therapy & Research Clinic offers a diverse range of services to provide our clients with the best treatment possible for their specific conditions. Below is the current list of physical therapy services that we offer:
Manual Therapy
A “hands-on” treatment including joint movements, mobilizations, manipulations, soft tissue work, trigger point release and more.
Sports Physiotherapy
Specially designed to help athletes return to sporting pastimes and passions. Treatment plans are specifically around strength and mobility which can be beneficial in preventing potential injuries in the future.
Pre & Post-Surgery
Though physical therapy is crucial for gaining mobility back after surgery, it can also be beneficial to prepare before to decrease recovery time.
Concussion Rehabilitation
This treatment is for those who experience prolonged concussion symptoms. Physiotherapy for concussion can include education on symptom management, re-introduction to physical activity, and more.
Cancer Rehabilitation
Functional changes can be caused by surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Managing side effects can benefit not only significantly improving quality of life but also long-term survival.
Exercise Therapy
Physical functionality is part of everyday life. Treatment consists of exercises that are best to help optimize strength, mobility balance and movement patterns.
FAME for NEUROFITNESS
Adapted from UBC’s own Dr. Janice Eng’s Fitness and Mobility Exercise program, the treatments target people living with movement disorders such as stroke Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis.
GLA: D Canada (group sessions)
This is a 7-week educational and exercise program for individuals who are experiencing Osteoarthritis whose symptoms can include stiff or painful knees and or hips. GLA:D is developed by healthcare professionals using a real-world evidence-based approach.
Neurological Rehabilitation
These assessments are ongoing for individuals who have movement and functional challenges caused by changes or injuries in the nervous system.
PhysiApp
Physiotherapy in the palm of your hand. Have your personalized regime sent to your mobile app so you can have easy access whenever wherever. Best of all, it’s in video format to ensure you are doing each exercise properly.
