ICBC Progressive Rehabilitation in Surrey.
Recovery after a motor vehicle accident changes over time. As symptoms improve and your abilities return, your rehabilitation program should evolve with you.
Therapy Now Wellness Clinic provides personalized ICBC kinesiology and active rehabilitation in Surrey designed to progressively rebuild mobility, strength, balance, endurance, coordination and functional movement.
What is progressive rehabilitation?
Progressive rehabilitation is an approach where your exercise and movement program changes as your recovery improves. Rather than repeating the same exercises indefinitely, your program can be reassessed and adjusted to match your current abilities and goals.
Movement
Restore comfortable and usable movement where stiffness or restriction is limiting function.
Strength
Gradually increase physical capacity as your tolerance improves.
Balance
Progress stability and control for standing, walking, stairs and everyday tasks.
Endurance
Increase the amount of activity you can sustain for work, walking and daily life.
Coordination
Improve smooth, controlled movement as task complexity increases.
Function
Progress exercises toward real-life activities such as lifting, carrying, stairs and work.
Recovery does not happen in one stage.
The exercises that are appropriate early in recovery may not provide enough challenge later. Progressive rehabilitation allows your program to change as your mobility, strength, endurance and confidence improve.
Early Recovery
Focus may be on comfortable movement, confidence and restoring basic mobility.
Building Capacity
Exercises can begin to challenge strength, endurance and stability.
Functional Training
Exercises can increasingly resemble work and everyday activities.
Return to Activity
Rehabilitation progresses toward exercise, recreation, work and personal goals.
Progressive rehabilitation begins with understanding your starting point.
Your kinesiologist may assess the abilities that are most relevant to your symptoms and goals before deciding how your rehabilitation should progress.
Movement Assessment
Review mobility, strength, balance and functional movement to identify your current limitations.
Explore Movement Assessment →Strength
Consider your current ability to generate and control force during functional tasks.
Balance
Assess stability and control during standing, walking or stepping when relevant.
Coordination
Consider how smoothly different parts of the body work together during movement.
Functional Movement
Assess walking, squatting, lifting, carrying, reaching and stairs when relevant.
Endurance
Consider how long you can perform important activities before fatigue changes your movement.
Rehabilitation can evolve from basic movement to real-life function.
Restore Comfortable Movement
Begin with mobility and movements that match your current tolerance.
Build Physical Capacity
Introduce and progress strength, endurance, stability and coordination.
Add Functional Movement
Connect exercises to bending, reaching, walking, lifting and carrying.
Increase Real-World Demands
Prepare for work, longer activities and more complex movement tasks.
Return to Activity
Progress toward exercise, recreation, work and the activities that matter most.
Progression can happen in many different ways.
More Resistance
Increase loading when your current exercise no longer provides the right challenge.
More Repetitions
Build muscular endurance by gradually increasing exercise volume.
More Range
Use a larger comfortable movement range as mobility and confidence improve.
More Complexity
Progress from simple movements toward coordinated whole-body tasks.
Greater Balance Demand
Add stepping, single-leg work or other stability challenges when appropriate.
Longer Activity
Increase walking, standing or repeated movement to build endurance.
Functional Loads
Progress toward the weights and objects you need to lift or carry in daily life.
Work & Recreation Tasks
Introduce movements that resemble your occupation, gym routine or recreational activities.
Your recovery should not follow a one-size-fits-all timeline.
People recover at different rates after a motor vehicle accident. Your rehabilitation should progress according to your assessment, response to exercise and functional goals.
Your progression may depend on:
- ✓Your current symptoms
- ✓Your movement assessment
- ✓Your strength and endurance
- ✓Your work and daily activities
- ✓Your recovery progress
- ✓Your personal goals
