Therapy Now uses the term ICBC Injury Rehabilitation to describe kinesiology and active rehabilitation focused on injuries, movement limitations, weakness, reduced confidence, or functional problems following a motor vehicle accident.

What is ICBC Injury Rehabilitation?
Active recovery focused on how your body moves and functions.
ICBC Injury Rehabilitation is a personalized kinesiology program designed to support recovery after a motor vehicle accident. Rather than relying only on passive care, active rehabilitation helps you gradually rebuild movement, strength, coordination, endurance, and confidence.
Your kinesiologist considers how the accident has affected your daily activities, work demands, mobility, exercise tolerance, and overall function. Your program is then adjusted as your abilities and goals change.
Your rehabilitation plan may focus on:
- ✓Restoring comfortable movement
- ✓Rebuilding strength after reduced activity
- ✓Improving balance and stability
- ✓Increasing tolerance for work and daily tasks
- ✓Developing safe self-management strategies
What can rehabilitation help with?
Support for accident-related injuries and functional limitations.
Kinesiology may be used when pain, weakness, stiffness, reduced mobility, balance concerns, or fear of movement are limiting your recovery after a collision.
Neck & Shoulder Limitations
Improve mobility, movement tolerance, strength, and confidence with everyday upper-body tasks.
Back & Hip Injuries
Build trunk, hip, and lower-body strength while improving movement and functional capacity.
Reduced Mobility
Improve range of motion and confidence with walking, bending, reaching, lifting, and daily movement.
Muscle Weakness
Rebuild strength that may have declined because of pain, rest, or reduced activity after an accident.
Balance & Stability
Improve control, coordination, and confidence during walking, stairs, transfers, and daily tasks.
Reduced Endurance
Gradually increase tolerance for work, household activities, walking, and recreation.

What does active rehabilitation involve?
Exercise selected for your stage of recovery.
Every program is different. Your kinesiologist chooses and progresses activities based on your presentation, comfort, function, and goals.
Mobility
Movement activities designed to improve comfortable range of motion and reduce stiffness.
Strength
Progressive exercises to rebuild muscle capacity and support everyday movement.
Core Control
Exercises that support trunk control, coordination, posture, and whole-body movement.

Activities that develop stability, coordination, and confidence during functional tasks.

Why active rehabilitation matters
Build confidence through guided, gradual movement.
Following an accident, pain or uncertainty may cause people to move less or avoid activities. A gradual rehabilitation plan can help you understand what you can do, rebuild capacity, and progress toward meaningful activities.
Rehabilitation is not about pushing through symptoms. It is about selecting an appropriate starting point and adjusting the program according to your response and progress.
