ICBC Movement Assessment in Surrey.
After a motor vehicle accident, you may know that something feels different without being able to explain exactly what has changed. Turning, bending, walking, reaching, lifting or balancing may feel harder than before.
Therapy Now Wellness Clinic provides ICBC movement assessment and active rehabilitation in Surrey to identify mobility, strength, balance and functional limitations and guide a personalized rehabilitation plan.
Understand how your movement has changed since the accident.
A movement assessment looks at how you move during activities that are relevant to your symptoms, work, daily life and recovery goals.
Range of Motion
Assess movements that feel limited, stiff or uncomfortable after the collision.
Strength
Identify areas where strength or physical capacity may have changed.
Balance
Evaluate standing balance, single-leg control or stability when these relate to your symptoms.
Walking
Observe walking when pain, stiffness, confidence or lower-body function has changed.
Functional Movement
Assess activities such as bending, squatting, reaching, lifting or carrying.
Activity Tolerance
Consider how long or how often you can perform important activities comfortably.
Pain does not always tell the whole story.
Two people can report pain in the same area while experiencing completely different movement limitations. Assessment helps identify what is actually interfering with your everyday function.
Sitting
One person may struggle most with prolonged sitting or desk work.
Lifting
Another person may mainly notice difficulty lifting or carrying.
Walking
Someone else may experience reduced walking tolerance or confidence.
Return to Exercise
Another person may move well in daily life but struggle to return to sport or the gym.
What areas can movement assessment include?
Neck Movement
Turning your head, looking up and down and movements needed for driving.
Shoulder Movement
Reaching overhead, reaching behind the body, lifting and carrying.
Back Movement
Bending, twisting, standing and changing positions.
Hip & Knee Movement
Walking, squatting, stairs, standing and lower-body control.
Balance & Coordination
Standing control, single-leg balance and confidence during movement.
Strength & Function
Upper-body, lower-body and trunk strength related to your daily activities.
Movement is more than range of motion.
A person may have enough flexibility but still struggle with control, strength, balance, endurance, repeated movement or confidence during functional activities.
Functional movement can depend on:
- ✓Joint mobility
- ✓Strength
- ✓Balance
- ✓Coordination
- ✓Endurance
- ✓Movement confidence
Turn assessment findings into a personalized plan.
If Mobility Is Limited
Your program may include mobility exercises and gradual exposure to restricted movements.
If Strength Is Reduced
Progressive strengthening may be used to rebuild physical capacity.
If Balance Is Affected
Balance and stability exercises may be included.
If Endurance Is Reduced
Walking, conditioning or repeated movement may be gradually progressed.

Your assessment may consider your ability to:
- ✓Turn while driving
- ✓Sit or stand for work
- ✓Reach overhead
- ✓Lift and carry
- ✓Walk and use stairs
- ✓Return to exercise or sport
