Physiotherapy (PT) 
Serves families with children birth-19 years of age. PTs help a child learn to control their body for moving around and participating in physical activities.
Families choose to receive services at their home, at the Family Connection Centre, Park Centre, or an alternate location. There is no fee for this service.
PTs work closely with families and collaborate with the multidisciplinary therapy team and community partners. PTs assist in developing skills and approaches that help families enhance their child’s movement skills.
Our Physiotherapist is required to be a registered member of the College of Physiotherapists of BC
