Physiotherapy (PT)

Physiotherapists (PTs) serve families with children birth to 19 years of age. PTs help a child learn to control their body for moving around and participating in physical activities. Families choose whether to receive services at their home, at the Family Connection Centre, Park Centre, or an alternative 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 to enhance their child's movement skills.

Our Physiotherapist is required to be a registered member of the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC.

Direct therapy
Consultation regarding ways to reach family’s goals
