What Re:Function Health Group Inc does

Re:Function Health Group Inc is a privately held Canadian rehabilitation and medical-legal assessment firm headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia. Founded in 2000 by occupational therapist Ralph Cheesman, the company operates eight clinic locations across British Columbia spanning the Lower Mainland (Richmond, Surrey, Vancouver, Coquitlam, Abbotsford), Vancouver Island (Victoria, Nanaimo), and the Okanagan (Kelowna), supported by a team of approximately 53 clinicians and administrative staff. It is a member company of the Kii Health group of companies.

The firm's core offering is built around three service pillars: Re:View (medical-legal Functional Capacity Evaluations, Cost of Future Care Assessments, and file reviews), Re:Tool (return-to-work support, ergonomic assessments, job demands analyses), and Re:Build (physiotherapy, active rehab programs, interdisciplinary rehabilitation, community rehabilitation), with Re:Think adding counselling and psychology services. Proprietary assessment methodology is anchored in Matheson-certified Functional Capacity Evaluations, EPIC Lift Capacity Evaluation, and a specialized Cognitive FCE protocol, supplemented by Brain Injury Assessment, Psychiatric IME, and Work Simulation services. Several senior clinicians are accepted as expert witnesses in the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the Workers' Compensation Appeals Tribunal.

Re:Function generates revenue through fee-for-service professional services billed per assessment or per session, alongside contract revenue from WorkSafeBC, Veterans Affairs Canada, employers, and insurance companies. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; direct billing to third-party insurance providers is available for physiotherapy. Go-to-market combines a B2B referral-driven model (lawyers, case managers, insurers, WorkSafeBC, employers) with direct-to-consumer self-referral for physiotherapy, kinesiology, and counselling, the latter accessible through online booking on the JaneApp platform. Cumulative throughput includes 8,029 FCEs completed and 6,941 clients served over 20 years, with over 6,000 workers assisted back to work after impairment.

Direct peers

• Lifemark Health Group: One of Canada's largest physiotherapy and rehabilitation networks, providing multidisciplinary rehabilitation, FCEs, and return-to-work services across multiple provinces. Highly comparable to Re:Function in service mix, target payers, and medical-legal assessment offerings.
• CBI Health Group: National Canadian rehabilitation and healthcare services provider with extensive clinic network offering physiotherapy, occupational therapy, kinesiology, and disability management. Directly comparable in service breadth, payer mix, and rehabilitation assessment offering.
• Back in Motion Rehabilitation: BC-based rehabilitation provider offering physiotherapy, occupational therapy, active rehab, and return-to-work programs; named in Re:Function team biographies as a previous employer. Closely comparable in services, geography, and target employer/payer base.
• MJM Rehabilitation Consultants: Canadian rehabilitation consultancy specializing in Functional Capacity Evaluations, Cost of Future Care assessments, and medical-legal expert testimony. Directly comparable niche to Re:Function's Re:View med-legal service pillar.

Broad incumbents

• Centric Health: Diversified Canadian healthcare services company operating physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinics alongside other healthcare service lines. Comparable rehabilitation services, but at greater scale and across a broader portfolio.
• PT Health (now part of Lifemark): Former independent Canadian physiotherapy network (now integrated into Lifemark) offering multi-clinic outpatient rehabilitation services. Comparable in delivery model and patient mix though broader and less specialized in med-legal work.

Others

• WorkSafeBC Service Providers (Provider Network): Network of contracted rehabilitation providers delivering return-to-work and assessment services funded by WorkSafeBC. Re:Function directly competes for these contracts; relevant for benchmarking service lines and payer economics.
• Sun Life / Manulife Disability Management Providers: Group disability insurers that procure Functional Capacity Evaluations and rehabilitation services on behalf of claimants. Adjacent payer-side counterparties that shape demand for Re:Function's med-legal and rehabilitation assessment services.

Regional players

• Resolve Counselling: BC-based counselling and psychology services provider serving individual and employer/insurer clients. Comparable in psychology/counselling pillar and BC geography, though narrower in scope (no physiotherapy or med-legal assessment).
