Absolute PhysioCare & Sports Rehabilitation

What Absolute PhysioCare & Sports Rehabilitation does

Absolute PhysioCare & Sports Rehabilitation is a privately held, multidisciplinary physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic founded in 2011 and headquartered in a single facility at #230-3433 North Road, Burnaby, British Columbia. The clinic operates a multidisciplinary care model spanning physiotherapy, registered massage therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture and dry needling (IMS), kinesiology, and registered clinical counselling, with sub-specializations in sports injury rehabilitation, women's health and pre/post-natal care, vestibular rehabilitation, post-surgical rehabilitation, and custom orthotics. Its clinical equipment base includes computer-controlled spinal decompression therapy, low-level laser therapy, GaitScan foot analysis, and a dedicated gymnasium, supplemented by MedBridge GO for digital home exercise prescriptions.

The business operates on a fee-for-service professional services model with publicly disclosed unit pricing: initial physiotherapy assessments at $105 (30 min) to $210 (60 min), follow-up visits at $62–$140 depending on modality and duration, running assessments at $180, and clinical counselling at $157.50 per 50-minute session. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, driven by SEO-optimized blog content, Google Reviews (5.0 stars across 183 reviews), Facebook/Instagram/Twitter presence, YouTube webinars, and word-of-mouth referrals; patient acquisition is funneled through a JaneApp online booking system. The clinic reduces payment friction via direct billing to most extended health insurance providers, ICBC, and WorkSafeBC — and waives fees entirely for valid ICBC chiropractic and physiotherapy claimants.

The clinic has approximately 12 clinical staff (9 physiotherapists, 3 RMTs, 2 chiropractors, 1 acupuncturist, 2 kinesiologists) and serves patients primarily from across Greater Vancouver (Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Moody, New Westminster, downtown Vancouver). Service delivery is augmented by a HIPAA/PIPEDA/GDPR-compliant telerehabilitation offering via Doxy.me, which extends reach across British Columbia beyond the physical catchment. No external funding, parent company, or ownership structure beyond independent operation is disclosed.
