Hydrotherapy

What is hydrotherapy?

  • Personalized, one-on-one aquatic exercise with a kinesiologist experienced in the full spectrum of fitness and abilities.
  • Supportive, low-impact exercise designed to improve your strength, balance, and weight bearing capacity.
  • Hydrotherapy is available to private-paying clients and as an ICBC active rehab program. (Please note, we do not provide hydrotherapy for WorkSafe BC claims).
  • We currently offer hydrotherapy at two local community centres: Bonsor Recreation Centre and Delbrook Community Recreation Centre.

Is hydrotherapy right for me?

  • If you are recovering from a serious injury or surgery, have chronic pain, limited mobility or compromised balance, hydrotherapy is an ideal way to ease into your rehab or fitness program.
  • Hydrotherapy is a safe, low-impact form of exercise to improve flexibility, strength, and mobility.

What will my first appointment look like?

  • Your initial appointment will be a 15-30 minute complimentary phone consultation with a kinesiologist. During this consultation you will learn about the program, discuss your symptoms, health history, and exercise experience.
  • Your first in-person session will take place in the clinic, and will include a comprehensive physical assessment. You will leave with a clear understanding of your treatment plan and your next steps.

How will I progress?

  • Your kinesiologist will book your subsequent visits for 30-45 minutes in one of the recreation centres mentioned above.
  • We ask that you arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time to ensure you get your full in-pool time.
  • Your kinesiologist will work within your tolerated pain level and range of motion to design a treatment plan that adapts to you.

The Total Therapy hydrotherapy program is a personalized aquatic exercise program conducted by a practicing kinesiologist. Your therapist will create a treatment plan to help improve function, aid in rehabilitation and get you back to your activities of daily living. This program can be delivered on its own or in conjunction with other treatment modalities. Your therapist will instruct, monitor and progress your exercise program and will ensure you reach the ability to sustain an independent exercise regime. The duration of your program will depend on the severity of your condition, your fitness level and your individual needs.

Hydrotherapy uses the therapeutic properties of water to improve flexibility, strength and mobility. This program is a great fit for those who have limited mobility, inability to weight bear, or have a restricted range of motion.

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Dr. Bernard is one of the kind of chiropractic doctors that are hard to find! I was lucky to rely on his expertise twice in the course of the last 10 months, due to fairly serious athletic (grappling, BJJ) injuries - a meniscus tear and the recent shoulder injury. In both cases, my situation was such that I felt I'd be out of the line-up for at least 3-4 months, no training, slow path to recovery. But Duriell not only accurately diagnosed the injury in the first assessment session (later confirmed by an MRI scan), but immediately proceeded to apply the needed therapy, restoring me to almost 90% mobility in the affected area within the first 3-4 sessions. With my first, meniscus injury I was back to training in 6-7 weeks and my knee still going strong. With the second injury, shoulder tendons, two weeks ago, I was restored to almost 90% of my full capacity, after the first 3 sessions (first week) and will start my slow paced return to BJJ training with full recovery expected. Two weeks ago I couldn't use my right arm at all, suffering from horrendous, debilitating shoulder pain, no sleep for three straight days/night, swelling down the entire arm, pinched nerve shooting pain starting in the shoulder all the way down to the wrist. Two weeks and 5 sessions later, doing push-ups and pull-ups, 20 reps at a time - though cautiously, but still, back to normal. It feels like a miracle, but really it's Dr. Bernard full spectrum expertise at work! Not a bit of exaggeration, just facts. Thank you!!!
