What a session looks like

01

Bring your claim

Give us your ICBC claim number and the date of the accident when you book. We confirm your coverage and bill ICBC directly, so there is nothing to pay up front in most cases.

02

Assessment and treatment

Your therapist checks how the injury is moving and where it is guarding, then treats the neck, back and shoulders that usually take the brunt of a collision.

03

Recovery plan

A plan across several visits, with movement to do at home, so the recovery keeps progressing between appointments rather than stalling.

About ICBC massage therapy in Burnaby

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident in British Columbia, you are entitled to massage therapy as part of your recovery, and you do not need a doctor to refer you first. ICBC covers a set number of visits in the weeks after a crash, which is why starting early matters.

Whiplash, neck stiffness, headaches, and mid-back or low-back guarding are the complaints we see most after a collision. Treatment focuses on easing that protective tension, restoring movement and helping you get back to driving, work and sleep with less pain.

We bill ICBC directly for eligible claims, so in most cases there is nothing to pay at the appointment. Bring your claim number and the accident date to your first visit and we take care of the rest.

Who it is for

Anyone recovering from a car accident in BC, whether the collision was recent or a few weeks back. You can start massage therapy under your claim without a referral.

Some claims involve a small user fee depending on your coverage. We will let you know what applies to yours before your first appointment, so there are no surprises.

Common questions

Do I need a doctor referral for ICBC massage?

No. Under current ICBC rules you can book massage therapy directly after a motor vehicle accident, without a referral, as long as you have an active claim.

Will I have to pay anything?

In most cases we bill ICBC directly and there is nothing to pay at the visit. Some claims carry a small user fee, and we will tell you what applies to yours in advance.

How soon after the accident should I start?

As soon as you can. ICBC covers a set number of visits in the period after a crash, so starting early gives you the most treatment while the injury is fresh.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Your ICBC claim number and the date of the accident. That is enough for us to confirm coverage and bill directly.
