ICBC Active Rehab in Maple Ridge, BC
Kinesiologist-Led Car Accident Recovery for Maple Ridge Clients
The Golden Ears Bridge lands you practically at our door. Kenaz Training in Port Kells is about 7 minutes from the south end of the bridge, so Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows clients can get private, one-on-one ICBC active rehab with a registered kinesiologist without fighting Highway 1 or a crowded clinic floor. Every session is the full appointment with your kinesiologist in an appointment-only studio. We bill ICBC directly, and in most cases, there is no upfront cost to you for approved sessions.
Why Maple Ridge Clients Cross the Golden Ears for Rehab
Nobody drives over a bridge for something they can get at the same quality around the corner. The clients who make the trip from Haney, Hammond, Albion, and Pitt Meadows once or twice a week do it because the session on this side is different: the entire appointment is one-on-one with a registered kinesiologist, in a private studio where yours is the only session happening.
That matters most for the people active rehab is hardest for: the ones still stiff, sore, and nervous about movement months after the accident. Your program here is built from your assessment, not a template, and progressed each week based on how your body actually responds. Less time managing symptoms, more time rebuilding the strength and confidence the accident took.
And the trip is shorter than most people expect. The Golden Ears Bridge feeds straight into Port Kells, no Highway 1, no Port Mann, and we're minutes from the off-ramp with free parking at the door.
- One-on-one with your kinesiologist for the full session, never shared floor time
- About 7 minutes from the south end of the Golden Ears Bridge, no Highway 1 involved
- Free on-site parking at a private, appointment-only facility
- ICBC direct billing and paperwork handled for you, same as any approved provider
Common Injuries We Work With
Accident injuries show up differently in every body, and they don't always make themselves known right away. Here's what we see most often, and what recovery actually looks like.
Whiplash & Neck Pain
The most common car accident injury, and one of the most misunderstood. If your neck is still stiff and painful weeks after the accident, that's not something to wait out. We restore cervical mobility and rebuild the strength to hold your head up without pain or tension.
Lower Back Pain & Spinal Injuries
You felt it immediately or it crept in over days. Either way, a back that won't settle after a collision needs progressive, specific work, not rest and hope. We stabilize the core and reload the spine safely, at a pace your body can actually handle.
Shoulder, Knee & Hip Injuries
Bracing for impact puts enormous strain on your joints, sometimes more than the impact itself. Progressive loading rebuilds the strength and stability you need to move without guarding or compensating.
Concussion-Related Deconditioning
Post-concussion fatigue is real, and it doesn't mean you should stay still. We manage a careful, gradual return to activity using protocols specifically designed for post-concussion recovery so you rebuild confidence and capacity without setbacks.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Sprains, strains, and tears need structure to heal properly. Without it, the body compensates and you end up with new problems on top of the original injury. Progressive exercise restores tissue integrity and teaches your body to move the way it's supposed to again.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Surgery gets you to a starting point. Active rehab is what builds from there, restoring range of motion, rebuilding strength, and getting you back to daily life with confidence rather than fear.
Chronic Pain from Unresolved Injuries
If you're still hurting months after the accident and you've been told to wait it out. This is exactly where we come in. Movement-based recovery can help break the chronic pain cycle in ways rest alone usually doesn't. You don't have to keep living like this.
Your ICBC Active Rehab Journey: 5 Simple Steps
We make the process as simple as possible so you can focus on one thing: getting better.
Step 1: Check Your Eligibility
A GP or walk-in clinic referral is recommended but not required to begin ICBC active rehab. ICBC typically pre-approves 12 sessions in the first 12 weeks after your accident date. No referral needed to access them. If you're not sure where you stand with your claim, call us first. We'll help you figure out what you need and get you started as quickly as possible.
Step 2: Contact Us
Call us at 778-800-7015 or fill out our online form. Give us your ICBC claim number and we handle everything from there: paperwork, direct billing, reporting. You don't need to worry about the administrative side. That's our job.
Step 3: Initial Assessment
Your kinesiologist conducts a thorough movement and functional assessment, evaluating your range of motion, strength, pain levels, and how your injuries are affecting your daily life. This isn't a formality. It's how we make sure your program is built around what your body actually needs, not a generic accident recovery template.
Step 4: Your Recovery Plan
Based on your assessment, we build a personalized program: progressive exercises, mobility work, and strength rebuilding tailored specifically to your injuries and your goals. Every session builds on the last. Nothing random, nothing generic.
Step 5: Progressive Recovery
Guided sessions with regular reassessment ensure your program evolves as you improve. We don't just discharge you when your sessions run out. We make sure you leave with the knowledge, strength, and confidence to stay pain-free long-term.
ICBC Direct Billing: No Upfront Cost to You
Worried about the cost? Here's the short version: ICBC typically pre-approves 12 active rehab sessions in the first 12 weeks after your accident date. We bill them directly. In most cases there is no upfront cost to you for those covered sessions.

Book Your FREE ConsultWhat Sets Our Kinesiology Team Apart
Active rehab can look very different from place to place. Here's what our clients and referring practitioners tell us makes the difference here.
University-Educated Kinesiologists
Our kinesiologists hold university degrees in human movement, trained in anatomy, biomechanics, injury rehab, and exercise science. That's the foundation every program is built on.
Specialists in Injury Recovery
This isn't a side offering. Injury rehab and functional recovery is what we do. Every program targets your specific injuries and your specific recovery goals. Nothing generic, nothing rushed.
ICBC Claims Experience
We know the ICBC process: the paperwork, the progress reports, the extension requests. We handle all of it so your only job is showing up and doing the work.
Private, One-on-One Sessions
No crowded clinic floors. Every session is one-on-one with your kinesiologist in a private, focused environment, so you can move, ask questions, and work through your recovery without an audience.
Coordinated Care with Your Whole Team
We work alongside your GP, physiotherapist, chiropractor, massage therapist, and any other practitioners involved in your recovery. Your care team stays aligned. Nothing falls through the cracks.
What to Expect in Your First Month of ICBC Rehab
Your first month sets the foundation for everything that follows. Here's what the first four weeks typically look like, so you know what you're walking into, not just what you're hoping for.
- Week 1 (assessment and baseline): Your kinesiologist conducts a full movement assessment. We identify what's restricted, what's compensating, and what your body can handle right now. Your program is built from this, not from a template.
- Week 2 (building the foundation): Gentle, targeted work to begin restoring mobility and reactivating the muscles that shut down after your accident. Nothing aggressive. The goal is controlled movement, not pushing through pain.
- Week 3 (progressive loading): As your body adapts, intensity increases. We add resistance, complexity, and functional movement patterns that reflect what you actually need to do in daily life.
- Week 4 (reassessment and plan): We revisit your baseline measurements, document your progress for ICBC, and map out the next phase of your recovery. You leave knowing exactly where you are and where you're headed.
What Our Clients Say
Some of our longest-running rehab clients make a real drive to get here. In their words, here's why.

★★★★★“Following a significant accident, I found myself struggling with various injuries that seemed insurmountable. However, from the moment I stepped into her office, I knew I was in capable hands.

★★★★★“I was in a car accident last December where my car was totalled and I was injured. … I started my rehab exercises with Kim at Kenaz in early summer and already, it has helped me so much. I am beginning to feel stronger again, and feel so inspired and motivated by Kim to keep on pushing forward.”
★★★★★“I've been going to see Marc at Kenaz for almost 2 years now and it has changed my life. I've dealt with back and neck pain for years and between my sessions with Marc and advice and exercises he's given me, I have never felt better.”

ICBC Active Rehab & Kinesiology: Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most from people navigating recovery after a car accident.
Shorter than most people guess. The Golden Ears Bridge feeds straight into Port Kells, and we're at Unit 109, 9295 198 St, about 7 minutes from the south end of the bridge. From Hammond or west Maple Ridge plan around 15 minutes; from Haney or Albion, closer to 20. No Highway 1, no Port Mann.
Yes. ICBC coverage is not tied to where you live or where the accident happened. You can use any approved active rehab provider in BC. We bill ICBC directly and coordinate with your adjuster the same way a Maple Ridge clinic would.
That depends on what you're getting closer to home. Most high-volume clinics run shared treatment floors where your provider covers several clients at once. Here, the entire appointment is one-on-one with a registered kinesiologist in a private, appointment-only studio. Clients from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows who've tried both formats tell us that difference is exactly why they make the trip.
Yes. ICBC typically pre-approves 12 active rehab sessions in the first 12 weeks after your accident date, and we bill ICBC directly; in most cases there is no upfront cost to you for those covered sessions. We handle the progress reports and extension requests if you need more than the initial 12.
All the time. Pitt Meadows is often the quickest trip of all: straight over the Golden Ears and you're here in roughly 10 minutes. Many of our clients from Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge book their sessions around the bridge commute they're already making.
Free parking on site, right outside the door. Because the studio is appointment-only, there's no waiting room queue. Your kinesiologist is ready when you arrive.
After ICBC: Stay Strong, Not Just “Done With Rehab”
Many clients continue into strength, performance, or wellness training after their ICBC claim ends, so they stay strong, not just “done with rehab.” Your kinesiologist already knows your history, your body, and your goals. The transition is seamless, and you keep building on the progress you have made.
