ICBC Active Rehab in Surrey, BC
Kinesiologist-Led Car Accident Recovery for Surrey Clients
Surrey has plenty of rehab options, but Kenaz gives you something different: a private, appointment-only studio where your ICBC active rehab is one-on-one with a registered kinesiologist from start to finish. We're in Port Kells just east of 196 St, a few minutes from Highway 1 and Fraser Highway. We bill approved sessions directly to ICBC — eligibility and coverage depend on your claim.
Why Surrey Clients Cross Into Langley for Active Rehab
Our Port Kells studio gives you dedicated one-on-one time with a registered kinesiologist in a private, appointment-only setting. Your program is built around your injuries, your pain pattern, and your job and life demands, then adjusted every week as your recovery develops. We welcome clients from Fleetwood, Cloverdale, Clayton, Guildford, and surrounding Surrey communities.
When driving is not realistic on a particular day, some ICBC sessions may be completed by video from home when appropriate. We will explain what applies to your claim and recovery plan during your free consult.
We explain the ICBC process clearly, handle approved direct billing, and keep your recovery plan focused on your goals. You may be eligible for an initial block of pre-approved active rehab sessions — we'll explain what applies to your claim during your free consult.
- One-on-one with your kinesiologist for the full session, every session
- Just east of the Surrey border in Port Kells, often faster than crossing central Surrey
- 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
Whiplash is common after a car accident, and symptoms can continue after the initial soreness fades. Weeks of ongoing stiffness or pain when you turn your head isn't something to push through on your own. We work on restoring your range of motion and rebuilding the strength around your neck and upper back so it holds up through a normal day again.
Lower Back Pain & Spinal Injuries
Sometimes it's obvious the moment it happens. Other times it builds over the days after. A back that hasn't settled since the collision needs a structured, progressive plan, not just time off. Your kinesiologist works on core stability first, then reloads the spine gradually, matched to what your body can handle that week.
Shoulder, Knee & Hip Injuries
The instinctive brace before impact puts real strain through the joints, and it can end up costing you more than the collision itself. We rebuild strength and stability through those joints progressively, so you stop guarding or compensating for something that should have healed.
Concussion-Related Deconditioning
Post-concussion fatigue is real, and staying completely still usually isn't the answer. We manage a gradual, monitored return to activity using protocols built for post-concussion recovery, so you can progress carefully while we track how your body responds.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Sprains, strains, and tears need a real structure to heal well. Left alone, the body finds ways to compensate, and those compensations tend to become their own problem. A progressive exercise program helps rebuild strength and restore the movement patterns you rely on every day.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Surgery marks the beginning of the rebuilding process. Active rehab can help restore range of motion, strength, and confidence as you return to daily life.
Chronic Pain from Unresolved Injuries
If it's been months since the accident and you've been told to just wait it out, this is exactly the situation active rehab is built for. Movement-based recovery can interrupt a chronic pain cycle in ways rest alone usually can't. You don't have to keep living around it.
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: Confirm Where You Stand
A referral from your GP or a walk-in clinic helps but isn't required to start. ICBC typically pre-approves 12 sessions in the first 12 weeks after your accident date, and you don't need a referral to access them. If you're not sure what your claim covers, call us and we'll help you figure it out before you commit to anything.
Step 2: Get In Touch
Call 778-800-7015 or fill out our online form. Share a few details about your pain, limitations, and goals so we can understand what is going on and book a call to talk through your next steps. We will explain the ICBC process, direct billing, and paperwork during the call.
Step 3: Your First Assessment
Your kinesiologist runs a real movement and functional assessment: range of motion, strength, pain levels, and how the injury is actually affecting your day-to-day. This is where your program comes from, not a generic accident-recovery checklist.
Step 4: A Plan Built Around You
From that assessment, we build your specific program: progressive exercise, mobility work, and strength rebuilding tied to your injuries and your goals. Each session builds on the one before it.
Step 5: Ongoing Progress
Your program keeps evolving as your recovery does, with regular reassessment along the way. We don't hand you off the moment your session count runs out. The goal is that you leave knowing how to keep this progress going on your own.
ICBC Direct Billing — How It Works
Cost shouldn't be the thing deciding whether you get proper rehab. We can submit approved active rehab sessions directly to ICBC. Eligibility and coverage depend on your claim, so we'll explain what applies during your free consult.
- Up to 12 sessions typically pre-approved in the first 12 weeks, no referral needed to start
- Direct billing to ICBC for approved sessions — eligibility and coverage depend on your claim
- All paperwork, progress reports, and extension requests handled on our end
- If your recovery needs more than the initial 12 sessions, we coordinate that directly with your adjuster
- Extended health benefits accepted for non-ICBC clients

Active rehab builds on your clinical care, progressively rebuilding your strength and function, not just managing symptoms.

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
Every program is built on university training in anatomy, biomechanics, injury rehab, and exercise science.
Specialists in Injury Recovery
Injury rehab and functional recovery is the core of what we do, not something bolted onto a general fitness offering. Your program targets your specific injuries and your specific goals.
ICBC Claims Experience
The paperwork, progress reports, and extension requests are handled by our team, so you can focus on showing up and doing the work.
Private, One-on-One Sessions
Every session is one-on-one with your kinesiologist, in a private, appointment-only studio, so you can move, ask questions, and actually work through your recovery.
Coordinated Care with Your Whole Team
Your GP, physiotherapist, chiropractor, massage therapist, whoever else is involved: we stay aligned with your whole care team so nothing gets lost between appointments.
What to Expect in Your First Month of ICBC Rehab
The first month sets up everything after it. Here's roughly how the first four weeks tend to go, so you're walking in with a real picture, not just a hope.
- Week 1, finding your baseline: A full movement assessment to identify what's restricted, what's compensating, and what your body can actually handle right now. Everything after this is built from what we find here.
- Week 2, laying the groundwork: Targeted, low-intensity work to start restoring mobility and waking up the muscles that shut down after the accident. The priority is controlled movement, not pushing through pain.
- Week 3, adding load: As your body adapts, we add resistance and complexity, moving toward the functional patterns you actually need for daily life, not generic gym exercises.
- Week 4, reassessment: We compare against your original baseline, document progress for ICBC, and map the next phase together, so you know exactly where you stand.
