Injury Rehabilitation in Langley, BC
Kinesiologist-Led Injury Rehab to Restore Strength and Mobility
If you are looking for injury rehabilitation in Langley, BC, this is what it looks like at Kenaz. Recovering from surgery, a sports injury, a workplace accident, or living with chronic pain? Injuries do not just affect your body. They change how you move, how you sleep, and how you feel about yourself. Our registered kinesiologists build custom, exercise based rehab programs that restore your strength, mobility, and confidence one on one in a private performance facility, so you get your coach's full attention every session.
What Is Injury Rehabilitation?
Injury rehabilitation is a progressive, exercise-based program that restores function after injury or surgery. Your kinesiologist targets the tissues, movement patterns, and demands your injury has affected, building back strength, mobility, and endurance in a way that respects your healing timeline.
Every exercise is progressed based on your healing timeline, pain levels, and goals — whether that means returning to sport, getting back to work, or living without pain.
- Targeted exercises that address the root cause of your dysfunction
- Progressive loading that respects your healing timeline
- Functional movement restoration for real-life demands
- Pain management through movement-based strategies
- Injury prevention education to reduce re-injury risk
- Coordination with your healthcare team for comprehensive care
Why Some Injuries Don’t Resolve On Their Own
Most injuries that linger do so for a reason: muscle imbalances, reduced stability around key joints, movement compensations from protecting the injury, or returning to activity before the tissues were properly ready. Rest can calm the pain. It usually doesn’t fix the pattern that caused or sustained the injury.
That’s why so many people end up in the same place months later, or worse, with a new problem that developed from compensating around the original one. We find the root cause and build from there.
Who Benefits from Injury Rehabilitation?
Whether you’re fresh out of surgery or still dealing with something that happened years ago, if it’s limiting your life, we can help.
Post-Surgical Patients
Joint replacement, ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, spinal surgery. Surgery gets you to a starting line. Active rehab is what gets you the rest of the way. We build a program around your surgeon’s guidelines and your recovery pace, not a generic post-op template.
Athletes with Sports Injuries
Sprains, strains, tendinopathies, fractures, or overuse injuries. We rehab the injury and address the movement patterns that contributed to it, so you come back stronger and less likely to end up in the same place again.
Workplace Injury Recovery
Back injuries, repetitive strain, lifting injuries. We build your program around the specific physical demands of your job, so recovery isn’t just about feeling better, it’s about being able to do your work without fear of re-injury.
Chronic Pain Sufferers
Persistent pain from old injuries, degenerative conditions, or issues that were never fully resolved. Progressive loading can help break the pain cycle and restore function, often in ways people had given up expecting.
Motor Vehicle Accident Survivors
Whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and other MVA-related conditions. ICBC typically covers active rehab with direct billing. In most cases no upfront cost to you for those covered sessions.
Anyone with Unresolved Injuries
Injuries that were never properly rehabbed, even years old, can still be addressed. A lot of the people who find us have felt like they’ve tried everything and still aren’t right. That’s exactly the kind of situation we work best with. It’s never too late.

Our Approach to Injury Rehabilitation
A clear, step-by-step process, so you recover fully and don’t end up back at square one.
Comprehensive Functional Assessment
We start by understanding your injury — not just where it hurts, but how it’s affecting the way you move. We look at range of motion, strength, pain levels, movement patterns, and the demands of your daily life. This baseline shapes every decision we make.
Custom Rehabilitation Plan
Every exercise has a purpose. We don’t hand you a standard injury protocol, we build around the exact functions your injury has compromised, on a timeline that works for your body and your life.
Progressive Exercise-Based Rehab
Starting with pain-free movement, then gradually increasing load and intensity so tissues rebuild properly without re-injury.
Regular Re-Assessment & Adjustment
We track progress with objective measurements. If something isn’t working, we adapt. If you’re ahead of schedule, we advance. You’re never stuck in a program that’s stopped serving you.
Return to Activity & Prevention
As you recover, we shift your program toward the actual demands of your sport, job, or daily life, and address what contributed to your injury so you’re not back here in six months. You leave with a home program built for long-term maintenance.
What Your First Month Looks Like
Here is exactly what happens from the day you book to the end of your first month.
Week 1: Assessment & Baseline
Your first session is a full movement and functional assessment. We look at range of motion, strength, pain levels, and how your injury is affecting the way you move day to day. We go through your injury history, what you've tried, and what you want to get back to. That picture shapes everything that follows.
Weeks 1–2: Building the Foundation
We start with pain-free movement and controlled loading, teaching your body to move well before we push it to move hard. The goal here is trust: your trust in your body, and your body's readiness to handle progressive work. Most clients notice reduced stiffness and improved confidence within the first two weeks.
Weeks 3–4: Progressive Loading
With the foundation set, we start pushing. Load increases, movements get more functional, and the program starts to feel like real recovery rather than just management. Clients often report a clear shift here: less fear of the injury, more capacity for normal life.
After Month 1: The Road Back
Your program keeps evolving toward the actual demands of your sport, job, or daily life. We reassess regularly, adjust based on objective progress, and shift focus to injury prevention so you don't end up back here. You'll leave with a home program built for long-term maintenance.

Tried Physio and It Didn't Work?
A lot of our clients come to us after doing everything right, following their care plan, doing their exercises, staying patient. And they’re still not where they want to be. That’s not a failure of their care. It’s that rehab often has two stages: the clinical stage, and the strength-rebuilding stage. Most people stop at the first one.
At Kenaz, active rehab with progressive loading is where we live. We don’t just manage symptoms, we systematically rebuild the strength, stability, and movement capacity your body needs to hold the gains long-term. Your kinesiologist coaches you through every rep, adjusts your program as you progress, and keeps you accountable to a plan that works.
That’s how people go from “stiff and scared to get hurt again” to back on the field, back at work, and back to their life.

Injury Rehabilitation Success Stories
Real recoveries. Real people. Here’s what getting your life back looks like.
“I am literally back climbing mountains and feeling great doing so.”
“My pain is gone, my strength has returned, and I have full confidence in my shoulder again.”
I've dealt with back and neck pain for years. Between my sessions with Marc and the exercises he's given me, I have never felt better.
After years of neglecting my shoulder pain, thanks to Marc's care and guidance, my pain is gone, my strength has returned, and I have full confidence in my shoulder again.
Sheldon helped me so much with my rehabilitation after my knee fracture and helping me get back into playing soccer without any residual pains. I can play like I used to.
I suffered debilitating injuries due to a car accident. Marc is perceptive and knowledgeable. He understands the delicate balance of when to push your limits, and when to ease off.
I came to Katy 6 months post spinal surgery. She helped me rebuild my body and confidence. I am literally back climbing mountains and feeling great doing so!
I had bulged L4 and L5 discs. Katy did an incredible job coming up with a personalized program — I'm back to playing golf and hockey without any pain!
Sheldon's expertise in injury rehab combined with a strong focus on strength training has helped me recover safely while building lasting strength.

Injury Rehabilitation — Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most from people navigating injury recovery.
We work with a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries: knee, shoulder, hip, back, ankle, neck, and more. Post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, workplace injuries, motor vehicle accident injuries, and chronic pain from unresolved conditions. If it’s limiting how you move, we can likely help. The free consult is the best place to walk us through your specific situation.
Physiotherapy and kinesiology serve different and complementary roles in recovery. Physiotherapists are regulated health professionals who diagnose and treat injuries, often using manual therapy and clinical assessment. Our kinesiologists specialize in exercise-based strength rebuilding and functional recovery, the active, progressive stage that follows clinical care. Many of our clients work with both a physio and a kinesiologist as part of their overall recovery plan, and we coordinate with their physio throughout.
Not necessarily. A referral is helpful for coordination with your care team and may be required for certain insurance coverage, but you don’t need one to book a consult or start a program. We’ll talk through your situation at the assessment and help you figure out the right path.
Many extended health plans cover kinesiology services, which includes injury rehabilitation. ICBC typically covers active rehab for motor vehicle accident injuries with direct billing. WorkSafeBC typically covers rehab for eligible workplace injuries. Coverage varies by plan and claim, so we recommend checking with your provider, and we’re happy to help you figure out what applies during your free consult.
As soon as your surgeon clears you for active rehab, which for many procedures is sooner than people expect. Early intervention generally leads to better outcomes. We build around your surgeon’s guidelines and your healing stage, starting gently and progressing as your body is ready. If you’re not sure where you are post-surgery, bring us your discharge notes and we’ll go from there.
It depends on the injury, how long it’s been present, your overall health, and your goals. Minor soft tissue injuries might resolve in 6–8 weeks. Post-surgical recovery or chronic conditions can take several months. We’ll give you an honest timeline at your assessment, not a vague “it varies” answer. And we track progress with objective measurements so you can see exactly what’s changing.
Your first session is a full assessment, about 45 to 60 minutes. We’ll go over your injury history, how it happened, what you’ve tried, and how it’s affecting your daily life. Then we do a movement and functional assessment: range of motion, strength, pain levels, movement patterns. From there we build your program. You’ll leave knowing exactly what we’re working on and why.
Yes — and this is more common than people think. Old injuries that were never properly rehabbed can still be addressed. The body is adaptable, and progressive loading can restore function even years after an injury. We’ve worked with clients who’d been limiting their lives around an old injury for a decade. It’s never too late to address it properly.
Yes. We coordinate with your GP, physiotherapist, chiropractor, and any other practitioners involved in your care. We can communicate progress notes, work within your surgeon’s or physio’s guidelines, and keep your whole team aligned. If you’re already under the care of another practitioner, let us know at your consult and we’ll make sure everything works together.
Comfortable clothes you can move in, the same thing you’d wear to a gym. Bring any relevant medical documentation if you have it (surgeon’s discharge notes, imaging reports, referral letters). If you’re coming straight from work or don’t have all your documents together, don’t let that stop you. We’ll work with what you have.
What You Can Expect Working With Us
- No pressure. The free consult is a conversation, not a sales pitch. We'll ask about your injury, your history, and your goals. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
- No cookie-cutter programs. Every program is built after a proper assessment, around your specific injury, your healing stage, and the demands of your actual life.
- Clear explanations, every session. Your kinesiologist will tell you what each exercise is doing, why you're doing it at this stage of recovery, and what to expect as you progress.
- Adjustments when needed. Flare-ups, setbacks, life changes. If something isn't working or your situation changes, we adapt. You're not locked into a plan that stopped fitting.
- We handle ICBC and WorkSafeBC billing directly and provide receipts for extended health plans. We do the paperwork on our side so you can focus on showing up and doing the work.
- Coordination with your care team. We communicate with your surgeon, physio, GP, or specialist. Nothing gets lost between providers.
If your first session isn't what you expected, tell us. We'll adjust the plan, revisit the assessment, or figure out what went wrong. We've been doing this for over a decade and we back our work.
