Virtual Physiotherapy in BC: What It Actually Does

What Is Virtual Physiotherapy?

Virtual physiotherapy is real physiotherapy — delivered online. Capria’s physiotherapists conduct thorough assessments via video, guide you through treatment and exercise in real time, and design a rehabilitation program tailored to your specific injuries and goals.

It’s the same clinical rigour as an in-person appointment, without the commute. And for patients managing a motor vehicle accident recovery on top of everything else in their lives, that matters.

If you’ve been in a car accident, ICBC covers virtual physiotherapy as part of your Enhanced Accident Benefits — and Capria direct-bills ICBC on your behalf.

Virtual Physiotherapy for Motor Vehicle Accident Recovery in BC

What Virtual Physiotherapy Can Help With

Capria’s physiotherapists work with a wide range of injuries and conditions — including but not limited to ICBC claims:

  • Motor vehicle accident injuries (whiplash, concussion, nerve pain, soft tissue damage)
  • Shoulder, knee, and hip dysfunction
  • Lower back and neck pain
  • Post-surgical rehabilitation
  • Orthopedic injuries and chronic pain
  • Balance and vestibular issues
  • Headaches and jaw pain
  • Return-to-work and return-to-sport rehab
  • Prenatal and postpartum care
  • Pelvic floor dysfunction

And if you’re pregnant or postpartum, virtual physiotherapy is a natural fit — you get the assessment and treatment your body needs without having to go anywhere.

Your Virtual Physiotherapy Care Team in BC

Why Choose Capria for Virtual Physiotherapy?

Good physiotherapy shouldn’t require a lengthy commute. If you’re in a smaller community or a rural part of BC, virtual care opens up your options wherever you happen to live.

You’ve done the intake, you know your injuries, you have a plan. Not every follow-up needs to happen in a treatment room. Virtual check-ins keep your recovery moving and you won’t need to reorganize your life around travel to your weekly appointments. 

Early post-surgical recovery is exactly when you need physiotherapy and exactly when getting somewhere is the hardest.

 

Virtual sessions mean your rehab starts on time, from wherever you’re healing.

Early morning, late afternoon, somewhere in between, building your day around buses and trains schedules make it hard to book appointment times that assume you have a car.

 

Virtual sessions are flexible in a way that accounts for your life and is respectful of your time

When chronic pain is part of your daily reality, the barrier to getting care is real.

Virtual physiotherapy means your worst days don’t have to be the ones you miss the thing that helps you feel better.

You graduated from weekly in-person sessions but your recovery isn’t finished yet.

Virtual appointments keep the momentum going with someone checking your progress, adjusting your program, reminding you how far you’ve actually come, and making sure you get from 90 to 100 percent.

ICBC Virtual Physiotherapy Coverage in BC

Your ICBC Virtual Physiotherapy Coverage: Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’ve been in a car accident and have an active ICBC claim:

Immediate ICBC Coverage and Care Coordination

  • No referral required. You can book directly—just have your claim number ready.

  • 12 sessions covered. ICBC covers physiotherapy — including virtual sessions — as part of your Enhanced Accident Benefits.

  • No out-of-pocket costs for approved treatments.

  • We direct-bill ICBC. You book, we handle the billing — you focus on getting better.

  • We handle the paperwork — and we prepare you when ICBC wants to handle it with you directly. When an adjuster wants to deal with you personally, you won’t walk in empty-handed. We’ll prep you on exactly what to say, what ICBC needs to see, and how to present your functional limitations clearly — so nothing can be used against your case.

  • Extensions are possible — and we’ll fight for them. If you’re putting in the work and your body needs more time, we will advocate hard for additional sessions. ICBC extension requests aren’t guaranteed, but a patient who’s engaged in their recovery and has the documentation to show it gives us everything we need to make the case.

Not sure if you have a claim number yet? Book anyway and we’ll help you figure it out.
