The active rehab program is designed to recover physical function after an injury. This can be a direct referral from ICBC, WSBC, lawyers or therapists. The ultimate goal of Active Rehab is to get you back to full movement function in the shortest time possible. For ICBC you are pre-approved and do not need a referral.

She has good knowledges and friendly.
Melinda was great! She was super nice, friendly, knowledgeable. Regrettably my memory isn’t the best from around that time. But I do remember really liking her. I liked how accommodating she was, when the pool was to loud,it hurt my head, so we scheduled another time during seniors hour when it was a lot quieter, it was so helpful. And I remember questioning a couple reasons for certain exercises, and she explained how you would use these movements for day to day things! She was great at explaining things. I feel she was really helpful with getting my body moving again. She was great!
When I was first introduced to Katie, I was skeptical with working out again. I tried many attempts before and felt nauseous due to my concussion. I experienced muscle loss from not working out. I gained weight and felt insecure and hopeless about getting back into shape. Katie was patient and continued to work with me weekly on my fitness goals. She listened to my needs and focused on areas that I needed to build muscle strength and endurance. I started to feel confident again. I would recommend Katie to my friends. She was a kind person and showed compassion whenever I experienced setbacks. I am grateful to have her as my kinesiologist.
Katie is very friendly and easy to get along with. She has helped me tremendously with my injury. She has made me feel strong again, and provided me with therapeutic recovery methods. I enjoy our active rehab sessions and am very grateful for her help.
Friendly, personable, knowledgeable, punctual
Katie is really a great therapist, devoted to her work, and is helping me lots to get back to my normal life. We are having online sessions now, I’m following her instructions, and I’m pleased with improvements. I know it is a slow process, and I’m looking forward to continuing working on my recovery.
Katie is driven. She always has a smile on her face and is ready to work! She is a delight to be around and her skills and techniques are next to none. I find every session with Katie 100% useful.
really nice and positive and personable, helped me learn proper stretches and exercises for my injuries
I have been doing active rehab under Melinda Calayo’s supervision for a little over a year now to help me regain strength and improve mobility in my leg after two surgeries to repair a tibial plateau fracture. Melinda has been very professional in her interactions with me and is also very knowledgeable about my condition. She is a very pleasant lady and is also always on time for all our appointments. She is very patient with me and listens very carefully to me when I tell her about times when my body does not respond to the treatment as is expected. She is able to change the routine in order to help me overcome the setbacks in my healing process. She is an empathetic person who does everything with the view of seeing me get better. As a result I am encouraged to do all the exercises she gives me so that I can get better. I am happy to report that I have seen a lot of improvement in my condition. I still struggle with pain and stiffness in my body but I know that no matter what happens to me, Melinda has done her best to get me to my desired goals. I would gladly recommend her services to anyone who might need help in the future.
Thanks,
Judith.
