A BETTER WAY TO MANAGE JOINT PAIN
“Wear and tear” isn't the whole story
Osteoarthritis can cause pain and stiffness, but that doesn't mean you should simply stop using the joint. Strength, mobility, and the amount of load a joint can tolerate all influence how it feels and functions.
Our physiotherapists use exercise, movement strategies, and appropriate hands-on treatment to help reduce symptoms and make everyday activities easier.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR TREATMENT
How physiotherapy can help with osteoarthritis
Physiotherapy for osteoarthritis focuses on improving how the affected joint moves and how well the surrounding muscles support it. Treatment may include strengthening, mobility work, hands-on techniques, and guidance on gradually returning to activities. Rest alone can sometimes increase stiffness and weakness. A structured rehabilitation plan helps you keep moving while adjusting exercise and activity to what your joint can comfortably tolerate.
Targeted Strengthening
Strengthening the muscles around an affected joint can improve support and make everyday movement easier.
Mobility & Flexibility Work
Guided movement, stretching, and hands-on techniques may help maintain or improve range of motion.
Activity Guidance & Education
We help you understand how to stay active, adjust aggravating movements, and build confidence in using the joint again.

FAQs
Common questions about Sports Physiotherapy
Does Cold Laser Therapy hurt?
Not at all. Most patients feel a gentle warmth on the skin — some feel nothing at all. There's no heat damage, no cutting and no needles, so you can go right back to your day afterward.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what we're treating. Some patients notice a difference after the first cold laser session, while stubborn injuries or arthritis often need a handful of visits. Your physiotherapist will map out a realistic plan on day one.
Do I need a doctor's referral to book?
Nope — no referral needed. You can book Cold Laser Therapy in Coquitlam directly with ActiLife online or over the phone, and get in as early as this week.
Is Cold Laser Therapy covered by insurance?
In most cases, yes. Because it's delivered as part of a physiotherapy visit, most extended health plans cover it. We direct bill most major insurers and accept ICBC claims to keep the paperwork off your plate.
