If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.
Every year, countless workers are injured on the job, from sudden accidents to repetitive stress injuries that build up over time.

Dealing with a work injury will be stressful, but getting treatment and WCB support shouldn’t be. Here’s how your recovery journey looks at West Henday Physical Therapy, from the moment you reach out to your return to work. Every plan is built around your unique injury and what your work requires from you.
You don’t need a doctor’s referral to start. Once your injury is reported to WCB, contact us directly—we aim to book your initial assessment within a few business days.
At your first appointment, we’ll assess your physical condition and talk through your job duties. We document everything in a functional report and send it directly to your WCB case manager to get your treatment approved.
Your treatment plan will include hands-on therapy, exercises, and job-specific goals—whether you need to lift, stand, drive, or sit for long hours. We explain everything clearly and help you understand what’s covered through WCB.
We provide regular reports to your case manager, doctor, and, if needed, your employer. If you’re transitioning back to work, we support a gradual plan that protects your recovery.
Once you’re ready to return to work safely—or have made as much progress—we’ll either discharge you or help coordinate long-term care based on WCB direction.
Let’s get you back to work feeling confident and strong.
Call us or book online today to start your WCB-covered recovery.
