edgemont village, north vancouver, british columbia, canada
Village Physiotherapy has been helping the Edgemont community remain healthy and active since 1991. We strive to create a friendly and supportive atmosphere in which our patients can receive high quality treatment from our well-qualified staff. Our physiotherapists enjoy the benefit of a pooled experience of over 100 years of practice, and often work in collaboration to offer a more efficient rehabilitation plan for their patients. Our on-site kinesiologist rounds out our team with personalized treatment plans for the unique recovery needs of individual patients. There is no referral necessary for private physiotherapy, and often, serious injuries can be avoided or minimized if patients receive treatment before their problems become aggravated. New patients are always welcome! e-mail: info@villagephysio.ca101-3151 Woodbine Drive
