Sports physiotherapy in North Vancouver, done differently.
Medstar Sport Physio & Health offers sports physiotherapy in North Vancouver from a clinic at 1325 Marine Drive. Founded in 2018 and staffed by registered physiotherapists holding doctoral and master's degrees, the clinic specialises in hands-on, one-on-one rehabilitation for sport injuries, motor vehicle accidents, and workplace injuries. Direct billing is available for ICBC, WorkSafeBC, and most major extended health plans including Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife, and Great-West Life.
The clinic is the first on the North Shore to offer High-Power Laser Therapy (Class IV photobiomodulation) and the only clinic in North Vancouver offering TECAR Therapy — a radiofrequency modality used for deep tissue heating and accelerated repair. Alongside these advanced technologies, the team delivers physiotherapy, IMS dry needling, manual osteopathy, registered massage therapy, kinesiology, shockwave therapy, acupuncture, custom orthotics, and clinical counselling under one roof.
Appointments are available Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM, and Saturday 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Free parking is available on-site. ICBC clients are pre-approved for 12 weeks of treatment under BC's Enhanced Care model — no referral required.
