WCB / Work Injury

Approved WCB physiotherapy for work-related injuries.

Therapist treating a work-related injury for a WCB claim patient

WCB physio without the friction

We're set up to bill the Workers' Compensation Board of Alberta directly. Once your claim is approved, you sign in, get treated, and leave — no out-of-pocket cost. We handle the assessment forms, treatment plans, and any return-to-work documentation WCB requires.

Early treatment improves return-to-work outcomes for both you and your employer. We prioritise WCB intake — usually within 48 hours of your call.

When this helps

  • Acute work injuries

    Strains, sprains, and overuse injuries from the job — assessed and treatment-planned in the first visit.

  • Return-to-work planning

    Graded duty restrictions, work-conditioning, and clear timelines coordinated with your employer's RTW team.

  • Chronic work conditions

    Repetitive-strain conditions, MSK injuries that have outlasted the acute phase.

  • Heavy-industry cases

    Construction, agriculture, oil-and-gas — the case mix in central Alberta is well-represented in our patient base.

  • Post-surgical RTW

    Workplace-related surgery recovery with clear return-to-work milestones.

What to expect at your first visit

Bring your claim number to the first visit. The assessment is 60 minutes; treatment starts the same visit. Reports are submitted directly to WCB on the cadence they require. If your claim is denied, we can support your appeal with clinical documentation.

Common questions

Do you accept WCB patients?

Yes. We're set up to bill the Workers' Compensation Board of Alberta directly — no out-of-pocket cost to you for approved claims. Bring your claim number to your first visit.

How does WCB billing work?

Once your claim is approved by WCB, we bill them directly for each visit. You sign in, get treated, leave. We handle the assessment reports, treatment plans, and any return-to-work documentation WCB requires.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

Not for the first visit — physiotherapists in Alberta are primary providers. WCB may request a physician's involvement for certain treatments or for return-to-work decisions; we'll coordinate that with you and your doctor.

What if WCB denies my claim?

Denials are appealable. Your therapist can support the appeal with clinical documentation. In the meantime, you can continue treatment under extended health benefits or self-pay; if the appeal succeeds, WCB typically backdates coverage.

How quickly can I get a WCB physio appointment?

Usually within 48 hours. We prioritize WCB intake because early treatment improves return-to-work outcomes — both for you and your employer.
