Physical Reconditioning Program in Cranbrook, BC

Exercise Therapy

Getting back to work — or back to life — after an injury or illness takes more than time. It takes a plan.

At Kootenay Therapy Center, our Physical Reconditioning Program is designed to help you regain strength, stamina, and functional ability so you can return to daily life or work with greater confidence and capacity. This program is tailored to your unique needs, whether you’re preparing for a gradual return to job duties or rebuilding your physical health after a setback.

What Is the Physical Reconditioning Program?

Our program supports patients who are recovering from injury, illness, or long-term absence from regular activity. It’s structured, progressive, and customized based on your personal goals, your job demands, or your lifestyle needs.

The program includes:

A comprehensive physical and functional assessment
Goal-setting and return-to-function planning
Supervised exercise therapy
Education on pacing, ergonomics, and injury prevention
Collaboration between physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and kinesiologists

Your program is designed not only to restore physical conditioning but to build confidence in your ability to return to the demands of work, home, and life.

Healing That Respects Your Whole Self

We understand that no two people are the same and no injury, illness, or challenge shows up in exactly the same way. That’s why we approach each treatment with curiosity, collaboration, and care.

Your goals guide us.

Your experience matters.

And your whole-body health — physical, mental, and emotional — is always at the center of what we do.

Who It’s For

This program may be appropriate if you:

Are returning to work after an extended absence due to injury or illness
Need to meet specific physical demands for your job or lifestyle
Have been discharged from acute rehab but need continued support
Want to rebuild functional capacity before resuming full activity

We also support clients navigating complex return-to-work plans or working with insurers and case managers.

What to Expect

You’ll start with a thorough assessment from a physiotherapist and/or occupational therapist. From there, we’ll develop a customized treatment plan with clear goals and a step-by-step progression.

Sessions may include one-on-one exercise therapy, education, pacing strategies, and functional task simulation — all delivered in a supportive, respectful environment.
