Physiotherapy for Vancouver General Hospital.
Motion Theory is directly across from Vancouver General Hospital at 1367 West Broadway. Post-surgical patients, healthcare workers, and active adults in the VGH corridor get a structured rehab plan in the same medical district where their care started.
Built for the post-surgical pathway
Many of our patients come to us right after an appointment at VGH or one of the Fairview specialist clinics. We coordinate directly with surgical teams when needed, align our rehab phases to your surgeon's protocol, and pick up where the hospital pathway ends so the recovery does not stall on the way home.
Convenient for VCH staff and healthcare workers
If you work at VGH, the Diamond Centre, or any of the satellite Vancouver Coastal Health buildings on West Broadway, you can be in and out of an appointment over a lunch break or before a shift. We accept VCH benefits and direct bill most extended health plans.
