ICBC Massage Therapy Coverage at Well+Able Integrated Health

If you’ve been in a car accident, you might be able to get massage therapy covered by ICBC to help with your recovery. At Well+Able Integrated Health, we make the process easy so you can focus on feeling better. Whether you're looking for Kamloops massage therapy or an RMT in Kamloops, we’ve got you covered. Here’s what you need to know about how ICBC treatment works, including billing, appointments, expectations, costs, and recovery time.

How ICBC Treatment Works

ICBC automatically approves registered massage therapy after a car accident. This means you don’t need a doctor’s note to start treatment. However, at your first visit, we’ll take the time to understand your injuries and create the best treatment plan for you.

Booking an Appointment and Billing

  • ICBC Coverage: ICBC pays for most of your treatment, but there will be a small extra fee you’ll need to cover. You can find more details on our direct billing page.

  • How Often Do You Need Treatment? Most people start with weekly sessions, but we adjust based on how you're feeling and healing.

What Happens During Your Appointments?

Your First Visit:

  • We talk about your accident, pain, and mobility challenges.

  • We go over a personalized treatment plan to help with pain, stiffness, and swelling.

  • You’ll receive hands-on massage therapy to help ease discomfort and improve movement.

  • We give you simple home care tips, like stretches and exercises, to help you recover faster.

Follow-Up Visits:

  • Focus on reducing pain and improving mobility.

  • Adjust treatments based on your progress.

  • Continue with home care exercises to speed up recovery.

How Long Will It Take to Feel Better?

Everyone heals at a different pace, but most people recover in about three months. Here’s what to expect:

  • First 48 Hours: Right after the accident, you might not feel much pain, but soreness, stiffness, and swelling often show up within two days.

  • Weeks 1–4: You may have tight muscles, headaches, and trouble moving. Massage therapy helps ease tension and improve flexibility.

  • Months 1–3: With regular treatment, pain starts to fade, and movement improves. Exercises, massage, and home care all help speed up injury recovery.

  • After 3 Months: Some people still have pain or stiffness. If needed, we adjust your treatment plan to keep you improving. After three months, a new treatment plan will need to be submitted to ICBC and approved for continued coverage.
