Hi all:


1- Could you please recommend a massage therapist/physiotherapist/chiropractor in Vancouver preferrably a female.

2- Are the sessions covered by the BC health card.

Thank you for your answers..

I don't know anyone to recommend. However, these are not usually covered by the Medical Services Plan (BC Health Card). If you have extended health coverage through work you usually get 80% back.

Try http://www.bcphysio.org (click on "find a Physio"). This bunch are good: Treloar Physiotherapy.

As noted, extended cover seems to be pretty good at picking up (most of) the tab for any sort of physio (we have two different work plans and both cover this sort of stuff to 80%).

Thank you Iain for the link. It is amazing that these kinds of problems are not covered by the regular BC health card especially that I am dealing with an inflammation of tendons. It is not like I am asking for a relaxing massage or something.

Thanks again,

Yasmina
