How to Prepare for a Kinesiologist After a Car Crash

What to wear, bring, and expect at your first kinesiology / active rehab visit after an ICBC car accident in Metro Vancouver.

Your first session with a kinesiologist after a car crash should feel clear, not intimidating. Here is how to show up ready.

What to wear

Gym clothes you can move in — runners or training shoes, shorts or leggings, and a top that allows shoulder movement. We train inside Club16, so dress like you are going to exercise.

What to bring

  • Your ICBC claim number (if you have one)
  • A list of current symptoms and movements that bother you
  • Any clearance notes from a physician or physio
  • Water bottle

What happens in the first visit

  1. Conversation about the crash, your goals, and daily demands
  2. Movement screen and baseline measures
  3. A starter plan you can begin safely
  4. Next-session booking and paperwork support when needed

You will not be thrown into max-effort lifts on day one. Progressive loading is the point.

How to get more from every session

  • Be honest about pain during and after sessions
  • Do the between-session homework when assigned
  • Tell us about work or sport deadlines early
