What Happened to Treloar Physiotherapy?


For those of you who don't know, Treloar Physiotherapy is one of the larger, well respected clinics in Vancouver. Where is Treloar Physiotherapy? They are at 686 Broadway, the same building as the (now infamous) Taco Del Mar. The recent bomb blast at this business has affected the overall condition of the building so for the time being, Treloar physiotherapists are not able to function out of their current location. Instead, many neighboring physiotherapy clinics have arranged for some of Treloar's physios work within their offices.

Both the clinics I practice out of (West 4th & Envision) have made such arrangements with Treloar, even though we have been extremely busy. One patient asked me, "Isn't that weird? Aren't they your competition?". I never thought of it like that because what many people don't realize is that we are a fairly close knit group. All physios with similar expertise, take the same courses, atted the same conferences, or work at the same sporting events. It is very unlikely that any like therapists would let their colleagues suffer at mercy of some uncontrollable events. It's nice to be part of a profession that is not only concerned with helping our clients, but to helping our professional community as well.
