CBI Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre and Wellpoint Health are pleased to enter into an agreement to start providing services within each others facilities starting in 2010.

Beginning January 14, 2010, CBI began offering WCB physical therapy treatment, Functional Capacity Evaluation, Post Offer Employment Testing, Physical Demands Analysis, Ergonomic Assessment and Return to Work Coordination at Wellpoint Health’s Calgary S.E. location in Foothills Industrial Park.

Wellpoint Health will also be moving into the CBI Sunridge location in February 2010 to provide OIS physician services, pre-employment medicals, nurse medicals, vaccinations and various other occupational medicine services.

Having physiotherapy services on-site at an OIS clinic and vice versa provides value to an employer through rapid access to required services.  Collaboration between assessment and treatment teams has been shown to improve outcomes, decrease length of disability and significantly reduce costs and time away from work (for health care services).
