Where we Work
We will be opening our new clinic July 1, 2024 in central Kelowna. We look forward to welcoming families from the Okanagan and around British Columbia to our new location as we make space to expand services provided by our clinic. We will continue to provide services until July at our home clinic, in clients homes, and throughout the community. We are committed to our mission of making therapy accessible to all, and will continue to provide ongoing therapy in the community including aquatic therapy.
Clinic Visits
Clinic visits offer a fun and exciting experience where we are able to incorporate a variety of unique therapeutic interventions including spider cage therapy, trampoline therapy, whole body vibration, vestibular therapy (swings), treadmill gait training and many more...
Home Visits
Kelowna SMILE Therapy for Kids offers the option of home visits for families too!
For some children, and their families, a familiar environment is more regulating. We recognize that clinic visits are not practical for every family, and, as we work to make therapy accessible to all, at home therapy can be a more convenient option. In addition, therapeutic treatment done in the home often results in higher carry-over of home programs.
Aquatic Therapy
We offer Aquatic therapy in various public, and private pools, in the community. Aquatic therapy addresses physical therapy goals in an environment where buoyancy, water resistance, hydrostatic pressure, and the warmth of the water contribute to more favourable outcomes.
Community Visits
Where it is beneficial to the child, family, or team, we offer visits at daycares, private schools, behavioural intervention centres and at community parks or play grounds.
