VITC recognizes that longer-term programming can produce enhanced recovery outcomes, so there is no time limit on the length of stay. When appropriate, residents are encouraged to stay in the program until they are ready for independent living. Residents of the Vancouver Island Therapeutic Community (VITC) are offered holistic and affordable housing. We have partnered with many agencies to deliver a strong program of instruction, health, and safety. Double-occupancy rooms and home-cooked meals create a sense of belonging. We encourage individuality and support residents to be productive members of society.

Vestibular Rehabilitation

Founded in 2019, Lantzville Wellness Centre provides physical therapy and other wellness services to residents of Lantzville, B.C. as well as surrounding areas such as north Nanaimo, Nanoose Bay, and Errington. Our slogan “Bringing Therapy to your Doorstep” signals our utmost desire to serve smaller communities. We work one-on-one with each patient, conduct thorough assessments of their issues, and recommend a customized program of care. Our goal is to get each person back to the normally active lifestyle they enjoy as quickly as possible. We take a manual therapy approach to physical therapy but our services extend beyond that as well. We provide active rehabilitation programs, vestibular therapy (as well as treating specific balance issues and offering fall prevention programs), neurological rehabilitation and concussion management, treatment of workplace injuries and motor vehicle accident injuries, and IMS and shockwave therapy. We also treat patients dealing with chronic pain and fibromyalgia and acute and chronic back and neck pain. We provide each patient with a recommended therapeutic exercise program to do between clinic visits and thus encourage you to be a partner in your own recovery. more info
