Mission

BK Physio's model is unique because it revolves around the patient. You will always have direct one-on-one treatment from your Physio.

BK Physio is NOT driven by volume-related productivity metrics. The primary question that a "mill" or "factory" clinic asks of its therapists is "have you met your productivity quotas." That is just wrong.

At BK Physio the most important question asked is "how is my patient progressing?"
