About us

Same-day availability, without another booking layer in the middle

Instatherapy helps patients across British Columbia find healthcare practitioners with real openings today and tomorrow, then book directly with the clinic. No account, no waiting on hold, no commission.

What we are

A search and availability layer, not a medical provider

Instatherapy is a directory, not a medical provider. Always consult a qualified practitioner. We surface which clinics have real same-day and next-day openings for physiotherapy, massage, chiropractic, dental, vision, naturopathic care and more, so patients can stop calling around to find who is actually free right now.

We are also not a booking middleman. When you find an opening that works for you, you book it directly with the clinic, by phone or through the clinic's own booking page. Instatherapy never sits between you and the appointment, never collects a commission on it, and is not a party to whatever is arranged between you and the practitioner.

Why we exist

Open slots and available patients rarely find each other

Clinics lose revenue every time a cancellation leaves a slot empty with no one to fill it. At the same time, patients who need care soon, not an emergency room, and not a booking three weeks out, have no reliable way to see who has room today. General directories list every clinic in a city but say nothing about who is actually open right now.

Instatherapy exists to close that gap: a single place where practitioners can flag real availability the moment it opens up, and patients can filter for exactly that, including clinics that take ICBC or WorkSafeBC claims directly or offer mobile visits.

Who runs it

An independent team based in Vancouver, BC

Instatherapy is built and operated by a small, independent team in Vancouver. We are not owned by a clinic chain or an insurer, and we do not favour one clinic's listing over another's. Clinics pay a flat fee to be listed. Patients never pay to search or browse.

Always on. Remembers your cookie choice, and counts anonymous actions like a clinic being viewed or a booking link clicked, so clinics can see how often they're found. These counts use no personal data and can't be turned off.
