Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
Nope! Physiotherapist’s are primary care providers, which means you can see us directly without a doctor’s referral. Some insurance plans may still require one, so it is a good idea to call your provider to confirm their requirements.
Do I need Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy can benefit people of all ages who are experiencing pain, injury, or difficulty with movement and daily activities.
The goal of physiotherapy is to help you restore function, improve strength and mobility and support you in the return to the activities that matter the most to you.
Because every person is different, physiotherapy is never a one-size-fits-all approach. Treatment is tailored to your specific condition, goals, and lifestyle.
Anyone experiencing challenges with daily activities, recovery from injury, or reduced physical function may benefit from physiotherapy.

Can I be assessed virtually?

Should I bring in x-rays, referrals or my surgeon’s protocols?
Yes please! We can sometimes look up certain imaging, it is best for you to bring in any paperwork that has been provided that might relate to your injury.
