Q: Do I need a doctor's referral to come to
physiotherapy?
A: Physiotherapists are
primary care providers which means you do not need a doctor's referral. Some
private insurance companies do require a medical referral. It is best to check
with your insurance provider prior to your first visit.
Q: How quickly will I be seen for my first
appointment?
A: We will make every effort to book an appointment
within 24 hours.
Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: Every condition is individually evaluated, based
on the person and severity of their condition and patient activity expectations.
Your physiotherapist will advise you of an appropriate treatment plan after your
initial assessment.
Q: How long will I be in the clinic for each
session?
A: This depends on the injury and type of treatment
you require, but you can expect to be in the clinic for approximately 45 minutes
to one hour.
Q: Does extended health cover my physiotherapy
treatment?
A: Although everyone's health and group plans are
different, most plans will cover a percentage of the fees. Talk to your
health plan provider for more specific details.
