FAQs
Does extended health plan cover my physiotherapy and massage therapy treatment?
Most health plans cover some physiotherapy and massage therapy treatments.
Check with your provider for more specific details.
I have been in a motor vehicle accident. Should I go to physiotherapy?
If you sustained an injury from a motor vehicle accident, you need to file a claim with your car insurance company.
It is recommended that you visit your doctor to document your injury, however you do not require a referral to begin physiotherapy treatment. The sooner you seek treatment following a motor vehicle accident, the faster your recovery.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Please bring your Insurance information and any other pertinent information such as extended health plan benefit cards.
If you have one, please bring a Doctor’s referral note, as well as any imaging reports (i.e X-ray, CT scan, MRI, or other) and post-operative protocols if you’ve been given them following surgery.
If your injury is to the lower half of your body (low back to feet), please bring shorts with you. If your injury is to the upper half of your body and you are a female, please wear a sports bra or tank top so that we can appropriately assess the area.
If your injury is related to your feet, please bring any custom orthotics and/or footwear that may be contributing to the symptoms.
How long will I be in the clinic for each session?
This depends on the injury and type of treatment you require, but expect to be in the clinic for approximately 30 minutes to an hour.
How many treatments will I need?
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.
How quickly will I be seen for my first appointment?
We will make every effort to book an appointment within 24 hours.
We always welcome walk-ins and our physiotherapists will see you as per request.
Do I need a doctor’s referral to come to physiotherapy?
A doctor’s referral is not required to receive private physiotherapy treatment unless you are being treated under WCB (Worker’s Compensation Board) or unless your extended healthcare provider requires it.
It is best to check with your provider prior to your first visit.
