Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear to my appointment?

We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows the physiotherapist to easily assess and treat the affected area. For example, shorts for knee injuries or a tank top for shoulder pain.

Is a doctor's referral required?

No, you do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. However, some extended health insurance plans may require one in order to reimburse you for the cost of treatment.

How long is each session?

Initial assessments typically take 45-60 minutes to thoroughly evaluate your condition. Follow-up treatment sessions are usually 30-45 minutes, depending on your personalized care plan.

I'm not sure which service I need (e.g., Physio vs. Chiro). Can you help?
