Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about physiotherapy.
No, you do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. Physiotherapists are primary care providers, meaning you can book directly. However, some extended health insurance plans may still require a physician's referral for reimbursement, so it's worth checking your specific policy
The number of sessions varies by condition and individual. Acute injuries may resolve in 4–8 sessions, while chronic conditions or post-surgical rehabilitation can take 8–20+ sessions. Your therapist will provide a personalized treatment plan with an estimated timeline after your initial assessment
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. For lower body concerns, shorts or loose pants are ideal. For shoulder or upper back issues, a tank top or loose t-shirt works well. We also have shorts and gowns available if needed
Physiotherapy focuses on restoring movement and function through exercise, manual therapy, and education, while chiropractic care primarily focuses on the spine and nervous system using spinal adjustments.
