What is physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a treatment method that focuses on the science of movement and helps people to restore, maintain and maximize their physical functions such as strength, range of movement and over well-being by addressing the root cause of the physical issues.

When should I go see a physiotherapist?

Think of getting physiotherapy services if you have traumatic or repetitive injury, chronic or acute pain that affects how you function everyday. Your doctor may also refer you to physiotherapy after surgery such as hip, knee or shoulder replacement. The physiotherapist will help you reduce your pain with manual therapy techniques and use of physical agents, help you strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight soft tissues with guided home exercise program.

Do I need a referral from my doctor to see a physiotherapist?

No, you do not typically need a referral to see a physiotherapist. In many cases, you can directly book an appointment with a physiotherapy clinic. However, some insurance providers may require a referral for coverage, so it’s advisable to check with your insurer. 

Does my health insurance covers physiotherapy and naturotherapy? 

Usually yes, but remember to visit your insurance company’s website to make sure that physiotherapy or naturotherapy is/are covered under your plan.

What can I expect during the physiotherapy?

Each client is unique, because it is all about you and your particular needs.

                  • The physiotherapist learns about your medical history
                  • The physiotherapist evaluates and diagnoses your condition
                  • You receive a treatment plan that is consistent of your goals
                  • You are given a home exercise program
