Frequently Asked Questions

In most cases, you can access physiotherapy directly without a doctor's referral (direct access). However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage. We recommend checking with your insurance provider. For certain conditions like post-surgical rehabilitation, a referral from your surgeon is typically needed. We can help guide you through the referral process if needed.

The number of sessions depends on your condition, severity, and goals. Typically: Acute injuries may need 4-8 sessions, Chronic conditions may need 8-12 sessions or more, Post-operative rehabilitation often requires 12-24 sessions over several months. Your physiotherapist will provide an estimated treatment plan during your initial assessment. Most patients attend 1-3 times per week initially.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows movement and access to the area being treated. For lower body issues: shorts or loose pants. For upper body issues: tank top or t-shirt. For back issues: clothing that allows examination of your back. Comfortable shoes are also recommended as you may be doing exercises. We have private changing areas available if needed.
