Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. In Ontario, you can book an appointment directly with a physiotherapist. Some insurance plans may have their own requirements, so it's worth checking your coverage if you're unsure.
Is physiotherapy covered by insurance?
Many extended health benefit plans include physiotherapy coverage. Our team can also help you understand your direct billing options.
How many treatments will I need?
Every injury and every person is different. After your assessment, your physiotherapist will recommend a treatment plan based on your condition, goals, and expected recovery timeline.
Should I wait until the pain gets worse?
Not necessarily. Early assessment often helps identify the cause of pain sooner and can make it easier to address movement limitations before they become more significant.
