FAQ

  • Do I need a referral to see a Physiotherapist or Massage Therapist?
    In most cases you will not be required to have a referral to see our therapists at the clinic. However, some Private insurance providers, OHIP, VA and MVA will require a referral from a doctor and the referral must state the type of service required (Physiotherapy and/or Massage). Contact your private insurance provider if you will require a doctor's referral.
  • What will I expect when I arrive to my first appointment?
    Upon arriving for your first visit, you will be required to fill out a few forms and possibly an outcome measurement. It is important to come 10-15 minutes early to read and fill out these forms. also, be sure to bring comfortable and appropriate clothing for the body part that is to be assessed (T-shirt, tank top, shorts, etc). Once you are in the therapy room, our therapists will conduct a detail assessment, including general information, health info, past medical history, injury history and current injury/condition. The therapist will then perform a hands-on assessment and tests to determine the injury. ***We take careful consideration to ensure you are comforable during your assessment. However, it is common for some people to leave the assessment a little sore afterwards. This is normal because we have placed the injuried limb through tests in order to identify the injury. After the assessment, both the patient and therapist will create a rehabilitation plan to meet your recovery needs and treatment goals. The therapist will then provide you with manual therapy and a home exercise program to help control pain, inflammation, and jump start your road to recovery.
