FAQ

Physiotherapy is a primary health care profession that promotes wellness, mobility and independent function. Physiotherapists have advanced understanding of how the body moves, what keeps it from moving well and how to restore mobility.
A licensed physiotherapist is an expert on analyzing how the body moves and functions. Your therapist will ask you to describe your condition, as well as your history. He will diagnose your condition and develop a treatment plan to reduce pain and improve your mobility. Your therapist will also advise you on how to manage your condition independently and prevent recurrences or complications.
No referral is necessary to participate in physiotherapy treatment. However, patients are advised to check details of their extended health benefits, as some plans require a physician’s referral in order to get treatment costs reimbursed.
