To get the most out of your visit, here are a few steps you can take to prepare:
Bring a Detailed Medical History:
Include any previous injuries, surgeries, chronic conditions, or relevant diagnoses. This helps us better understand your baseline and make an appropriate referral.
Make a List of Your Current Symptoms:
Write down the location, intensity, frequency, and duration of your symptoms. Note what aggravates or relieves your pain and how it impacts your daily routine.
Document Medications and Supplements:
Provide a list of any medications you're currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter pain relievers, and natural supplements. This ensures safe and coordinated care.
Wear Comfortable, Movable Clothing:
You may be asked to perform simple movements during your assessment. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and supportive footwear to allow for flexibility and mobility testing.
Bring Test Results or Imaging Reports (If Available):
If you have had any recent X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans, bring copies of the reports. This information can help guide your care and ensure a more informed referral.
Prepare Questions for Your Provider:
Think about any questions or concerns you have regarding your condition or possible treatment options. We're here to help you make informed decisions about your care.
Be Honest About Lifestyle Factors:
Posture, physical activity, work ergonomics, sleep, and stress can all impact musculoskeletal health. Share any habits that might be contributing to your symptoms.
Bring Identification and Insurance Information:
Have your health card or ID and any relevant insurance documentation ready. If your plan requires a physician referral or prior approval for physiotherapy, we can assist with the paperwork.

It's a recommendation from a healthcare provider that directs you to a licensed physiotherapist for specialized evaluation and treatment of pain, injuries, or mobility issues.
In many cases, you can book directly. However, seeing a doctor first helps rule out underlying issues and ensures your physiotherapy is aligned with a full medical plan—plus it may be required by insurance.
Common issues include back and neck pain, joint pain, sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, mobility loss, chronic conditions like arthritis, and workplace strain injuries.
Physiotherapy can involve some discomfort, especially early in recovery, but it should not be painful. Your physiotherapist will work with you to find a safe, effective pace.
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, goals, and how your body responds. Some patients see results in a few visits, while others require longer-term care.
