    While some techniques may cause temporary discomfort, physiotherapy should not be painful. Our physiotherapist will work with you to ensure your comfort during treatment and will adjust their approach based on your feedback. The goal of physiotherapy is to promote healing and improve function. If you ever feel pain during a session, it's important to communicate this to our physiotherapist so they can make necessary adjustments.
  • What is physiotherapy?
    Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on helping individuals recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and improve their overall physical well-being through exercise, manual therapy, and education.
  • Do I need a referral from a doctor to see a physiotherapist?
    In many cases, you can see a physiotherapist without a referral. This is commonly known as "direct access" and allows individuals to seek treatment without needing a doctor's approval. This can lead to quicker access to care, enabling individuals to start their rehabilitation or treatment sooner. However, some insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for coverage of physiotherapy services. It's essential to check your insurance provider to understand their specific policies. If you are unsure, it is a good idea to contact us directly. We can provide guidance on whether a referral is necessary based on your situation.
