Wear comfortable clothing that allows us to access and move the area being treated, and bring any relevant referrals, imaging reports or insurance information with you.
Your first visit includes a full assessment, a discussion of your goals and the start of a treatment plan that is personalized for you.
Yes. We direct bill most major insurance providers so that you only pay the portion that is not covered by your plan.
That depends on your condition and your goals. Your therapist will review a recommended number of sessions with you after the initial assessment.
Initial assessments usually run 45 to 60 minutes, and follow-up treatments are typically 30 to 45 minutes.
Not at all. You can start your treatment even before your test results. Our healthcare professionals will do thorough assessments with you and make their diagnosis to plan your treatment. Upon receiving your test results, bring a copy to your therapist.
Absolutely not. Physiotherapists are primary care providers and can treat patients without a referral, but some extended health insurance plans require a doctor’s referral to reimburse you for your physiotherapy sessions. Check with your extended health provider for coverage.
Ultimately, it is your choice. You know your body best. We will often recommend that you see a physiotherapist first and then go from there. The reason is that a physiotherapy assessment is a little more in-depth than a massage assessment. Your physiotherapist will give you a diagnosis and treatment plan to get back to your life. Your physiotherapist can let your massage therapist know specific muscles or muscle groups that need to be worked on. Together, physiotherapy and massage therapy are very complementary to one another. Great results can come from using both as well as one or the other. Massage therapy can also be incorporated for body and mind relaxation.
