| WHAT IS PHYSIOTHERAPY? Physiotherapy at our facility involves assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries through biomechanical analysis and objective testing. Based on your clinical presentation, the physiotherapist will implement a plan for the treatment of your injury.
HOW DO I START PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT? You do not need a referral to start physiotherapy treatment. Just call our office number and book an appointment. You will likely need to see your physician for a referral slip for physiotherapy so that you can reclaim your costs through your benefits plan.
WHAT DOES PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT INCLUDE? The frequency and content of physiotherapy treatment sessions will vary depending on your initial assessment. Most commonly patients will start treatment at a frequency of two times per week, with the goal directed towards independence and return ot pre-injury function.
