What is a Physiotherapist?
Physiotherapists are university trained and are experts in injury diagnosis, injury treatment, exercise prescription, injury prevention, rehabilitation and many other areas of sport and health and fitness.
What do I need to bring?
Be prepared to provide your previous medical or surgical history. If you have them and if they are relevant bring scan/MRI reports, and a list of medication. You may wish to bring shorts and/or a t-shirt.
How many visits will I need?
The number of treatments will vary depending on the problem and individual. After a thorough assessment, the physiotherapist will discuss their treatment plan for the rehabilitation process.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Exposing the area of concern is usually necessary during treatment. For leg injuries, we recommend bringing shorts. For neck/shoulder injuries, a sleeveless vest or strap-less top is suggested.
How do I make an appointment?
You can get in touch by phone (905 - 727 -3029) or use the quick and easy online booking page.
Do I have to be referred by a doctor?
No, physiotherapists can assess and treat without referral by a doctor. However certain health insurers require a doctors referral before they authorize cover of fees, some only require a phone call. We suggest you contact your insurer if you are uncertain.
Treatment duration depends on your diagnosis, the severity of your impairments, your past medical history, and other factors. Re-evaluations will be done to assess your progress and your therapist may communicate with your healthcare practitioner/coach to help you achieve your therapy goals.
