YOUR FIRST
PHYSIOTHERAPY VISIT

Common Questions:

​

Do I Need A Doctor's Note To Begin Physiotherapy?

No. You do not need a doctor’s referral to receive physiotherapy, however, if you are submitting your therapy through your private insurance company, you may want to check to see if they require a doctor’s referral before they will provide extended coverage. Each plan is different. If you have any questions, please contact us.

You MAY require a referral for physiotherapy related to an ICBC claim.  Please inquire with your ICBC adjuster.

​

How Long Will My Appointment Take?

It depends on what time slot you booked for. We generally book 30 min to 1-hour time slots with longer appointments for first visit and new complaints. 

If you are a new patient, please fill out the intake forms before arriving. If you do not fill them in advance, please arrive 15 minute before your scheduled appointment time.

​

What Do I Need To Bring To My Appointment?

Please bring the following to your appointment:

• Tank top - if you are being treated for any shoulder, neck or arm problems.

• Shorts - if you are being treated for any back, hip, knee, ankle or foot problems. 

• Shoes - bring the shoes you use to participate in your sports or recreational activities. For example, if you are being treated for a running injury please bring your runners.

• Orthotics - similar to shoes, bring any orthotics you use on a regular basis.
