You will have to check with your insurance provider to determine if you are covered for physiotherapy.  It is common that they will cover a percentage of your visit, up to a yearly maximum.
 
Although we do not require a doctor's referral for your visit, some insurance companies require a doctor's referral in order to reimburse you for physiotherapy- please check with your provider and bring your insurance card with you to your appointment.

Question 5

What should I wear!?

Accepted Answer

Your modesty and comfort are our top priorities, these are our suggestions, but of course what you wear is your choice.  Please wear comfortable clothing you can move around in.
 
In general, it's best to bring a tank top and shorts that you can change into so we can properly view the area we need to assess and treat. 
 
If you are a woman and we are assessing your neck or back, please wear a tank top and a bra that can be undone at the back, we will keep you covered at the front.  
 
Any other questions, pelase call the clinic.
