A physiotherapist helps diagnose and treat pain, injury, and movement problems using handson therapy, exercise, education, and advice. We are the experts at diagnosing musculoskeletal problems. Treatment focuses on reducing pain, restoring function, and preventing future issues. We can treat muscle, joint and nerve pain.

A referral may be required only for certain insurance, workers’ compensation, or Medicare programs.

Physiotherapists commonly treat back and neck pain, joint and muscle injuries, sports injuries, post surgical rehabilitation, arthritis, work related injuries, and chronic pain. Many clinics also help with balance issues, headaches, and post unrelated problems.

Your first appointment includes a detailed conversation about your problem, medical history, and goals, followed by a physical assessment. The physiotherapist will then explain the diagnosis and start a tailored treatment plan. Depending on the complexity treatment will only be provided in the 60minute session.

We recommend the 60min initial assessments to allow time for a thorough history and examination AND treatment. Followup sessions are typically shorter at 30min and focus on progressing your treatment and exercises.

The number of sessions depends on your condition, how long you have had it, and your goals. Your physiotherapist will discuss an estimated treatment plan and review it regularly as you progress.

Wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. For example, shorts for hip, knee, or ankle problems and a singlet for shoulder or neck issues. We do not provide such clothing.

Bring any relevant scans or reports, referral letters, and a list of medications. If you have health insurance or claim forms, bring those as well but we recommend forwarding everything over prior.
