Q1. What should I expect during my first session?
Your therapist will assess your movement, strength, and pain levels to create a personalized recovery plan tailored to your goals.
Q2. Do I need a doctor’s referral?
In Ontario, you can see a physiotherapist directly. However, some insurance providers may require a referral for reimbursement.
Q3. How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your condition. Many patients feel improvement in 3–5 sessions, but chronic issues may take longer.
Q4. Will the treatment be painful?
You might feel some discomfort as we work on stiff areas, but our goal is always to reduce pain, not increase it.
Q5. What should I wear?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated (e.g., shorts for knee issues).
Q6. Is physiotherapy only for sports injuries?
Not at all! We treat everything from office-related back pain and post-surgery recovery to age-related mobility issues.
