Schedule your physiotherapy session online in minutes.
It is a well-known fact that regular exercise and physical activity keep you active, provide more energy regardless of age, sex, and physical ability. However, exercise training is more than just mere exercise. More specifically, exercise therapy is a program of physical activity designed and prescribed for specific therapeutic goals. Its main purpose is to relieve pain caused by disease or injury and restore normal musculoskeletal function. Exercise training by physiotherapists can be and is different for different people and depends on your current level of muscle strength, muscle endurance, and cardiovascular endurance, and general health at the present time.
We provide Exercise Program and Training in Fleetwood, Vancouver & Surrey by our experts.
Physiotherapy uses effects of physical modalities like heat, ice sound, light waves and exercises to produce therapeutic effects. It aims to improve a person's ability to move and perform functional activities. Physiotherapy is a necessary component in patient care and is heavily relied on by doctors and other health professionals. A Physiotherapy visit includes a thorough examination, diagnosis, prognosis and physical intervention.
No. Physiotherapists are university trained medical professionals and primary care practitioners in BC. This means that you have direct access to physiotherapy without a doctor's referral. In some circumstances, like certain extended health plans, a doctor or nurse practitioner referral is required to access funding. Consult your insurance provider to learn whether a referral is needed in your specific case prior to commencing treatment. For WCB injuries a doctor referral is necessary. For ICBC Motor Vehicle Accidents, a doctor referral is not necessary for the first 20. However, continuing beyond 20 visits do need a doctor's note.
