Frequently Asked Questions

What is physiotherapy?

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.

Do I need a referral for physiotherapy?

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.

What should I bring for my first visit?

You are expected to arrive 10- 15 mins prior to your appointment time to fill out paperwork. You will require to bring your: Care Card number; Claim number (if WSBC or ICBC); Doctor's referral, if applicable; Extended Health Plan Card; Diagnostic test results (MRI, CT scan, X-ray), if available.

What can I expect during the first visit?

The first visit is for 30 -40 mins. You can come in comfortable clothing like yoga pants, shorts, t-shirt or tank top. Patient gowns are also available at the clinic to change prior to the session if need be. One of our highly trained physio will complete a thorough assessment (checking your joint range of movement, muscle strength, functional abilities, pain patterns and level). A treatment plan will be set based on your goals after the assessment.

How many sessions will I need / How long will I require Physiotherapy treatment?

It depends on the nature of your injury. After a thorough assessment, your physiotherapist will discuss with you the treatment plan and the number of sessions anticipated for recovery based on the scope of your recovery.
