Is It A Quick Fix?

It’s understandable that if we are in pain, we want to be cured right away. Lots of people seek out remedies that offer quick relief, and many people turn to medications that promise to eliminate your pain. These cures only mask the pain and often force us into a continuing cycle of pain and drug use. Physiotherapy goes to the core underlying cause of your pain. Physiotherapy seeks a long-term solution to reducing pain naturally and permanently. However, in some cases, a physiotherapist can offer immediate relief from pain.

How Frequently Do I Have To Come And How Long?

Treatment plans vary widely because they are individualized and based on the nature of your injury or condition, your initial assessment findings, and your treatment goals. Some patients attend a few sessions, some attend 3 days per week for 6-8 weeks, and others attend for many months. Your progress will be monitored and your treatment plan may change during the course of treatment. Your physiotherapist will discuss your treatment plan with you.

Do I Need a Physician Referral to See a Physiotherapist?

No, Physiotherapists are primary care providers, thus you do not need a physician referral to see a Physiotherapist. However, physician referrals are always welcome. Also, be aware that some extended health care plans require a physician referral in order to provide coverage for your visits, so it is a good idea to check your plan and find out if a referral is required.

Does My Extended Health Care Cover Physiotherapy?

Most extended health care and employee health plans cover some or all of the costs associated with physiotherapy, usually up to a maximum amount. It’s best to call your provider and clarify your coverage.
