Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?
No. Physiotherapists are a regulated, primary care health provider which means that you do not require a referral from a physician to see a physiotherapist. This means that we are able to get you into our schedule as soon as you find yourself injured or hurting. However, it is important to note that some health insurance policies still require a physician's referral before they will reimburse you for your treatments. Please consult your insurance provider prior to treatment to find out what your policy states and to see if you need a physician's referral for your coverage to be active. If you are living in pain, there is no better time than now to seek help! Let us help you start off the new year healthy and pain-free!
