While a doctor’s referral is typically not necessary for physical therapy services, some insurance providers may require it for coverage. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to determine if a referral is needed.

The number of treatments varies based on your condition and individual needs. Following a comprehensive assessment, your physiotherapist will discuss the treatment plan and the expected number of sessions required.
