First Visit — Frequently Asked Questions

1. What should I bring to my first visit?

Bring a valid photo ID, your health card, and any doctor's referral if you have one. If you've had imaging done (like an X-ray or MRI), bring those reports too. It also helps to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes so the physiotherapist can easily assess the area that's bothering you.
2. How long does the first appointment usually take?

Your first visit typically runs about 45 to 60 minutes. It takes a bit longer than a follow-up because your physiotherapist needs time to understand your history, figure out what's going on, and put together a plan that works for you.
3. Will I get treatment on my first visit, or is it just an assessment?

Most of the time, yes — you'll get some treatment on your first visit. After the assessment, your physiotherapist will usually start with some hands-on work or exercises right away. That said, it depends on your condition, so it can vary from person to person.
4.Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist?

In most cases, no. You can book directly without a referral. However, if you're going through insurance or a specific health plan, some providers do require one. It's a good idea to check with your insurance company beforehand just to be sure.
5. What happens during the assessment?

Your physiotherapist will start by asking about your symptoms — when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they're affecting your daily life. Then they'll do a physical check, which might involve testing your range of motion, strength, and posture. It's a conversation, not just a clinical exam, so feel free to ask questions along the way.
6. Will it be painful?

It shouldn't be. Some movements during the assessment might feel a bit uncomfortable, especially if you're already in pain, but your physiotherapist will always work within your comfort level. If anything feels too uncomfortable, just say so — they'll adjust.
7. How many sessions will I need?

That really depends on your condition, how long you've had it, and how your body responds to treatment. Your physiotherapist will give you a rough idea after the first visit. Some people feel much better in a few sessions; others with more complex issues need a longer plan. You won't be locked into anything — the plan is adjusted as you go.
8. Is physiotherapy covered by my insurance?

Many private insurance plans do cover physiotherapy, but the amount varies depending on your plan. It's worth calling your provider before your appointment to find out what's covered and whether you need a referral. Our clinic team can also help answer any questions about billing.
9. What if I'm nervous or don't know how to describe my pain?

That's completely normal — you don't have to have the right words. Just describe what you're feeling as best you can, and your physiotherapist will ask follow-up questions to help piece it all together. They're used to working with people who aren't sure how to explain what's going on.
10. Can I come in if my pain just started, or should I wait to see if it goes away?

You don't have to wait. Getting assessed early can actually help you recover faster and prevent the problem from getting worse. If you're unsure whether physiotherapy is right for you right now, give us a call and we can help you figure out the best next step.
