All interactions between a therapist and client is bound by confidentiality. Informed consent is required for the initial assessment. Verbal and signed consent is required before any information is shared with the family doctor, specialist or other health professional.

You can have direct access to Physiotherapy for your orthopedic issues. We do NOT require a referral, however many insurance companies require a doctor's referral to provide reimbursement.

Orthopedic issues may bring with them frustration, stress, feelings of anxiety and depression. We take a biopsychosocial/spiritual approach to understand you as a whole person in addressing your health.

A good understanding of the current problem and any other health issues is important. You will receive a questionnaire before the initial assessment to gain an understanding about your history and challenges. Our intake questionnaire may seem lengthy but each part is essential to understanding you. Your issues and goals are explored while the physiotherapist reviews the completed forms during the initial assessment.

A good postural screen, spinal movement analysis, gait analysis, pelvic girdle and lower extremity motion and strength testing is part of the assessment.

At the end of the assessment, the findings, issues and goals are summarized and explained. You will leave the appointment with specific education, exercises and strategies to help you manage your individual challenges and health.
