Physiotherapy Session for Acute and Chronic Orthopaedic Care in Canada

Physiotherapy is often an integral component of non-operative treatment for acute and chronic orthopaedic conditions. An appropriately structured, evidence-based physiotherapy program can assist with improving strength, ROM, and function, as well as facilitate efficient recovery, and hasten a quicker return to work and other recreational activities. In some conditions, appropriate physiotherapy programs can help you avoid surgery altogether. 
 

Physiotherapy is offered by several different clinics and independent providers throughout BC and Alberta. It is best to check your yellow pages, or search online, to see which providers are available in your area. It is also useful to talk to others about their experiences at different physiotherapy clinics to determine if a particular clinic or therapist might be a good fit for you. Online reviews are another source of useful information for patients.
 

Please note, that arranging an appointment to see a physiotherapist does not generally require a referral from a medical practitioner, although this may be required by your private insurance provider (if applicable). We recommend you contact your preferred physiotherapist or physiotherapy clinic for further information about insurance coverage and referral requirements.
