Physiotherapy

Physiotherapists are able to assess physical impairments, to plan a treatment plan as well as treat various conditions affecting the neurological, cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal system. Physiotherapy is a direct access, which means that you can make an appointment to come see us without a doctor's referral. However, you may want to check the details of your insurance plan to see if it requires a referral. Each treatment is specific and individualized according to your needs.
