3. Do I need a referal by my family physician or other health care practitioner?
No, you do not need referral to be assessed and treated by a physiotherapist. Some insurance companies may need you to have Doctor’s referral in order to reimburse you. Please, check with your insurance company prior to booking an appointment.
