Physio FAQ

What Does a Physiotherapist Do?

Physiotherapists help you restore movement, reduce pain, and improve strength and function through assessment, hands-on treatment, personalized exercises, and education. They determine the root cause of your symptoms and design a plan to help you recover, prevent re-injury, and perform at your best.

How many Physio sessions will I need?

It depends on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Some people feel improvement after a few sessions, while others with chronic or post-surgical issues may benefit from a longer treatment plan. Your Physiotherapist will reassess your progress regularly and adjust your plan as needed.

Is Physiotherapy Covered By Insurance or Benefits?

Yes — most extended health benefit plans in Canada cover Physiotherapy services. The coverage amount varies by plan. At ASCEND, we can provide detailed receipts for insurance claims, and many plans allow for direct billing to make the process easier.

Do I Need a Doctor's Referral to see a Physiotherapist?

No — you do not need a referral to see a physiotherapist in Canada. You can book directly with your physiotherapist. However, some extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement, so it’s best to check your coverage.
