What do I need to have for my virtual visit?

All you will need for your virtual session is a device with a working camera, microphone, and an internet connection!

Will anything be recorded during the virtual visit?

No, the virtual platform will only be used to have a face-to-face video call to complete the session. Similar to an in-person clinic visit, your physiotherapist will be charting the assessments and treatments using a secure online charting system. However, no video or audio will be recorded from the session.

What does a virtual assessment look like?

A virtual assessment begins with a subjective portion which involves a conversation with your physiotherapist about your concerns, medical history, and goals for your physiotherapy treatment. Your physiotherapist will ask you questions that will provide more information about your condition. You will then move on to your objective assessment to look at things like your movement, posture, and strength. Finally, your physiotherapist will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan for your specific case. No, you will never be asked to undress or show your privates on camera. 

What does treatment look like virtually?

Treatment plans may include a home exercise program, education, and self-management techniques, all tailored to your specific case. Your follow up treatment sessions may include looking at your progress and making any changes or adding new treatments to your plan.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please be aware that we require you to contact us with at least 24 hours’ notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling.

Do I need a doctor’s referral?

No, you can book an appointment directly with us as physiotherapists are primary healthcare providers and do not need a doctor’s referral.

Can I book an appointment even if I have no pain?

Yes! Not all patients come in with existing pain. You may be pregnant and just want to prepare your pelvic floor for birth, or you want to get back to exercising postpartum. These are some examples, if you are not sure you can always book a free 10 minute consultation with a physiotherapist to determine what can be done for your specific needs!
