For your initial assessment, please wear loose, comfortable athletic clothing that allows for easy movement. If you are coming in for a lower-body injury, shorts or track pants are highly recommended. For neck, upper back, or shoulder issues, a tank top or loose t-shirt is best so your therapist can easily examine the area.

Yes, we offer direct billing to most major extended health insurance providers, including but not l limited to Pacific Blue Cross, Canada Life, Sun Life, and Manulife. Because every policy is unique, please check with your specific insurance provider prior to your appointment to verify your plan's exact coverage parameters, limits, and if a doctor's referral is required.

Physiotherapy focuses heavily on clinical diagnosis, physical assessment, hands-on manual therapy, and specialized medical treatments (like vestibular, concussion or cancer rehab).
