Review
"After working from home for the past year, my shoulders and neck were in much pain. I visited this clinic and met with Bryan the chiropractor that currently practices there. He did a great job working in to the pain areas and I walked out feeling like my shoulders and neck had completely reset. He hit the spot that was causing all the pain. Great clinic! Great chiropractor. Will definitely be going back again." S.S
Review
"This is your one stop shop for all things Physio. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and you feel like you're in good hands. I suffer from Scoliosis and during flare ups, it can be hard to find relief. Omar is attentive and great at listening to issues/pain I'm experiencing. He not only helps to heal, but also provided everyday tips to improve my daily quality of life. It can be nerve wracking going out during COVID, but, rest assured this clinic has all the precautionary health standards in place to make you feel safe. Would highly recommend! A.M

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I'm not covered by insurance?
Some patients do pay out-of-pocket for physiotherapy. We accept most major credit cards, debit, and cash. We provide only the therapy you need, and we will empower you to supplement your in-clinic care with a home care program.
Do I need to bring anything with me?If you plan on having insurance cover your treatments, bring your insurance information and we can look into whether direct billing for physiotherapy is an option with your insurance provider. Bring your referral or doctor's note, if you have one. Wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing.
What happens on my first visit?
You will be thoroughly assessed by a Registered
Physiotherapist. The physiotherapist will develop an appropriate treatment plan and get you started with treatment right away.
Is a doctor's referral necessary?
A doctor’s referral isn't necessary, but in rare cases, our physiotherapist may need you to see your doctor or a sports medicine physician to get further testing done. Note that some extended insurance may require doctor’s referral to get reimbursements for physiotherapy as well.
What shall I wear?
Comfortable, loose fitting clothing is suggested as specific areas in the body are subject for evaluation and treatment. For instance, if the issue is on you knee then it’s better to wear shorts or loose fitting pants that can be rolled up.
How many treatments do I need?
Number of treatments depends on your condition and the severity of your injury. Everyone responds differently to their type of treatment, but you will know on day 1, before you leave, what is suggested.
