How Can We Help?

No — you don’t need a doctor’s referral to book physiotherapy, chiropractic care, or massage therapy with us.Some insurance plans do require a referral for reimbursement, so it’s always a good idea to check your benefits. We’re happy to help you look into this.

Your first visit is all about understanding you.You’ll meet one-on-one with your practitioner, complete a full assessment, and talk through your goals. We’ll explain what we find, answer questions, and create a personalized treatment plan that supports your recovery or performance needs.
