Frequently asked questions

Pulmonary Rehabilitation is a dedicated clinical field within physiotherapy designed to assess, diagnose, treat, and prevent specific movement dysfunctions, sports-related trauma, or neuromuscular injuries. Treatment plans combine hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and functional conditioning to return you to peak physical performance.

In Canada, physiotherapists are direct-access primary care practitioners. You do not require a medical doctor’s referral to book an appointment or receive specialized treatment, though some private extended health insurance policies may require one for reimbursement.

Your initial 45–60 minute session includes a comprehensive physical evaluation: biomechanical movement screening, joint and muscle testing, gait or postural analysis, and goal setting. Your physiotherapist will then prescribe a tailored treatment plan with hands-on therapy and home exercises.

Yes. Most private extended health insurance plans (e.g. Sun Life, Canada Life, Manulife, Blue Cross), WCB (Workers’ Compensation Board), and motor vehicle accident insurance (MVA, ICBC, MPI) cover specialized physiotherapy sessions with direct billing at most clinics.
