NEWSLETTER SIGNUPFAQs - Marpole Physiotherapy Clinic - Vancouver, BC
Get answers to any of your questions related to rehabilitation from your injury at our Vancouver physiotherapy clinic, such as how long our appointments are, what you need to bring with you and more.
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
No referral is necessary to participate in physiotherapy treatment. However, patients are advised to check the details of their extended health benefits as some plans may require a physician's referral in order to get treatment costs reimbursed. Also, when you are being treated for a WCB or ICBC claim, a doctors referral is required.
How long will my appointment take?
Physiotherapy treatments are at least 30-minutes. All appointment times are one-on-one with your physiotherapist.
The number of sessions you'll need depends on your condition. The initial visit gives your therapist the information they need to assess your treatment course. Your therapist will discuss this with you after your initial assessment.
What do I need to bring with me?
We ask our patients to wear clothing appropriate to the type and area of injury. Shorts and a t-shirt or tank top is usually sufficient. We also have gowns and shorts available at the clinic for your convenience.
Please bring any test reports or other medical documentation you feel may be helpful in your treatment planning to your appointments.
If your condition is related to a work injury or an auto accident, we require your case manager's name and contact information, your doctors referral, your claim number, and extended health benefits information.
As mentioned, it is not necessary to have a doctors referral for a private visit. If you do have one, please bring it in with your Care Card.
