Health history and current concerns

 Strength, flexibility, and range of motion

 Movement patterns, posture, and reflexes

 Neurological and sensory function

 Overall health factors (such as heart and lung function, if relevant)

After the assessment, your physiotherapist will:

Provide a diagnosis and explain the root cause of your symptoms.

Develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your condition, goals, and lifestyle.

Guide you through your first therapeutic exercises or hands-on treatment during the same visit.

 In follow-up sessions, your therapist will track your progress and adjust your treatment plan as your body responds — ensuring you’re always moving closer to recovery and long-term wellness.

At Healrise, our goal is to make your first visit informative, comfortable, and empowering, so you leave knowing exactly what to expect on your path to healing.

The goal of physiotherapy treatment is to help people restore, maintain, and improve movement, function, and overall quality of life.

Reduce or eliminate pain – through manual therapy, modalities, and targeted exercises.

Improve mobility and flexibility – making daily activities easier and more comfortable.

Enhance strength and endurance – to support joints, muscles, and overall body function.

Promote faster recovery – after injuries, surgeries, or medical conditions.

Prevent future injuries – by correcting movement patterns and improving posture.

Rehabilitate neurological and musculoskeletal conditions – helping patients regain independence.

Improve overall wellness – supporting long-term physical health and active living.

In most cases, you do not need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist. You can book an appointment directly at Healrise Physiotherapy & Wellness and start your treatment right away.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

 Insurance Coverage – Some extended health insurance plans may require a physician’s referral in order to reimburse physiotherapy costs.

 Special Medical Conditions – If you have a complex medical condition or are recovering from surgery, your doctor may recommend physiotherapy and share relevant notes with our therapists for coordinated care.

 Collaboration with Doctors – Even without a referral, our physiotherapists often work closely with your physician to ensure the best treatment outcomes.

 To be sure, check with your insurance provider about referral requirements. But rest assured, at Healrise Physiotherapy & Wellness, you can start your recovery journey with or without a referral.
