FAQ
How many sessions do I need with my chiropractor or physiotherapist?
During your initial assessment, our chiropractor or physiotherapist will provide a tailored treatment plan which will outline the frequency and duration of your treatment. The total number of sessions could vary between 5-15 sessions. It is all dependant upon the reason for the visit and the severity of the injury.
How long is each session?
Your first appointment will involve a detailed assessment by a health practitioner followed by a treatment session that can be up to 60 minutes long. Subsequent treatment sessions may vary between 30-45 minutes, depending on the complexity of your condition.
Does my extended health care plan cover my treatments?
Yes! Your extended health insurance plan can be used for physiotherapy, chiropractic and massage therapy services as we bill directly to all major insurance companies. If you are unsure about your coverage, feel free to stop by any of our clinics and our exceptionally skilled receptionists can assist you.
Do I need a doctor's referral to come to Trend Physio?
You do not need a referral to be treated by our therapists. However, some private insurance companies do require a doctor's referral for physiotherapy, chiropractic, and massage therapy reimbursement. We encourage you to check with your insurance provider regarding the details of your plan coverage.
What should I expect during my first visit to Trend Physio?
During your first visit to Trend Physio, our therapist will note a detailed history of your pain or injury. Our therapists aim to understand your routine, activities, and review all necessary medical documentation. In doing so, we understand your limitations, potential concerns and your goals for treatment. Our therapist will perform a physical assessment, where they will check the range of motion, and muscle strength and run diagnostic tests in the area of injury. These tests help us reach a working diagnosis and plan the course of treatment.
Our therapist will then work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan designed specifically for your needs - whether reducing pain, preventing injury, adjusting posture, or optimizing movement.
Will the initial assessment also include treatment?
Yes! At Trend Physio, we believe in using both hands-on treatment and exercise therapy in our clinic. During the first session, our therapists utilize several soft tissue massage or mobilization techniques, with an aim to reduce pain and increase movement. We also re-assess the effect of our treatment to make sure we deliver the most effective form of therapy.
Additionally, our therapist will provide a home exercise plan on the first day of treatment, itself. At Trend Physio, we aim to empower our clientiele with the right knowledge and instruction to improve their physical health.
How should I dress to my appointment?
The best clothing to wear to your appointment is comfortable, loose-fitted clothing that does not restrict movement and allows access to the injury. We also have bathroom facilities and private rooms available if you need to change. Our therapists can also provide gowns to properly assess your injury and concerns.
