Please book an assessment if you are NEW to Scotia or have not been assessed for this issue within the past 3 MONTHS. A physiotherapy assessment visit will include history taking and evaluation of your injury and surrounding joints that may affect your injury. This will involve approximately 40-60 minutes of one-on-one assessment, discussion of your goals and treatment plan, plus treatment time with your therapist. It is very important that at the time you book an assessment, you also book at least 2 follow-up appointments ~1 week apart, if possible, as our therapists are often booking several weeks in advance. This will help ensure you receive the care you need at a time convenient to you.
