However, if you are planning to claim through certain health insurance providers or require treatment related to a specific medical condition, a referral from your doctor may be beneficial or required.

  • During your first session, the physiotherapist will conduct a thorough assessment to understand your condition, including discussing your medical history, symptoms, and goals.
