Physiotherapy Referrals & Fees
Physiotherapy at Wellington Ortho & Rehab can be started with or without a referral from your physician. Some insurance plans require a doctor’s referral for you to be reimbursed.

The fee for an assessment by a physiotherapist is $110. Each subsequent treatment has a fee of $70. Direct billing is available for a number of extended health care plans. We accept payment by cash, cheque, debit, Mastercard, or Visa.
FAQs About Physiotherapy Treatments
Depending on the type of injury, your first visit may take up to an hour.
Your physiotherapist will ask about your medical history and review your current condition. This is called an assessment. Any relevant tests will be performed to determine treatment goals specific to your particular needs. Based on your assessment, your physiotherapist will establish a diagnosis and work in partnership with you to develop an individualized treatment program and prognosis.
Your physiotherapy treatment program will almost always include a component of therapeutic exercises during and in between appointments. Your plan may also include educational information, manual therapy components (e.g. stretching), and modalities to reduce pain (shockwave/acupuncture).
The frequency of appointments, after your initial assessment, will depend on your condition and will be discussed at your first visit.
