Frequently Asked Questions
What Can I Expect During My First Online Assessment?
You will enjoy the same exceptional care through our online sessions as you would at our Greater Vancouver clinic. Your friendly and professional physiotherapist will begin by asking relevant questions about your medical background, lifestyle, daily activities, general level of fitness, and desired outcomes before getting started. You may be asked to perform certain movements to help them assess limitations and capabilities. This 45-minute session also presents you with a great opportunity to ask questions and express any concerns you may have.
Do I Need to Prepare Before My First Session?
Absolutely! Here’s what we recommend:
- Establish a private and open space in your home
