Below you’ll find answers to the most common physio FAQs we get asked. They cover practical, outcome-focused concerns including pain relief, treatment customization, insurance, and treatment options.
Physiotherapy FAQs
What happens during my first physiotherapy visit?
Your Pickering physiotherapist conducts a detailed physical exam, asks about your daily movement habits and goals, then explains your diagnosis and treatment pathway.
How do physio exercises fit into my daily life?
After in‑clinic sessions, you’ll follow personalized home exercises that address your specific movement patterns and support your goals outside of physio appointments.
When will I notice results from physiotherapy?
Many patients feel reduced pain or improved mobility after just a few sessions, though the full physio plan adjusts based on how your body responds.
How do therapists tailor physio plans to each person?
Physiotherapists evaluate your posture, strength, flexibility, and movement patterns, then combine manual techniques, exercises, and modalities into a plan that evolves as you progress.
Which types of tools and modalities do physiotherapists use?
Physiotherapists may apply hands‑on joint mobilization, soft‑tissue massage, targeted stretches, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation (like IFC), and guided exercise.
Do physio sessions ever cause pain?
Your physiotherapist will work within your comfort zone. Some physio treatments may feel a little uncomfortable, but the techniques can be adjusted to prevent pain and encourage progress.
Can physio help me avoid surgery?
Yes, many physio patients achieve lasting recovery through a structured physio plan instead of surgery, especially for joint, tendon, or muscle issues.
Do I need a referral or prescription to begin physiotherapy?
You can book physio appointments directly with our licensed physiotherapist. However, some insurance plans still ask for a doctor’s note to process benefit claims, but many don’t.
How many physio sessions do I typically need?
Our Pickering physiotherapist will recommend a session series based on your condition. You can adjust the plan as you heal. Expect between 4 and 10 visits initially, depending on severity and response.
Are all physio clients athletes or injured individuals?
Not at all. People visit our Pickering physiotherapy clinic to manage pain, improve posture, prepare for events, or prevent injuries, even if they don’t currently feel unwell.
How should I dress for physio treatment?
Wear comfortable clothes that let you move freely and expose the treatment area, like shorts for knee issues or a tank top for shoulder treatment.
What if I dislike a particular physio treatment technique?
You have full control. If a physio technique makes you uneasy, like high-pressure massage, you can request alternatives or adjustments.
Will my physio assign follow-up checks or progress reviews?
Yes, your Pickering physiotherapist will re-evaluate progress regularly and adapt your treatment plan to your changing needs, ensuring you stay on track toward recovery.
