Thorough assessment
History, movement testing and special tests to find the working diagnosis and what is contributing to it.
Sports and orthopaedic physiotherapy
Rehabilitation built around your current abilities and goals.
The short answer
Physiotherapy involves assessment and an individual plan for movement and function concerns. A registered physiotherapist discusses the findings, appropriate options and next steps. Plans may include education, exercise or hands-on techniques, with progress reviewed over time.
Our approach
Our physiotherapists work with activity goals, injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation. Assessment guides an individual plan; activity is adjusted to symptoms, healing, relevant surgical instructions and response over time. Recovery and return-to-sport outcomes vary.

Questions about physiotherapy
General information to help you discuss the service.
Do I need a doctor’s referral for physiotherapy?
No referral is needed to book physiotherapy in Ontario. Some insurance plans require one to reimburse, so check your benefits booklet or call your provider.
Does Apex offer direct billing for physiotherapy?
Direct billing is available for eligible plans. Confirm the billing arrangements with the clinic and coverage, limits and reimbursement with your insurer.
How soon after surgery should I start physio?
Follow your surgeon’s instructions, but for many procedures early, protected rehab is part of the plan. We coordinate with the protocol you were given.
Physio or chiropractor — who should I see?
There is plenty of overlap, and our team works together. If you are unsure, book an assessment with either and we will route you to the right person.
