Can I choose any physiotherapy clinic for treatment?

Absolutely!

Legislation passed in 1999 allows you to select the physiotherapy clinic of your choice. You are not obligated to follow a physician's recommendation; no medical practitioner, insurance company, or other entity can force you to attend a specific clinic.

We provide a proactive, results-oriented environment with well-trained, knowledgeable staff. We’re confident that Monarch Physiotherapy Clinic will provide the highest quality care to help you achieve your goals.

Can I go to any physiotherapy clinic I want?

Do I need a doctor’s referral to receive treatment?

Thanks to Direct Access, you do not need a doctor's referral or prescription to receive treatment from a physiotherapist. Direct Access is the legal right that enables patients in Canada to access physiotherapy services and programs directly.

Do keep in mind that Direct Access does not apply to insurance carriers, who may require a referral or prescription. Reach out to your insurance provider to confirm the details.
