What to expect at your first visit

Your first appointment usually takes 45 to 60 minutes. We want to understand your story, assess how you move, and build a plan that fits your goals.

  1. Our front desk team will welcome you, confirm your details, and help with insurance or WCB paperwork.

  2. Your practitioner will ask about your symptoms, history, daily activities, and treatment goals.

  3. We assess movement, strength, posture, and function in the area being treated.

  4. You receive a clear explanation of our findings and a recommended treatment plan.

  5. Many first visits include hands on treatment or starter exercises when appropriate.

  6. We schedule follow up visits and give you home guidance to support your recovery.

  • Bring insurance details, WCB claim number, or MVA information if applicable.
  • Bring referral letters, imaging reports, or specialist notes you already have.
