We do not regulate what third party payers will and will not pay for. Any receipts will clearly indicate " Physiotherapy Postpartum Rehabilitation Group Class".

This comprehensive assessment is designed to understand your pelvic health concerns and goals. Your consent is important at each step of the subjective and objective assessment. Your appointment will include a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, physical activity, and factors such as bladder, bowel, sexual health, and pelvic organ prolapse symptoms. A physical assessment may include evaluation of your posture, breathing, core, low back, and hip function, and pelvic floor muscles. With your informed consent, an external and internal pelvic exam may be offered to assess muscle function, coordination, and tissue health. Your physiotherapist will explain all findings and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Follow-up sessions focus on progressing your individualized treatment plan and supporting your recovery. Treatment may include education, pelvic floor muscle retraining (relaxation and/or strengthening), manual therapy, mobility and strength exercises, breathing techniques, and guidance for returning to daily activities, exercise, or sport. Internal techniques may be used when appropriate and always with your consent. Sessions are adapted to your comfort level and goals.

Please choose this booking option if you are experiencing acute or chronic vertigo, dizziness, disequilibrium and/or imbalance.
If you are unable to attend an in-person assessment due to geographical barriers or symptom severity, Telehealth can be an excellent way to diagnose your condition from a distance and provide early intervention guidance, as well as help you navigate your full recovery from a distance if this is our best option. If you are experiencing Vertigo, it is helpful, but not mandatory, if you are able to have someone with you during the assessment, both to help with screen positioning for better practitioner viewing, as well as to help support you in the case of symptom exacerbation. Note: Most assessments require an hour, however, in the case that your presentation is simple and takes less time, you will only be charged for the duration of the appointment time. ie. 45 minutes=140.00, 30 minutes=100
Select this appointment if you are seeing your practitioner for a dizziness/vertigo condition. Note: the cost/billing title is the same for a standard physiotherapy session, this just helps to remind your practitioner to prepare for your visit.
