Injuries sustained at work are eligible for physiotherapy treatments funded by the Worker’s Compensation Board (WCB). A doctor’s referral is not required to access physiotherapy. The injury must be reported to the employer and the appropriate forms need to be completed.

During the initial physiotherapy appointment, the physiotherapist will ask a variety of questions. These questions allow our therapists to gather information regarding the type of injury, symptoms, current activity levels, and job demands. The therapist will then complete a physical assessment. This includes observations of movement such as specific joint movements, muscle strength, walking, balance, and job-specific activities.
