Tips to find physiotherapists in Metro Vancouver BC

• Referrals and reference check: Once your family doctor has established the type of physiotherapy you require, make sure that the physiotherapist you will be dealing with has completed an accredited physiotherapy program in your province or territory. A hospital can refer you directly to a physiotherapy centre where you can get familiar with the machines and services before starting a physical rehabilitation.
• Listen to your body: Establish the type of physiotherapist that is right for you by comparing the hours of operation of the physiotherapy clinics on your list, their specialities (i.e. sports physiotherapy vs. general physiotherapy), the types of services they offer and, if applicable, their success rate. A good physiotherapist will devise a goal plan that you and your body can agree with. You should feel secure and comfortable with the physiotherapist’s proposed rehabilitation treatments. Don’t just go with it, listen to your gut.
• Choosing the right physiotherapist: The best physiotherapist for your needs will be the one that has successfully dealt with similar situations as yours. Ask your potential physiotherapist for references from past patients to get a better idea of the kind of recovery you’ll expect.
