Treatment Options for Orthopaedic Surgery Rehabilitations

You should visit a physiotherapist if your pain is mechanical. Also, other reasons you may choose to attend a physical therapy session include when pain is not going away, the pain has severely affected movement, or it prevents you from sporting activities. Any of these reasons show that it is time to see a physiotherapist.

No, because physiotherapists are considered primary care providers in Alberta, you do not need a referral from a doctor to see a physiotherapist.

In Alberta, Physiotherapy is not generally covered by Alberta Healthcare. Some physiotherapy sessions may be approved after surgery or fracture in approved clinics- but it is most common for individuals to pay out of pocket for treatment. Unfortunately Human Integrated Performance cannot receive payment by Alberta Healthcare. Many employers offer health benefits that cover physiotherapy services, which Human Integrated Performance provides direct billing options for.

Individual physiotherapy treatment sessions start at $80.00 at our clinic and initial physiotherapy assessment sessions start at $105.00. For more information on our prices for physiotherapy services, contact our team at 780-862-3111.

No, you do not need a prescription to see a physiotherapist in Alberta unless specified by your extended health benefits plan.

It’s common to feel fatigued, muscle soreness, and tenderness following a physiotherapy session but it should not hurt. Physiotherapy sessions involving mobilizing, stretching, and strengthening the affected area may cause soreness after your session.
