What to Bring to Your First Physiotherapy Appointment

Preparing for Your First Visit

Your first physiotherapy appointment is an important step in understanding your pain, injury, or movement concern. Bringing the right information can help your physiotherapist complete a more detailed assessment and create a better treatment plan.

At Total Wellness Rehab Physiotherapy & Massage Clinic in Brampton, your first visit focuses on your symptoms, goals, movement, and daily function.

Bring Your Insurance Information

If you have private insurance, bring your benefits card or policy details. Some plans may require a doctor’s referral, so it is helpful to confirm your coverage before your appointment.

If your treatment is related to a motor vehicle accident or workplace injury, bring any claim information you have.

Bring Medical Documents If Available

Helpful documents may include:

• Doctor’s referral

• X-ray report

• MRI report

• Ultrasound report

• Specialist notes

• Medication list

• Previous physiotherapy or treatment notes

You do not need imaging to start physiotherapy in every case, but if you already have reports, bring them.

Wear Comfortable Clothing

Wear clothing that allows movement and gives access to the area being assessed. For example, shorts may be helpful for knee, hip, or ankle concerns. A tank top or loose shirt may help with shoulder or neck assessment.

Prepare Your Questions

Consider asking:

• What may be causing my symptoms?

• What should I avoid?

• What exercises should I do?

• How often should I attend?

• How will progress be measured?
