Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about physiotherapy at Luminate Co
Do you offer direct billing?
Yes, we direct bill most major insurance providers for physiotherapy services.
Do I need a doctor's referral?

How long is an appointment?
Initial assessments are typically 45–60 minutes, and follow-ups are 30–45 minutes.
Is physiotherapy covered by insurance?
Most extended health plans include physiotherapy coverage. Check with your provider for details.
Can physiotherapists diagnose injury?
Physiotherapists are considered primary care professionals and are able to diagnose your condition and provide treatment for it. However, if your physiotherapist believes you need further testing or treatment, they will likely refer you to another healthcare provider.
Will physiotherapy hurt?
While most patients report feeling no pain throughout their session, you may have a different experience. It's crucial to tell your physiotherapist if and when something seems uncomfortable. This will provide them additional insight into the problem and enable them to adjust your treatment plan.
What treatments are involved in physiotherapy?
This depends on the diagnosis and the severity of your condition. In general, physiotherapy treatments will fall into one of five categories: exercise and education, manipulation and massage, electrotherapy, hydrotherapy, and therapeutic taping. Your therapist will likely use a combination of these approaches to help you recover as quickly as possible.
When should I book an appointment?
Book as soon as you experience pain, discomfort, or mobility changes—especially after surgery or an accident. Early treatment prevents minor issues from becoming serious musculoskeletal problems and significantly reduces recovery time.
