Come in sore. Leave with a plan.
Physiotherapy on Ferrier Hill, above the harbour. No referral needed. The first visit is 45 minutes for $115, and you leave with your plan written down: what we found, what to do at home, and how many visits we expect.
Four things people check before they book
-
No referral needed
In most provinces you can see a physiotherapist without one. If your plan wants a doctor's note before it pays, we tell you before your first visit.
-
First visit: 45 minutes, $115
One patient at a time, with one physiotherapist, in one room. No tax on physiotherapy.
-
Direct billing to most extended health plans
We bill your plan at the desk. You pay the part it does not cover, usually $0 to $25.
-
Open to 7 pm, Monday to Thursday
Friday to 5 pm. Saturday 9 am to 1 pm. Book online at any hour.
What hurts?
Eight things people come in with, in their own words. Tap yours to see what a visit for it looks like: how long, what it costs, and how many visits most people need.
-
A low back that seized up
Bending, lifting, or nothing at all, and now you cannot straighten.
First visit, 45 min, $115 -
A neck and headaches
A stiff neck, a headache that starts at the base of the skull, or pain down one arm.
First visit, 45 min, $115 -
A knee that gives way on stairs
Going down is worse than going up. It clicks, swells, or does not feel safe.
First visit, 45 min, $115 -
A shoulder that will not lift
Reaching a shelf, reaching behind your back, or lying on that side at night.
First visit, 45 min, $115 -
A rolled ankle or heel pain
A sprain that has not settled, or the first steps of the morning hurt.
First visit, 45 min, $115 -
After surgery
A new knee, hip or shoulder, or a repair. We plan around your surgeon's dates.

Dizziness
When you roll over in bed or look up, or you feel unsteady on your feet.
Dizziness and balance assessment, 60 min, $140 -

A pain that stops your training, or one that comes back every season.
Running and sport assessment, 60 min, $140
Not on the list? Book a first visit and we will tell you on the day. If physiotherapy is not what you need, we say so, and you pay for one visit, not a course.
What happens at the first visit?
45 minutes, one room, one physiotherapist. The time goes like this.
-
10minutes
You talk
What hurts, when it started, what makes it worse, and what you need to get back to. We listen before we touch anything.
-
15minutes
We look and test
We watch you move and test the joint or the muscle. Then we say what we think we have found, in plain words, before anything else happens.
-
15minutes
Treatment starts today
Hands-on work, movement, or both. We explain each thing before we do it, and you can say stop at any point.
-
5minutes
Your plan, on paper
What we found, the exercises to do at home, and the number of visits we expect. You take it with you.
What to wear: shorts for a knee, hip or ankle. A tank top or loose shirt for a neck or shoulder.
What to bring: your extended health plan card if you have one, any imaging reports or the sheet from the hospital, and a list of the medicines you take. A referral only if you already have one.
Arrive 5 minutes early for the one-page form.
How many visits will I need?
The aim is to get better, then stop coming. After the first visit you know the number we expect, and it is written down. Most people have 3 to 7 follow-ups after the first visit.
-
The plan is on paper after visit one
What we found, what we will do, and the number of visits we expect. You hold us to it. If the number changes, we say why.
-
Home work takes about 10 minutes a day
Usually 3 exercises, written down with how many and how often, so there is nothing to remember.
-
A review visit, where we decide together
Usually visit 3. We look at what has changed and choose one of three things: finish, keep going, or send you to someone better placed. No open-ended treatment.
Who will I see?
Three physiotherapists. You see the same person every visit, and they write your plan. Pick by what they mostly treat and which days they are in, or take whoever is free soonest.
-
Maya Lindqvist
Physiotherapist and clinic owner. In Monday to Thursday.
Low backs, necks, and recovery after surgery. Speaks English and Swedish.
Book with Maya -
Daniel Okafor
Physiotherapist. In Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Knees, hips, ankles, running and sport, and knees after surgery. Speaks English and French.
Book with Daniel -
Hana Petrov
Physiotherapist. In Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Shoulders, dizziness and balance, and pelvic health. Speaks English and Czech.
Book with Hana
All three are Registered Physiotherapists, Reg. #00000 (demo). Jules is at the desk and does the insurance.
What do people say afterwards?
These three are invented for this demo. No real patient wrote them. A real build takes reviews from the clinic's own Google listing, in wording the clinic approves. Each one answers a question people ask before they book.
-
Written example
I put it off for a year because I thought it would hurt. Hana said before each thing what it would feel like, and that I could tell her to stop. I never had to. By the third visit I could reach the top shelf again.
-
Written example
The plan said 6 visits. At visit 5 Daniel said the knee was doing what it should and told me not to book the sixth. The sheet is still on my fridge, 10 minutes a day.
-
Written example
The price on the website was the price at the desk. Jules put it through my plan while I was doing up my coat. I paid $20, and the receipt was in my email before the 14 bus came.
