What will it cost?
Every price is on this page, and no tax is added.
The length of each visit sits beside its price, so you can see what the number buys. A first visit is 45 minutes for $115. Most visits after that are 30 minutes for $85.
If your extended health plan covers physiotherapy, we bill it at the desk and you pay the difference, usually $0 to $25. If you have no plan, the table is what you pay, and a receipt comes by email the same day.
How much is each visit?
Most people pay $115 for the first visit and $85 for each follow-up.
The typical number of visits is a guess until your first visit. After that it is written on your plan, and you can hold us to it.

Does my plan cover this?
If your extended health plan covers physiotherapy, we bill it at the desk and you pay the part it does not, usually $0 to $25 a visit.
Most extended health plans can be billed directly. Tell us the name of your plan when you book. Some plans want a doctor's note before they pay, and we check that before your first visit, so nothing is a surprise at the desk.
You pay your share by debit, credit or cash while you put your coat on.
- Direct billing
- Jules sends the claim from the desk before you leave. You pay whatever the plan leaves, usually $0 to $25.
- If we cannot bill your plan
- You pay for the visit and a receipt is emailed the same day, ready to send in yourself.
- Workplace injury and car accident claims
- These have their own paperwork. Call us first and Jules at the desk will walk you through what is needed before you come in.
- Receipts
- One is emailed the same day, whether we billed your plan or not. Ask at the desk for a year-end summary for tax time.
- Cancelling or moving a visit
- Tell us 24 hours ahead by phone or text and there is no charge. With less notice, or if you do not come, the fee is $40, and your plan does not cover it.
- What we never ask for online
- Plan numbers, health card numbers and dates of birth are taken at the desk, not on this website.
What happens at the desk?
You show a card, Jules does the rest, and you pay the small part your plan leaves.
- Show your card
- Hand your extended health plan card to Jules at the desk. If you have two plans, hand over both.
- The claim goes in while you put your coat on
- Jules submits it from the desk. Nothing for you to fill in, nothing to post.
- Pay the difference
- Usually $0 to $25, by debit, credit or cash. The receipt is in your email before you reach the car.
If we cannot bill your plan, step 3 is the whole visit, and the receipt still arrives the same day.
What should I bring?
Your plan card, something you can move in, and any paperwork you already have.
- Your extended health plan card
- If you have one. We read what we need from it at the desk.
- Clothes you can move in
- Shorts for a knee, hip or ankle. A tank top or loose shirt for a neck or shoulder.
- Any imaging reports or the sheet from the hospital
- If you have them. You do not need to get one before you come.
- A list of the medicines you take
- The names are enough, on paper or on your phone.
- The shoes you run in
- For a running and sport assessment. We watch you move in them.
- A referral, only if you already have one
- In most provinces you do not need one to see a physiotherapist. Some plans ask for a doctor's note before they pay; tell us your plan's name when you book and we check.
- Five minutes
- Arrive 5 minutes early. There is a one-page form to fill in at the desk.
Coming after surgery? The sheet from the hospital and your surgeon's instructions matter most. We plan around the dates on it.
What else do people ask about paying?
Six things people ask at the desk, with the same answers Jules gives.
What if I need to cancel?
Tell us 24 hours ahead by phone or text and there is no charge. Moving a visit counts the same as cancelling one. With less notice, or if you do not come, the fee is $40, and your plan does not cover it.
Is there a reduced rate?
Yes. Students and seniors pay $65 for a 30-minute follow-up instead of $85. The reduced rate is for follow-ups; the first visit is $115 for everyone.
Can you split a visit between two plans?
Yes. We bill your primary plan first, then send what is left to the secondary. Bring both cards.
What if my plan runs out partway through?
We keep count with you and say so before it runs out, so the choice is yours before a bill arrives, not after. Most courses here are 3 to 7 follow-ups, so we can usually tell you early whether the plan will cover them.
How can I pay?
Debit, credit or cash, at the desk, at the end of the visit. No cheques.
Do I get a receipt for tax time?
A receipt is emailed the same day, whether we billed your plan or not. Ask at the desk for a year-end summary.
Something not here? Call or text (555) 555-0187. Phone and text are answered during opening hours, Monday to Saturday.
