No referral is needed to book a physiotherapy appointment at Envision Physiotherapy. In British Columbia, you can access physiotherapy directly. However, some extended health insurance plans may require a doctor's referral for coverage. We recommend checking with your provider before your first visit.

Your initial assessment at Envision typically lasts 45–60 minutes. Your physiotherapist will review your medical history, conduct a thorough physical examination, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan. Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the area being treated.
