There are many factors that come into play when deciding if you should be seen by a Physiotherapist, Chiropractor or Registered Massage Therapist, as each can be helpful in their own way. A few questions during an initial visit can help us determine which one of our practitioners would be the most beneficial to you (sometimes there could be more than one). Maxfit Movement Institute is an integrated clinic and after your initial consultation exam and treatment from your provider, if you and him/her feel you will that another form of treatment is needed, we will help design the best treatment plan to get you better and back to enjoying all that you do, pain-free.

There are many extended medical companies and a number of different policies within the company. It will all depend on the policy your employer has. In most cases your policy will cover the visits to a Chiropractor, Physiotherapist and Registered Massage Therapist (and many other professions). You should be aware that your policy will most likely have a cap per year as to how much they will cover and may not cover 100% of your visit. We at Maxfit Movement Institute do not have access to the policy you have so it will be up to you to find out exactly how much of your visit will be covered.

You do not necessarily need to have had any kind of medical imaging before your visit at Maxfit Movement Institute. However, if you have had medical imaging on the area needing treatment, it will be extremely helpful to your provider for you to bring the imaging report. If, at your appointment, your provider at Maxfit Movement Institute decides that they would like to see the actual imaging, we will have you sign an authorization form to have a copy of the disc sent to us from where you had the imaging done. Also, if after the initial exam the practitioner decides that imaging is necessary, you will be referred back to you physician to have imaging done.

Please have your medical card, insurance information, medication list, illness diary if you keep one, any medical records pertaining to your complaint, and in general anything that can help us best address your issue.

No. The first appointment is a complete consultation where the practitioner will take a history and do a detail examination of your presenting complaint.
