FAQs

Please have your prescription and insurance card available when you call. This will allow us to verify your insurance benefits and provide you with an estimate of coverage.

To bring/keep in mind on your first visit:

• In case of an automobile accident or worker’s compensation claim, bring any case manager or insurance adjuster contact names, phone numbers, and claim number.
• A prescription (if needed) for physiotherapy from your referring physician or practitioner. No referral or can’t find your referral note? No worries. We can get your first visit started and sort out other pending documents later.
• Insurance or extended health benefit  information.
• Please arrive 15 minutes early to complete any remaining paperwork, so you can maximize your time in your evaluation.
• Please wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your problem areas.
• Print out the patient forms, fill them out, and bring them with you. If you are unable to do this, please allow for extra time to fill these out upon your arrival.

In most cases, insurance or health benefits will cover a good portion, if not all, of your treatment costs. We understand navigating insurance can be confusing, so Zenith Physiotherapy and Wellness will be happy to assist in contacting your insurance company and determining your coverage based on your policy.

For more information, visit our insurance plan page, and please do not hesitate to contact our Airdrie physiotherapy office. We do offer different payment options for your convenience.

Dress comfortably in clothes that allow easy access for the therapist to examine your problem areas.

For treatments, loose-fitting clothes that are comfortable for gentle exercises and supportive sneakers are often good choices to wear.

Your insurance benefits will be determined before your second visit, and you will be informed of what, if any, payment is necessary on that date.

We accept cash, check, debit card, and credit card. We are happy to discuss payment plan options as well. It is our policy that payment is made at the time of service.

For patients who do not have or have maxed out their health-benefit coverage, we do offer options of payment by debit card and major credit cards.

You have the right to receive physiotherapy at any facility you choose. At Zenith Physiotherapy and Wellness, you will receive the highest quality care while achieving the results you are in search of.

Although all patients are different, typically, the first session lasts for 1 hour. Each session after that may be 30-45 minutes.

The amount of time will be based on your specific needs, and our therapist will discuss this with you. You will most likely see your therapist two or three times per week, to begin with, and as you progress through treatment, your sessions will be more spread out.

With physiotherapy, it’s important to know that the overall goal is to restore pain-free mobility and function and to prevent the injury or pain from recurring.

Our physiotherapists evaluate your movement patterns, identify the cause of your pain, and work to manage or eliminate it.

Physiotherapists are trained medical experts when it comes to musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. They work closely with physicians to make sure that your treatment plan is as efficient and effective as possible. Physiotherapy is a medical, hands-on approach to relieving pain and restoring function.

While every patient’s condition and pain are unique, our physiotherapist will use a variety of gentle hands-on techniques, exercises, and equipment to relieve pain quickly and restore your function to optimum levels.

Good communication with our therapist will help minimize any discomfort. We want you on your way to quick pain relief and back to normal activities.

Physiotherapy is not meant to hurt, but to relieve pain! There is a chance, however, as you restore your mobility that your pain levels will fluctuate. You might experience some temporary soreness from using muscles that are weakened or recovering.

Rest assured that this is a normal response to physiotherapy treatment and not a cause for concern.

Each patient’s diagnosis is different, so together with your referring physician, our therapist will develop a plan of care that is right for you.

Your plan of care and number of visits will be determined during your first visit and explained to you by our physiotherapist.

Yes, once you have completed your therapy sessions, your therapist will review your at-home continuing therapy program.

We can also make arrangements to meet you at your gym to work with you on determining what equipment may be beneficial, and what exercises would be helpful in your continued recovery.
