May is National Physiotherapy month in Canada, and physiotherapists, physiotherapy aides, and physiotherapy students across our country celebrate our profession!
As many people know, or learn as they meet a physiotherapist .... you do NOT need a referral to seek our help! We are a primary health care service, where more and more individuals are self-referring to us, meaning they are getting the help they need sooner, which in turn leads to a faster path to recovery and life!
