Did you know?! Physiotherapists are direct access practitioners and as such, you do not need a doctor's referral to book an appointment?

Some insurers may require a referral for reimbursement, so check your plan before you book.

Get in and get better faster!

Did you know you don't need a physician's referral to see a physiotherapist?

Physiotherapists are direct access practitioners, meaning you can book an appointment directly and start getting the care you need sooner.

Self-referring to a physiotherapist can benefit both you and the healthcare system by:
- Providing faster access to assessment and treatment
- Supporting earlier diagnosis and intervention
- Reducing overall healthcare costs
- Helping decrease unnecessary referrals to specialists
- Improving the overall patient experience

If you're dealing with pain, recovering from an injury, or looking to improve your mobility, don't wait. Connect with a physiotherapist and take the first step toward feeling your best.

"Physiotherapists can ... provide individualized exercises, posture education, and movement strategies to help reduce pain, prevent future injuries, and keep you feeling your best at work.

Some tips for setting up your own work station:
💻monitor should be at eye level
💪elbows bent at 90 degrees
👊wrists in neutral
✅knees bent at 90 degree
👣feet planted flat on the ground."

If you are suffering from pain because of long hours at the desk, give us a call at ActiveLife so we can help get you back on track!

A well-designed workstation can make a significant difference in your comfort, productivity, and overall health. A work station that is not properly set up can contribute to neck and back pain, headaches, shoulder tension, wrist discomfort, and fatigue, especially during prolonged periods of sitting. By ensuring your chair, desk, monitor, keyboard, and mouse are positioned correctly, you can reduce unnecessary strain on your muscles, promote better posture, and improve your ability to work comfortably throughout the day.

Physiotherapists can assess your workstation and identify ergonomic changes tailored to your needs, provide individualized exercises, posture education, and movement strategies to help reduce pain, prevent future injuries, and keep you feeling your best at work.

Some tips for setting up your own work station: monitor should be at eye level, elbows bent at 90 degrees, wrists in neutral, knees bent at 90 degree, feet planted flat on the ground.
