Important Notice for Clients – Plan Ahead for the Best Care

To ensure you receive the most effective treatment and progress smoothly, please note the following:

New Concern? If you are returning with a new issue or injury, an Initial Assessment is required before treatment can begin.

Haven’t been in for a while? If it has been 3 months or more since your last visit, an Initial Assessment is needed to update your treatment plan and address any changes in your condition.

For best results, most conditions require at least six sessions. To maintain consistency in your care, we strongly recommend booking multiple follow-ups at the same time as your Initial Assessment to secure your preferred time slots and ensure continuous progress.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to supporting your recovery.

If you have any questions or need to schedule your assessment, please call us at 416-532-0555.
