Did you know the Canadian Physiotherapy Code of Conduct preserves your right to choose which clinic you want to go to — no matter who is paying?
That means people involved in car accidents, WCB (work-related injuries), legal cases, and sports teams or organizations are all currently free to decide where they receive treatment — without worry of any negative impact to their case or situation.
Some insurance companies or employers may provide a list of “preferred providers,” but this is only a suggestion — you are never required to attend a specific clinic. Your claim, benefits, or case will not be affected by choosing a physiotherapist you trust.
Because physiotherapy is a regulated medical profession, your rights as a patient are protected under the Canada Health Act and by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, which promote ethical and patient-centred care for all Canadians.
Your recovery, your choice.
