Questions To Ask Your Massage Therapist, Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist
When you book an appointment with a Massage Therapist, Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist, you want to make sure to find someone who can meet your needs and aligns with your treatment goals.
There are many RMTs, PTs and OTs out there, and everyone brings something different to the table. You’ll want to consider their speciality, any additional training they have, their availability and of course the location of the clinic.
Here are some questions to ask when you’re deciding where to go to seek treatment.
Before You Make Your First Appointment
- Are you registered?
- Do you direct bill insurance, or how do I pay for my appointment?
- Is there anything I should bring to the appointment?
- How long will my appointment be?
- What conditions or injuries do you specialize in?
During Your Appointment
- Is there any home care I can do?
- When should I make my next appointment?
- How often should I come in?
