If you cannot do this or do not have access to a computer, please allow extra time to fill these out upon arrival.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Arrive early<\/strong>: Please arrive at least 20 minutes early to complete any remaining paperwork to maximize your time with one of our experts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bring any relevant medical information<\/strong>: If you have seen a physician or other healthcare provider for your condition, please bring any medical records or notes to your appointment. This will help our physiotherapists better understand your condition and develop your personalized treatment plan. We can access most imaging online, if you do not have it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bring insurance information<\/strong>: Please bring your insurance information so we can make a copy of your card for our records.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wear comfortable clothing<\/strong>: Please wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement. This will allow our physiotherapists to perform a thorough physical assessment and develop a tailored treatment plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Know what you want to accomplish<\/strong>: Our approach works best if you clearly understand your goals. Spend time thinking about what you hope to achieve during our time together. This information will help us develop a customized plan to suit your needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Come with questions<\/strong>: We encourage you to come to your first appointment with any questions or concerns. Our clinicians are happy to explain your treatment and condition so you can get the most out of your treatment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Insurance and Workers Compensation (WCB) Claims<\/strong>: In case of an automobile accident or worker&#8217;s compensation claim, bring any case manager or insurance adjuster&#8217;s contact names, phone numbers, and claim numbers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","faq_category":[62],"class_list":["post-217088","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","faq_category-physiotherapy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What should I do to prepare for my first appointment?
