Am I covered for physiotherapy following a motor vehicle accident?

If you have suffered a sprain/strain or whiplash type of injury from a motor vehicle accident, your automobile insurance will cover 10-21 treatments in the first 90 days from the date of your accident. Clients are free to choose their physiotherapy provider and are not required to see the clinic their insurance company promotes.

How long is each treatment?

The initial assessment and treatment takes approximately one hour

Is there any public funding for physiotherapy?

Alberta Health Services provides limited funding through the Ambulatory Community Physiotherapy program. Currently, only patients requiring treatment post-fracture, post-surgery, or post-procedure are covered for up to 7 treatments. Total Hip and Knee post-op AHS funded physiotherapy is no longer available at our clinic.  Please call us for specific information.

What should I wear to my appointment?

You should wear comfortable exercise clothing that gives good access to the area being treated, i.e., shorts and runners for lower extremity injuries or tank tops for shoulder problems.
