Physiotherapy is a health care profession which assists people to restore, maintain and maximize their strength, function, movement, and overall well-being. The terms "physiotherapy" and "physical therapy" mean the same thing and are used interchangeably, as are the terms “physiotherapist” and “physical therapist”.
You don't need to have a doctor's referral for physiotherapy!
In Saskatchewan, you can make an appointment directly with a physical therapist to obtain physiotherapy services, just as you normally would do with your doctor or dentist.
