Cost:

Direct2U Physical Therapy - powered by Phzio - is more affordable than standard physiotherapy rates. An assessment costs $59, and a follow up costs $39. You may have a co-pay that is needed, and Phzio will therefore ask for your credit card information upon registration.

Virtual Care Common Conditions:

Just as the ability to be seen by a doctor virtually is rapidly expanding, with your Direct2U Doctors coverage for example, it is interesting to learn that most physiotherapy-related concerns can be assessed virtually, with major injuries such as fractures being the exception. Research shows that virtual care for musculoskeletal injuries - involving bones, muscles, and joints - is as effective as in-person physiotherapy.

Some common physiotherapy virtual care conditions include:

Headaches
Neck and shoulder pain
Tennis and Golfer's elbow
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Back pain
Knee pain
Achilles tendonitis
Foot and ankle pain
Sports injuries

What to Expect:

After booking your appointment, a member of the Phzio Provider Success Team will reach out to you and ensure you are session ready. With your consent, during your virtual care appointment, your PT will begin by asking questions about your concern. Range of motion pictures, and videos, may be captured to help your PT with their diagnosis. If you have been experiencing shoulder pain, for example, your PT can take pictures of how high you can lift your arm and measure the range of motion. Your PT will then provide you with a home exercise program from a library of over 1,000 exercise videos. You can complete your exercises with your digital device any time, and follow-up with your PT or Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA), until you are discharged.
