- Pain with at least two of the following activities: ascending/descending stairs, hopping/jogging, prolonged sitting, kneeling and squatting

Frequently Asked Questions
Will insurance cover this Physiotherapy program?

PhysioReady currently not offer those services. However, some benefit plans have a fitness and wellness portion that might cover program like PhysioReady. Go ahead and contact your benefits advisor to find out whether you have a section like this under your coverage plan and if it might cover PhysioReady.

Is this program considered Physiotherapy?
Our programs are designed by physiotherapists for unique conditions based on the best available evidence. Instead PhysioReady is a generalized fitness program and not considered physiotherapy treatment. For a service to truly be called “Physiotherapy”, there must be an initial assessment completed by a registered physiotherapist, along with ongoing program modification and reassessment.
Do I need a Doctor to refer me to this program?
No, you do not. PhysioReady provides open access. Though you do not need a referral from your family doctor, PhysioReady is individualized to specific diagnoses. With that in mind, it is required for patients to visit a healthcare provider they trust (ie. family or sports doctor, physiotherapist, etc.) to receive a proper diagnosis before beginning PhysioReady. Then, after you have received and understand your diagnosis, enroll with PhysioReady and get started!
What happens if the program doesn’t fix my problem?
Most users see huge improvements in their condition. However, if PhysioReady does not seem to resolve your condition follow up with your family physician or another allied health professional to discuss your own next steps.
Do I need internet access to use the program?
PhysioReady is accessible both online and offline! Getting registered will require that you visit our website at physioready.com. But, once you are registered, you can download your personalized video content directly onto your phone and view it offline. You can also print out the written portions of your program as a PDF if you prefer to see it all on paper and device free.
