The Macleod trail

Relief. Remedy. Recovery.

Every plan is different, but every recovery follows the same route.

  1. 01

    Assess We start by listening.

    A full assessment of your history, movement and strength. We explain what we find in plain words and agree on your goals.

  2. 02

    Relief Calm things down.

    Early care aims to settle pain and protect healing tissue with hands-on treatment, gentle movement and clear advice.

  3. 03

    Remedy Work on the cause.

    We work on what is driving the problem: targeted exercise, mobility and technique, checking progress at every visit.

  4. 04

    Recovery Back to what matters.

    We build the strength and confidence you need for work, sport and daily life, and a plan to keep it.

  5. Goals, not guarantees. How long each stage takes depends on you.

Questions

Before your first visit.

See all questions or call us.

Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist in Alberta?

No. You can book with a physiotherapist directly. Some extended health plans ask for a doctor’s note before they reimburse, so check your plan first.

What happens at my first visit?

We talk about your symptoms and goals, assess how you move and explain what we find in plain language. Most people start treatment the same day and leave with exercises for home.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on the problem, how long you’ve had it and your goals. After your assessment we’ll give you an idea, then reassess and adjust as you go.

Can I book massage therapy or acupuncture without seeing a physiotherapist?

Yes, you can book them directly online. Some benefit plans ask for a doctor’s note for massage therapy, so check yours first.

Which service is right for me?

If you’re not sure, start with a physiotherapy assessment. Your physiotherapist will suggest whether massage, osteopathy, kinesiology, acupuncture, dry needling or shockwave therapy could help too.
