What to bring and how to prepare

1. Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist?

  • No referral is required to visit a physiotherapist.

  • However, if your sessions are covered by an insurance company, they may require a referral in order to reimburse the costs.

2. What medical documents or test results should I bring?

  • Previous medical records related to your complaints (doctor’s notes, hospital discharge summaries, surgery reports)

  • Results of any diagnostic tests, if available (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound, or CT scan reports)

  • A list of medications if you are taking regular prescriptions (especially those affecting the musculoskeletal or cardiovascular system)

  • Your insurance card if you plan to use health insurance coverage

3. What should I wear and bring to the session?

  • Comfortable sportswear that allows free movement

  • Clean indoor sports shoes with non-slip soles (not used outdoors)

  • A water bottle to stay hydrated during the session

  • A towel and shower gel if you wish to use the shower after the session

  • If anything specific is required (e.g., tape, brace, or special equipment), your physiotherapist will let you know in advance.
