No. Physiotherapists are primary contact practitioners across all Canadian provinces — you can book directly without a physician referral. However, some extended health benefit plans require a referral for reimbursement, so check your policy before booking. WSIB, WCB, and motor vehicle accident claims may also have specific referral requirements.

Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) connecting the heel bone to the toes, causing sharp heel pain especially with the first steps in the morning. Canadian physiotherapists treat it with calf and plantar fascia stretching, intrinsic foot strengthening, manual therapy, and kinesiology tape applied under the arch to unload the fascia.

Most cases of plantar fasciitis improve in 6–12 weeks with consistent physiotherapy. Chronic cases (lasting more than 6 months) can take longer and may require additional interventions like shockwave therapy or corticosteroid injections. Early physiotherapy intervention is associated with faster recovery — don't wait until the pain becomes unbearable.
