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.

Canadian physiotherapists most commonly treat IT band syndrome, patellofemoral pain (runner's knee), plantar fasciitis, shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome), Achilles tendinopathy, hip flexor strains, and tibial stress fractures. Most running injuries result from too-rapid training load increases rather than acute trauma, making load management a core part of every treatment plan.

Recovery depends on the specific injury. Mild IT band syndrome and shin splints typically resolve in 4–6 weeks. Plantar fasciitis often takes 6–12 weeks. Achilles tendinopathy and stress fractures may require 8–16 weeks or longer. Most running injuries improve faster when addressed early — don't train through pain hoping it will resolve.
