Life Moves Better When You Do

No, you do not need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist in Alberta, as they are primary healthcare providers. However, some private insurance providers may require a referral to process your claim. At Dynamic Physiotherapy, we provide direct billing for most major insurance companies to simplify your recovery.

Your initial assessment involves a comprehensive review of your medical history and a physical examination of your movement, strength, and joint function. Our Okotoks therapists will then create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific recovery goals. We prioritize clear communication so you understand exactly how we will help you return to pain-free activity.

Yes, we offer direct billing to most major extended health care providers, including Blue Cross, Sun Life, and Canada Life. This reduces your out-of-pocket expenses and eliminates the paperwork headache. Our administrative team in Okotoks is happy to check your coverage during your first visit.

The number of sessions depends on the severity of your injury, your overall health, and how closely you follow your home exercise program. Acute injuries may resolve in 3–6 visits, while chronic conditions might require longer-term management. We focus on efficient, evidence-based care to get you back to your routine as quickly as safely possible.

While both use similar needles, IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation) focuses on releasing "shortened" muscles that cause chronic pain and nerve irritation, whereas Traditional Chinese Acupuncture focuses on energy flow (Qi) and meridians. Our Okotoks IMS specialists use this technique to target deep muscle tissue and reset the nervous system.

Shockwave Therapy is one of the most effective non-invasive treatments for chronic Plantar Fasciitis and Tendonitis. It uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate blood flow and trigger the body’s natural healing response in stubborn tissues. We offer Shockwave Therapy in our Okotoks clinic for patients who haven't found relief through traditional stretching alone.

Yes, through Vestibular Rehabilitation, we can treat common causes of dizziness such as BPPV (vertigo). Our therapists use specific head maneuvers and balance exercises to "reset" the inner ear system. Many patients in Okotoks experience significant relief after just one or two specialized sessions.

Yes, Dynamic Physiotherapy is an authorized provider for both WCB Alberta and MVA insurance claims. If you've been injured at work or in a car accident in the Okotoks area, we can help you navigate the claim process and begin your rehabilitation immediately to ensure a documented recovery.

Physiotherapy focuses on diagnosing and treating the root cause of movement dysfunction through exercise, manual therapy, and education.
