Rehabilitation physician consultation

What does a rehabilitation physician do?

A rehabilitation physician assesses the patient’s health, mobility, ability to carry out daily activities, and rehabilitation needs. During the consultation, the physician determines which treatment will best help restore or maintain the patient’s independence in everyday life and quality of life.

If necessary, the physician develops a treatment plan and refers the patient to appropriate rehabilitation services, such as physiotherapy, therapeutic exercise or massage.

When should you see a rehabilitation physician?

You should consider seeing a rehabilitation physician if an illness, injury, surgery or another health problem has reduced your mobility or ability to carry out daily activities, making everyday life more difficult.

You may benefit from a consultation:

• If you have joint or muscle problems
• After an injury or surgery
• If your mobility or ability to carry out daily activities has declined
• If a chronic illness has affected your physical functioning
• If you need an assessment of your rehabilitation needs or a plan for further treatment

The physician carries out a comprehensive assessment and recommends suitable rehabilitation based on your health, needs and treatment goals.

How can you access a consultation?

You can see a rehabilitation physician with a referral from your family doctor or a specialist.

Paid consultations are also available if you:

• Do not have a referral
• Do not have valid health insurance
