About this website Physiocheck.ca - the online physiotherapy check
Physiocheck.ca is an initiative by physiotherapists to meet the growing demand for online information about physical complaints. Our mission is to provide patients with reliable information and to serve as an intermediary between the patient and the physiotherapy practice.
The online physiotherapy check
On Physiocheck.ca, individuals with physiotherapy-related complaints can have their symptoms checked using an interactive physiotherapy check. Where you previously had to search the internet for websites and forums about various physical conditions, it is now possible to do this on a single website through a unique online physio-check.
By answering the questions and performing the tests, symptoms are compared to the most common conditions within physiotherapy. The check gives an indication of the condition(s) you might be dealing with and offers the possibility to directly book an appointment with a physiotherapist in your immediate vicinity.
The information on Physiocheck.ca is based on medical scientific literature and medical guidelines. Physiotherapists and general practitioners actively collaborate in optimizing the check.
Please note: Physiocheck.ca should never be seen as a substitute for a visit to your doctor or physiotherapist. The aim of this website is to give you some understanding of your own symptoms, and to make it easy for you to find a physiotherapist in your area.
Understanding your own symptoms better
By answering the questions in our online physio check, the user is encouraged to think about his/her own physical condition. Where does it hurt? How did the symptoms develop? And which movements or activities cause you to experience the most symptoms? Once the check has been completed, an overview of conditions and injuries that could be the cause of the symptoms is provided immediately.
Well prepared before seeing the physiotherapist
Upon completion of the physio check, Physiocheck.ca offers you the opportunity to make an appointment with a physiotherapist in your area. The personal physio letter contains the most important information from the physiotherapy check and can be taken along to the therapist who will be treating you.
