No Referral Required
Physiotherapists are primary health care practitioners, so referral is not required.
Some extended health insurance companies require a referral, however, and these are typically issued by your family doctor, nurse practitioner or orthopaedic surgeon.

Kathy Walmsley
In 2013, I returned to Hanover after being away for 30 years. I required the help of a physiotherapist at that time, so my first exposure to Hanover Physiotherapy & Sports Rehabilitation was simply as a patient in need. I was so pleased with the remarkable service and nurturing care, that I now have joined this caring team as a front-line greeter, receptionist and administrative assistant.
Tracey McKay
Tracey McKay has brought over 14 years’ experience working in the physiotherapy private sector before joining Leanne Hampton in the start up of Hanover Physiotherapy and Sport Rehabilitation. Tracey has been well known for her participation in all kinds of sports, but her passion has always been competitive women’s fastball.
