Dena Sports Physio

Work Injury Rehabilitation (CNESST)

If you were injured at work, Dena Sports Physio can treat you as a registered CNESST provider. When your claim is accepted, we bill the CNESST directly for covered treatment — you do not pay at the clinic. Our physiotherapists and occupational therapist work toward one goal: getting you back to your job safely and durably.

How it works

Physiotherapy and occupational therapy for a work injury are generally prescribed by the physician who follows your file. Bring the documents below to your first visit; if you are missing something, call us and we will tell you what is needed.

  • Your CNESST claim number (or the date of the event if the claim is in progress)
  • The medical prescription or report from your treating physician
  • Your employer's name and contact information
  • Any imaging reports or surgeon's instructions

Rehabilitation focused on your job

We start from the physical demands of your work — lifting, standing, repetitive tasks, driving — and build the treatment around them. Progress reports keep your physician and the CNESST informed.

When needed, our occupational therapist can assess your capacity to perform work tasks, recommend adaptations and support a gradual return to work in collaboration with your employer.

What to expect at your first visit

  1. Call or request an appointment and mention that it is a CNESST file.
  2. Bring your claim number and medical prescription to the first visit.
  3. Assessment and treatment plan aligned with your job demands.
  4. Treatment, progress reports and a planned return to work.

Coverage and billing

When the CNESST accepts your claim, covered physiotherapy and occupational therapy are billed directly to the CNESST. If your claim is still being reviewed, we explain your options before treatment begins so there are no surprises. More about insurance

Frequently asked questions

Do I pay anything for CNESST treatment?

For treatment covered by an accepted CNESST claim, we bill the CNESST directly and you do not pay at the clinic.

My claim has not been accepted yet. Can I start?

Yes, in many cases. Call us: we will explain how billing works while your claim is being reviewed and what happens if it is refused.

Do I need a prescription?

For CNESST files, physiotherapy and occupational therapy are generally prescribed by the physician who follows you. Bring the prescription or medical report to your first visit.

Can I choose my clinic?

Yes. As a worker you can choose where you receive treatment, as long as the clinic can provide the prescribed care. Dena Sports Physio is a registered CNESST provider at both locations.

Do you communicate with my employer?

Only as needed for your file and your return to work, and within the rules that protect your personal information.
