Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics for most Ontarians. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization for certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility criteria are strict and there may be waitlists. Always check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics. Verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in ON?

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral (direct access). However, some private/extended health insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your initial appointment involves a comprehensive assessment. Your Physiotherapist will discuss your medical history, symptoms, concerns, and goals. A physical examination will follow, evaluating range of motion, strength, posture, and balance. Based on this, your therapist will provide a clinical impression, discuss a treatment plan, and may begin initial treatment or provide a home exercise program.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated and permits free movement. Shorts are ideal for lower body, and a tank top or loose t-shirt works well for upper body. Athletic wear is a good choice.
