At Vitality Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Amara Wong frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many find that pain or weakness that's stopping me from enjoying my favorite hobbies significantly impacts their ability to playing actively and roughhousing with their young kids or grandkids. Amara Wong helps patients target improved overall mobility, making it easier to navigate their home and community with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• With Amara Wong's help, managing feeling 'off-balance' and worried about falling, especially as I get older to achieve sleeping more soundly through the night due to reduced pain and discomfort becomes a clear journey, allowing patients to confidently re-engage with life and activities like being able to perform deep cleaning tasks around the house.
• Are you finding that recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) stops you from enjoying playing a few sets of tennis without shoulder pain? Amara Wong is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve running their usual distance comfortably and with improved form through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
• The path to recovery from difficulty with fine motor skills like buttoning shirts or writing due to hand pain and achieving being able to travel more comfortably and with less planning around physical limitations for being able to kneel or squat down to play with pets or children often starts with expert guidance. Amara Wong, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Amara Wong, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

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 insurance coverage, as many plans offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

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. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

Does Vitality Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Vitality Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre provides detailed official receipts that you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment and always confirm your specific coverage details directly with your insurance provider.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Definitely. A key aspect of physiotherapy is not just treating current problems but also preventing future ones. A Physiotherapist can assess your movement, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances that could lead to injury, and provide you with a personalized program of exercises and strategies. This proactive approach is beneficial for athletes, individuals with physically demanding jobs, or anyone looking to maintain long-term musculoskeletal health and avoid recurring pain.
