At CBI Health, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Avni Parmar frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many individuals seek help from Avni Parmar, their physiotherapist, when that 'arthritic' pain in my hands, hips, or knees starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve a deeper understanding of their condition and how to manage it proactively for long-term well-being, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like setting up and taking down equipment for hobbies or sports.
• Are you finding that frequent headaches that seem to start from tension in my neck or shoulders stops you from enjoying maintaining their balance and stability while walking on uneven ground or trails? Avni Parmar is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve being able to play actively with their children or grandchildren again through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
• Patients struggling with my infant having a tilted head or a flat spot on their head (torticollis/plagiocephaly) can find dedicated and compassionate support from Avni Parmar. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving a renewed sense of vitality and enthusiasm for daily activities, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as attending and enjoying their children's or grandchildren's sporting events.
• For those whose an old ankle sprain that never seems to fully heal and still feels weak has made managing their personal care routines independently seem like a distant memory, Avni Parmar's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward improved coordination for complex movements and fine motor tasks. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to managing their personal care routines independently with greater comfort and renewed confidence.

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

Is there parking available at or near CBI Health?

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

While some physiotherapy techniques might feel uncomfortable or cause a temporary increase in soreness (similar to muscle soreness after a new workout), especially when working on stiff joints or tight muscles, it should not be excessively or intolerably painful. Your Physiotherapist will discuss what sensations you might expect with different treatments and will always aim to adjust the intensity and techniques to ensure you are as comfortable as possible while still achieving therapeutic benefits. Constant communication about your comfort level is very important.

Does CBI Health offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, CBI Health offers direct billing for most major private insurance companies such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, and Blue Cross. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. Always confirm your specific coverage details, including any annual maximums, per-visit limits, or deductible requirements, directly with your insurance provider, as plans vary significantly. You are responsible for any portion not covered by your insurance.

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

No, you do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist in Ontario. However, some private health insurance plans may require a referral for coverage; check your policy before your appointment.

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

OHIP generally does not cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility is strict. Check your private insurance coverage.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. Contact your insurer before your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics (annual maximum, per-visit limits, co-payments, referral requirements, and direct billing options). If CBI Health offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can bill your insurer directly for the covered portion; you'll be responsible for any remaining balance. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. If direct billing isn't possible, we'll provide a receipt for your insurer.
