Examples include specific joint mobilizations to improve movement, soft tissue release techniques to address muscle tightness or scar tissue, and sometimes manipulations (adjustments) if indicated and appropriate for your condition and your therapist's qualifications.

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 insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your initial appointment is a comprehensive assessment. Your Physiotherapist will discuss your medical history, symptoms, concerns, and goals. This is followed by a physical examination to evaluate your range of motion, strength, posture, balance, and movement patterns. Your therapist will then provide a clinical impression, discuss a treatment plan, and often begin initial treatment or provide a home exercise program.

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), but eligibility is strict. Check your private insurance for coverage.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

Bring your health card, any referral letters, and relevant medical reports or images. If you have private insurance, bring your insurance card or policy details. Wear comfortable clothing.
