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 of the population. 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 plans, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy, delivered by a qualified Physiotherapist, is a science-based profession that focuses on restoring movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness, or disability. It can also help to reduce your risk of future problems. Your physiotherapist will use techniques such as therapeutic exercise, manual therapy (hands-on treatment), education, and advice, empowering you to manage your health independently and achieve your physical goals.

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

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

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 insurance provider before your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics. Key things to check are: your annual maximum for physiotherapy, any per-visit limits or co-payments, whether a doctor's referral is required for reimbursement, and if your plan allows for direct billing by the clinic. If direct billing is possible, we can bill your insurer directly for the covered portion; you would be responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your first appointment. If direct billing is not possible, we will provide you with an official receipt to submit to your insurer.

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 thorough physical examination, evaluating your range of motion, strength, posture, balance, and movement patterns. Your therapist will provide a clinical impression or diagnosis, discuss a treatment plan, and often begin initial treatment or provide education and a home exercise program.

What are Healing Touch Rehabilitation Centre's operating hours?

Healing Touch Rehabilitation Centre is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and some practitioners offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Hours can vary, so please call the office or check our website for current hours and availability.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

Some techniques might feel uncomfortable or cause temporary soreness, but treatment should not be excessively painful. Your Physiotherapist will discuss sensations and adjust techniques to ensure your comfort while achieving therapeutic benefits. Communication about your comfort level is important.
