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?

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral. This is known as direct access. However, even though a referral isn't legally required to see a Physiotherapist, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.

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

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services provided in private outpatient clinics for most Ontarians. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in certain situations, such as post-hospitalization for specific conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams. However, eligibility criteria are strict and waitlists may apply. It is essential to verify your eligibility directly with OHIP and to check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your first appointment will begin with a thorough assessment. You will discuss your concerns, medical history, and goals with Erin Miller. Then, Erin Miller will conduct physical tests to evaluate your movement, strength, and any areas of pain or limitation. The goal is to fully understand your condition to create a personalized treatment plan. You may also receive initial exercises or hands-on treatment.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes, absolutely! Physiotherapy is very effective in injury prevention and managing recurring pain. Erin Miller can identify risk factors like muscle imbalances, poor posture, or movement patterns. By addressing these through exercise, education, and ergonomic advice, physiotherapy can reduce your risk of injury and help manage chronic conditions.

What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Credit Valley Hospital treat?

Physiotherapists at Credit Valley Hospital treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, back and neck pain, joint problems (arthritis, post-surgical recovery), sports injuries, and nerve pain.
