• Fabian believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If aches and pains that I'm pretty sure are from my bad posture at my desk is hindering your ability to performing self-care tasks like hair washing or reaching their back, a personalized plan focusing on waking up feeling more refreshed with considerably less pain and stiffness can make all the difference.
• Many find that an awkward gait or limping when I walk significantly impacts their ability to maintaining their balance and stability while walking on uneven ground or trails. Fabian helps patients target improved hand and wrist function for tasks requiring dexterity with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Patients often come to Fabian feeling defeated by soreness and tightness in my Achilles tendon, especially after exercise. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving regaining full function in an injured area, enabling a return to cherished activities and resuming sitting comfortably through a movie at the cinema or a play becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• Physiotherapy with Fabian can be a transformative turning point for those affected by working on getting back to normal after a fracture or other surgery.

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.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Initial assessment appointments are generally longer to allow for a thorough evaluation and discussion, typically lasting between 45 to 60 minutes. Subsequent follow-up treatment sessions are usually shorter, often ranging from 30 to 45 minutes. However, the duration can vary depending on your specific needs, the complexity of your condition, the type of treatment being provided, and the treatment plan designed by your Physiotherapist.

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.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, a personalized home exercise program is a crucial and integral component of most physiotherapy treatment plans. Your Physiotherapist will prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition, abilities, and goals. These exercises are designed to complement your in-clinic treatment, help you manage your symptoms effectively between sessions, accelerate your recovery, and empower you with tools for long-term self-management.
