At Evolution Physiotherapy, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Fozy Jose frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• The path to recovery from swelling in my arm or leg, possibly lymphedema, after surgery or treatment and achieving regaining full function in an injured area, enabling a return to cherished activities for getting on and off the floor with ease often starts with expert guidance. Fozy Jose, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• Fozy Jose believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If pain or weakness that's stopping me from enjoying my favorite hobbies is hindering your ability to driving for longer periods without neck or back pain, a personalized plan focusing on running their usual distance comfortably and with improved form can make all the difference.
• Many find that trying to get back to my best after a frustrating sports injury significantly impacts their ability to maintaining an upright posture while working on their computer for hours. Fozy Jose helps patients target improved hand and wrist function for tasks requiring dexterity with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Physiotherapy with Fozy Jose can be a transformative turning point for those affected by pain in my shins when I try to run or be active (shin splints).

Is there parking available at or near Evolution Physiotherapy?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for the designated patient spots.

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

For your first visit, please bring your provincial health card (e.g., Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) card, if applicable for any publicly funded programs or simply for identification), any relevant medical information such as a doctor's referral note (if you have one), reports from recent imaging (like X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound scans), and a list of your current medications. Also, if you plan to use private health insurance, bring your insurance card or policy details. Finally, wear or bring comfortable clothing suitable for assessment and movement.

What is Evolution Physiotherapy's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee equivalent to 50% of the service cost may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments (no-shows) without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to 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 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 plan, 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.
