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

In Ontario, you typically do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. This is known as direct access. However, while a referral isn't legally required for *access* to physiotherapy services, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider to understand their specific requirements before your first appointment.
