What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

It's recommended to wear or bring clothing that allows unrestricted movement and provides easy access for your physiotherapist to examine the body part being assessed or treated. For instance, if you have a knee problem, please wear or bring shorts. For shoulder issues, a sleeveless top or a top with loose armholes is often helpful. The goal is to make the assessment and treatment as effective as possible.

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, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for coverage. It is crucial to check with your insurance provider before your appointment to understand their specific requirements for physiotherapy reimbursement.

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

OHIP generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy may be available through specific programs (e.g., post-hospitalization, for certain populations) but eligibility criteria are strict. Check with OHIP directly and your private insurance provider to determine your coverage.

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

It's helpful to bring your health card, any referral letters, and any relevant medical reports or images (X-rays, MRIs, etc.). If you have private insurance, bring your insurance card or policy details. Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement is also recommended.
