Common Musculoskeletal

  • Musculoskeletal Injuries (General - Tendinitis, Bursitis, Capsulitis, Sprains, Strains): Damage to the body's movement system, including issues like joint inflammation, ligament tears, or muscle overstretching, often requiring physiotherapy for optimal recovery.
  • Hip Pain (e.g., Bursitis, Muscle Strains, Labral Issues - conservative): Pain affecting the hip joint and surrounding musculature, which can limit activities like walking, standing for long periods, rising from a chair, or lying on the affected side.
  • Neck Pain and Stiffness: Neck problems that interfere with your sleep quality, ability to work comfortably (especially at a desk), or perform everyday tasks without pain.

Frequently Asked Questions about Physiotherapy in Kitchener

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
It's difficult to say exactly how many sessions you'll need without a thorough assessment, as everyone's situation and recovery path is unique. Some acute conditions might resolve in just a few sessions, while more chronic, complex, or significant issues may require a longer period of care to achieve lasting results. Your Physiotherapist will provide an estimated treatment timeline and plan after your first visit, and this will be revisited as your treatment progresses.
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 insurance plans may require a referral for coverage, so check your policy before your appointment.
Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?
Definitely. Physiotherapy helps prevent future injuries by assessing movement, identifying weaknesses, and providing personalized exercise programs. This is beneficial for athletes, those with physically demanding jobs, or anyone wanting to maintain long-term musculoskeletal health.
I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?
Many private insurance plans cover physiotherapy. Contact your provider before your appointment to understand your coverage: annual maximums, per-visit limits, co-payments, referral requirements, and direct billing options. If A Body in Motion Rehabilitation offers direct billing and your plan allows it, they can bill your insurer. Otherwise, you'll receive a receipt for submission. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment.
Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
OHIP generally does not cover physiotherapy in private clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization, for certain demographics) but eligibility is strict. Check your private insurance for coverage.
Does A Body in Motion Rehabilitation offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
Please contact A Body in Motion Rehabilitation directly to inquire about their direct billing capabilities with private insurance companies. It is always recommended to confirm your specific coverage details with your insurance provider before your appointment.
