At Fowler Kennedy South Clinic, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jaclyn Viehweger frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of that nagging tennis elbow (or golfer's elbow) that flares up with activity? Jaclyn Viehweger works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of a more comfortable and physically manageable pregnancy experience. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as joining in on pickup basketball games at the local court.
• Tired of trying to get back to my best after a frustrating sports injury interfering with getting on and off the floor with ease? Jaclyn Viehweger uses a blend of physiotherapy techniques to help you achieve feeling more positive, capable, and optimistic about their physical health and regain your freedom of movement.
• Patients often come to Jaclyn Viehweger feeling defeated by experiencing discomfort, back pain, or pelvic girdle pain during or after pregnancy.

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. It is strongly advised to check your private insurance for private clinic coverage and to verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).

What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Fowler Kennedy South Clinic treat?

Physiotherapists at Fowler Kennedy South Clinic treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, issues like back and neck pain, joint problems (such as arthritis or post-surgical recovery), sports injuries (including concussion), and nerve pain.

Our treatments often involve manual therapy, electrotherapy, and patient education to help you achieve your functional goals.

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.

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 of physiotherapy services. Check your individual insurance policy before your first appointment.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Absolutely! Home exercises are a vital part of your rehabilitation journey. Your Physiotherapist will select and teach you exercises specific to your needs to reinforce in-clinic work, manage your condition, and ensure continued progress.

Does Fowler Kennedy South Clinic offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Please contact the clinic directly to inquire about their direct billing capabilities with private insurance companies. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. Confirm your coverage details, including annual maximums, per-visit limits, or deductible requirements, with your insurance provider.
