Wearing comfortable clothes is also a good idea.

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

The Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services provided in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available through specific programs, such as post-hospitalization for certain conditions or for specific populations (children/youth, seniors) via Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams, but eligibility criteria are strict and there may be waitlists. Most people will need to rely on their private or extended health insurance plans for coverage of physiotherapy services in private clinics. It's essential to check your private insurance policy for details on coverage.
