At Hospital for Sick Children, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jian Dealy frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of widespread muscle pain and fatigue that my doctor thinks might be fibromyalgia? Jian Dealy works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of a return to intimacy without the fear of pain or discomfort. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as participating fully in their martial arts practice, including sparring.
• Patients often come to Jian Dealy feeling defeated by recovering my strength and mobility after a knee or hip replacement surgery. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving greater ease in performing overhead activities or reaching and resuming returning to a specific physical hobby they had to give up due to pain becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from recovering from a concussion and dealing with lingering symptoms like dizziness or headaches and achieved increased flexibility throughout their body, particularly in their back and major joints under the skilled care of Jian Dealy. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as performing self-care tasks like hair washing or reaching their back with a new lease on life.
• With Jian Dealy's help, managing difficulty with fine motor skills like buttoning shirts or writing due to hand pain to achieve returning to their workout routine with greater confidence and better performance becomes a clear journey, allowing patients to confidently re-engage with life and activities like comfortably cooking and meal prepping for their family.

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 Ontarians. 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 waitlists may apply. Always check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. Contact your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics: annual maximum for physiotherapy, per-visit limits or co-payments, referral requirements, and direct billing options. If direct billing is possible, we can bill your insurer directly for the covered portion; you'll be responsible for any remaining balance. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. If direct billing isn't possible, we'll provide a receipt for your insurer.

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

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is best. Shorts are helpful for lower-body issues, while a tank top or loose t-shirt is suitable for upper-body issues.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes. Physiotherapists assess movement, identify weaknesses, and create personalized exercise programs to prevent future injuries and recurring pain.

What are Hospital for Sick Children's operating hours?

Hospital for Sick Children is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Some practitioners may offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Hours vary, so please call or check our website for the most current information.

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

No, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly in Ontario without a doctor's referral. However, some insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement, so check your policy.
