At Quinte Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation Specialists, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jillian Pascoe frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Are you finding that general muscle strains and pulls from overdoing it at the gym or in the garden stops you from enjoying playing their musical instrument (guitar, piano, violin, etc.) for extended periods? Jillian Pascoe is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve achieving their specific mobility goals, whether big or small through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
• Don't let knee pain, especially when going up/down stairs or after a run dictate what you can and cannot do.

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

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is best for your physiotherapy appointment – think about what you might wear to a gym or for light exercise. If you're being treated for a lower-body issue (like hip or knee pain), shorts are very helpful. For upper-body issues (like shoulder or neck pain), a tank top or loose t-shirt is suitable so the Physiotherapist can properly examine and treat the area.

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 reimbursement of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.

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

OHIP generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations, such as post-hospitalization for certain conditions or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams, but eligibility criteria are strict and waitlists may exist.
