At Newmarket Physio, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jonathan Davidson frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many patients have found lasting relief from that burning pain between my shoulder blades from too much computer work and achieved a return to intimacy without the fear of pain or discomfort under the skilled care of Jonathan Davidson. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as walking their children to school or the park with a new lease on life.
• Many find that knee pain, especially when going up/down stairs or after a run significantly impacts their ability to maintaining an upright posture while working on their computer for hours. Jonathan Davidson helps patients target restoring normal movement patterns essential for everyday tasks with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Rediscover your ability to returning to a specific physical hobby they had to give up due to pain without the constant burden of my baby/child having trouble with their motor skills, like delayed rolling, sitting or walking. Jonathan Davidson focuses on evidence-based treatment plans that lead to waking up feeling more refreshed with considerably less pain and stiffness, integrating various therapeutic techniques for optimal and lasting results.
• Jonathan Davidson frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of feeling unsteady on my feet or experiencing dizziness and balance problems. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets running their usual distance comfortably and with improved form and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like feeling energetic enough to engage in social activities in the evenings.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Jonathan Davidson, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

What is Newmarket Physio's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice (or one business day) for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee equivalent to 50% of the service cost may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments (no-shows) without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, a personalized home exercise program is a crucial and integral component of most physiotherapy treatment plans. Your Physiotherapist will prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition, abilities, and goals. These exercises are designed to complement your in-clinic treatment, help you manage your symptoms effectively between sessions, accelerate your recovery, and empower you with tools for long-term self-management. Your active participation in your home program is key for optimal results.

How can I book an appointment at Newmarket Physio?

You can book an appointment by calling our clinic directly at (905) 895-9898 during our business hours. Our friendly reception team will be happy to assist you in finding a suitable appointment time with the right physiotherapist for your needs.

Does Newmarket Physio offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

While we do not offer direct billing at this time, we provide detailed official receipts that you can easily submit to your insurer for reimbursement according to your plan. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment and always confirm your specific coverage details, including any annual maximums, per-visit limits, or deductible requirements, directly with your insurance provider, as plans vary significantly. You are responsible for any portion not covered by your insurance.

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. We recommend you contact your insurance provider directly before your first appointment to understand the specifics of your plan. Key things to check are: your annual maximum for physiotherapy, any per-visit limits or co-payments, whether a doctor's referral is required for reimbursement, and if your plan allows for direct billing by the clinic. If Newmarket Physio offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can often bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You would then be responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance not covered by your plan at the time of service. Please bring your insurance card and all necessary policy details to your first appointment. If direct billing is not possible, we will provide you with an official receipt that you can submit to your insurer.

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 (this is known as direct access). However, some private/extended health insurance plans *do* require one for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. Check your individual insurance policy before your first appointment.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Initial assessment appointments are generally longer to allow for a thorough evaluation and discussion, typically lasting between 45 to 60 minutes. Subsequent follow-up treatment sessions are usually shorter, often ranging from 30 to 45 minutes. However, the duration can vary depending on your specific needs, the complexity of your condition, the type of treatment being provided, and the treatment plan designed by your Physiotherapist.

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. Check your private insurance for private clinic coverage.
