• Through personalized physiotherapy at Keagan Keung's clinic, common concerns like dealing with ongoing pain and stiffness after a car accident, like whiplash are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of running their usual distance comfortably and with improved form. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like peacefully paddling their kayak or canoe on the lake for hours.
• Tired of trying to stay as mobile and active as possible while living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) interfering with managing their personal care routines independently?

• Many find that that 'arthritic' pain in my hands, hips, or knees significantly impacts their ability to attending their favorite yoga and pilates classes without limitation.

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

In Ontario, you typically do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. This is known as direct access. However, even though a referral isn't legally required to book an appointment, some extended health insurance plans may require one for coverage. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to confirm their specific requirements for physiotherapy coverage.

Does Lifemark Physiotherapy Unionville Gate offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Lifemark Physiotherapy Unionville Gate offers direct billing for most major private insurance companies such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, and Blue Cross. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. However, please remember to 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 of the cost not covered by your insurance.

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

Physiotherapy services in private clinics are generally not covered by OHIP. OHIP may cover physiotherapy in specific circumstances, such as after a hospital stay for certain conditions, or for eligible children, youth, and seniors through specific programs. However, eligibility criteria are strict, and there may be waitlists. Most people receive physiotherapy in private clinics and use their private or extended health insurance coverage. It is essential to check your private insurance plan for coverage details and eligibility requirements.

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.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

To make your first appointment as smooth and productive as possible, please consider bringing: your health card, any doctor's referral letter (if applicable), results or reports of any imaging tests (X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs) related to your current condition, a list of any medications you are currently taking, and your extended health benefits information (insurance card/policy number) for direct billing if available at our clinic. Wearing comfortable clothes is also a good idea.
