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

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

Physiotherapy should not be painful. While you may experience some discomfort or stretching sensations, especially initially, your physiotherapist will work with you to manage this and ensure your comfort. The goal is to improve your condition, not cause you further pain.

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

Wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement and access to the area being treated. For example, shorts for knee problems or a sleeveless top for shoulder issues.

Yes, a home exercise program is a key part of most physiotherapy treatment plans. Your physiotherapist will design a program tailored to your needs to help you manage your symptoms and accelerate your recovery.

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

OHIP generally does not cover physiotherapy services in private clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in certain situations (e.g., post-hospitalization) but eligibility is restricted, and waitlists may apply. Check your private insurance coverage as many plans offer significant coverage for physiotherapy services.

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

Bring your health card, any referral letters, and relevant medical reports or images. If you have private insurance, bring your insurance card or details.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your first appointment will involve a thorough assessment including a discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and goals, followed by a physical examination. Your physiotherapist will then explain their findings, discuss treatment goals, and outline a plan of care.
