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, while 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 to understand their specific requirements before your first appointment.

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.

What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Inner Strength Physiotherapy treat?

Physiotherapists at Inner Strength Physiotherapy treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, back and neck pain, joint problems (such as arthritis or post-surgical recovery), sports injuries, and nerve pain. We also offer specialized services in orthopedic and musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Treatments often involve manual therapy, exercise prescription, and modalities such as Spinal Decompression and Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT).

What are Inner Strength Physiotherapy's operating hours?

However, hours can vary, so please call the clinic or check their website for the most up-to-date information and practitioner availability.

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

OHIP generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available through specific programs (e.g., post-hospitalization for certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility criteria are strict. Most people will need to rely on private insurance or pay out-of-pocket for physiotherapy services in a private clinic. Always check your private insurance coverage details.

Does Inner Strength Physiotherapy offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Inner Strength Physiotherapy provides detailed receipts that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please bring your insurance information to your appointment. Always verify your coverage with your insurance provider before your appointment.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, a personalized home exercise program is a crucial part 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.
