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 private or 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 understand their specific requirements for physiotherapy coverage.

What is Trillium Health Partners'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 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 may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

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

Physiotherapy services in private clinics are generally not covered by OHIP. While publicly funded physiotherapy is available through certain programs (e.g., post-hospitalization for specific conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or via Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), eligibility criteria are strict, and waitlists may apply. It's essential to check your private insurance plan, as many offer coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your initial physiotherapy appointment will involve a comprehensive assessment. Meera Wong will discuss your medical history, symptoms, concerns, and goals. A thorough physical examination will follow, evaluating your range of motion, strength, posture, balance, and movement patterns. Based on this, Meera Wong will provide a clinical impression, discuss a personalized treatment plan, and often begin initial treatment or provide a home exercise program.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

Some post-treatment soreness is normal. However, if your pain significantly worsens, you develop new symptoms, or discomfort persists for more than a day or two, please contact the clinic immediately. Meera Wong can assess the situation and make necessary adjustments to your care plan.
