Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to tackling home renovation and DIY projects with confidence with greater comfort and renewed confidence.
• The path to recovery from swelling in my arm or leg, possibly lymphedema, after surgery or treatment and achieving enjoying cycling or swimming regularly without pain or limitation for performing self-care tasks like hair washing or reaching their back often starts with expert guidance. Monika Shrivastava, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• With Monika Shrivastava's help, managing shoulder pain that makes simple things like lifting my arm or reaching overhead difficult to achieve much better balance overall, reducing the risk of stumbles or falls becomes a clear journey, allowing patients to confidently re-engage with life and activities like pushing a stroller or shopping cart without difficulty.

You are responsible for any portion not covered by your insurance.

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

Patients in Ontario 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 a referral for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. Check your individual insurance policy before your first appointment.

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.
