• Many find that needing help to get moving again after a long period of illness or inactivity significantly impacts their ability to participating in community events and social gatherings more actively. Myriam Garabedian helps patients target improved joint health and a slowing of degenerative processes through better biomechanics with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• If an old ankle sprain that never seems to fully heal and still feels weak is preventing you from fully enjoying enduring their daily commute, whether driving or on public transit, without stiffness, Myriam Garabedian offers expert guidance and tailored treatment.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Initial assessment appointments are generally longer to allow for a thorough evaluation and discussion, typically lasting between 45 to 60 minutes. Subsequent follow-up treatment sessions are usually shorter, often ranging from 30 to 45 minutes. However, the duration can vary depending on your specific needs, the complexity of your condition, the type of treatment being provided, and the treatment plan designed by your Physiotherapist.

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

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral. This is known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.

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

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations, such as post-hospitalization for certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams. Eligibility criteria are strict, and waitlists may exist. It's essential to check your private insurance coverage as many plans offer significant coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.
