At RMT Movement, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Neha frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Rediscover your ability to sleeping soundly through the night without being woken by pain or discomfort without the constant burden of recovering from a painful and limiting work-related injury (WCB/CNESST/WorkSafe claim). Neha focuses on evidence-based treatment plans that lead to being able to play actively with their children or grandchildren again, integrating various therapeutic techniques for optimal and lasting results.
• The path to recovery from an old ankle sprain that never seems to fully heal and still feels weak and achieving decreased frequency and intensity of headaches related to neck or postural issues for using garden tools effectively and without pain often starts with expert guidance. Neha, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• Physiotherapy with Neha can be a transformative turning point for those affected by loss of strength in one of my limbs after an injury. The shared goal is achieving a noticeable improvement in their gait and walking efficiency, paving the way for you to enjoy setting up and taking down equipment for hobbies or sports and a more active, vibrant life.
• Many find that an awkward gait or limping when I walk significantly impacts their ability to walking their children to school or the park. Neha helps patients target developing better body awareness and understanding of healthy movement patterns with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Neha, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

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. However, while a referral isn't legally required to see a Physiotherapist, some private/extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your appointment.

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

It's helpful to bring your health card, any referral letters, and any reports or images from relevant medical tests (X-rays, MRIs, etc.). If you have private insurance, bring your insurance card. Comfortable clothing is also recommended.

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 (e.g., post-hospitalization), but eligibility is strict. Check your private insurance for coverage.
