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 for an appointment, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider to understand their specific requirements before your first appointment.

What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Pro Physio Conroy treat?

Neha Joshi also has expertise in orthopedic and musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Treatment approaches often involve manual therapy, exercise prescription, postural assessment and correction, and patient education to help you achieve your functional goals.

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 in certain situations, such as post-hospitalization for specific conditions or through community physiotherapy clinics, but eligibility criteria are strict and waitlists may apply. Most Ontarians will need to rely on private insurance or pay out-of-pocket for physiotherapy services in private clinics. It is essential to check your private insurance coverage and eligibility for any public programs directly with OHIP.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Initial assessment appointments are generally longer, lasting between 45 to 60 minutes, to allow for a thorough evaluation and discussion. Follow-up appointments are usually shorter, ranging from 30 to 45 minutes. The duration may vary depending on individual needs and the complexity of your condition.

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

Some temporary soreness or a mild increase in symptoms after physiotherapy is common, especially initially. However, if you experience significant or sharp pain increases, new or worsening neurological symptoms (numbness, tingling, weakness), or prolonged soreness, contact Pro Physio Conroy immediately. They can advise, adjust your treatment plan, or arrange for a reassessment.
