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.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of physiotherapy sessions required varies greatly from person to person. It depends on several factors, including the nature and severity of your condition, how long you've had the issue (acute vs. chronic), your individual treatment goals, your body's unique response to therapy, and how consistently you are able to follow your prescribed home exercise program and self-management advice. Your Physiotherapist will discuss a proposed treatment frequency and estimated duration after your initial assessment and will continually re-evaluate your progress with you.

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 to understand their specific requirements before your first appointment.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Definitely. A key aspect of physiotherapy is preventing future injuries. A Physiotherapist can assess your movement, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances, and create a personalized exercise program to help you maintain long-term musculoskeletal health and avoid recurring pain.

What is Fit Clinic'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. A fee may be charged for cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice or missed appointments. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your first appointment will be a thorough assessment. You'll discuss your issue, its history, and your overall health. Your therapist will perform physical tests to assess your movement and strength. The goal is to understand your condition so a treatment plan can be developed. You may also receive your first set of home exercises or some initial hands-on care.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated and permits free movement. Shorts are ideal for lower body, and a tank top or loose t-shirt for upper body. Athletic wear is a good choice.

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 criteria are strict. Most Ontarians rely on private insurance for coverage of physiotherapy in private clinics. It is strongly recommended that you check your private insurance coverage before your appointment.
