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

• Physiotherapy with Peyman Cham can be a transformative turning point for those affected by post-operative stiffness and weakness that's slowing down my recovery. The shared goal is achieving a noticeable reduction in daily discomfort, making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable, paving the way for you to enjoy getting back to their regular, consistent gym workouts and a more active, vibrant life.
• Tired of that burning pain between my shoulder blades from too much computer work interfering with handling their job that involves frequent standing, walking, or bending? Peyman Cham uses a blend of physiotherapy techniques to help you achieve improved breathing mechanics and capacity through postural correction and regain your freedom of movement.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from feeling 'off-balance' and worried about falling, especially as I get older and achieved improved coordination for complex movements and fine motor tasks under the skilled care of Peyman Cham. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as actively participating in family outings and vacations without holding others back with a new lease on life.
• Living with recovering my strength and mobility after a knee or hip replacement surgery doesn't have to be your norm. Peyman Cham applies expert physiotherapy knowledge to work towards moving more freely and with greater agility than they have in years, so you can get back to the simple pleasure of shoveling snow or raking leaves without aggravating their back.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Peyman Cham, 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. This is known as direct access. However, some private/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 provided in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in certain situations, such as post-hospitalization for specific conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams. Eligibility criteria are strict, and waitlists may exist. Check your private insurance coverage as many plans offer significant coverage for physiotherapy in private clinics.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly before your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics. Key details to check include your annual maximum for physiotherapy, per-visit limits or co-payments, whether a doctor's referral is needed for reimbursement, and if your plan allows direct billing by the clinic. If Osteoathletic offers direct billing and your plan permits it, we can bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You would then be responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your first appointment. If direct billing isn't possible, we'll provide a receipt for submission to your insurer.

Is there parking available at or near Osteoathletic?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for the designated patient spots.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, in almost all cases, you will receive a customized home exercise program. These exercises are carefully chosen by your Physiotherapist to specifically target your issues and help you achieve your functional goals faster and more effectively. Performing them as recommended is very important for your progress and for maintaining the improvements you make during your clinic visits.
