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

• The path to recovery from feeling like my joints are just 'wearing out' and getting harder to move and achieving a significantly reduced risk of falling, enhancing safety and independence for shoveling snow or raking leaves without aggravating their back often starts with expert guidance. Ryan, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• Patients often come to Ryan feeling defeated by needing to improve my breathing patterns or lung capacity. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving better managing flare-ups with personalized strategies and feeling more in control of their symptoms and resuming managing their personal care routines independently becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• At Ryan's physiotherapy practice, individuals with needing help to get moving again after a long period of illness or inactivity are guided towards experiencing significant pain relief, allowing for a more comfortable daily life. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as getting back to cycling for leisure or commuting.
• The journey to a significant improvement in their overall quality of life and daily well-being when faced with persistent one leg feeling shorter than the other, causing hip or back pain is made smoother and more effective with Ryan's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like taking group exercise classes at the community center.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Ryan, 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 physician's referral (direct access). However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

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

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics for most of the population. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization for certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility criteria are strict and there may be waitlists. Check your private insurance for private clinic coverage.

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. Contact your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics: annual maximum, per-visit limits, co-payments, referral requirements, and direct billing options. If iMove Clinic offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can bill your insurer directly. Otherwise, we will provide a receipt for you to submit.

What is iMove Clinic's appointment cancellation policy?

We request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. A fee may be charged for late cancellations or missed appointments.
