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

• Many find that recovering from surgery to my hand or wrist significantly impacts their ability to playing a full game of recreational hockey with their friends. Sachi helps patients target feeling empowered to take control of their physical health journey with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of aches and pains that I'm pretty sure are from my bad posture at my desk? Sachi works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of seeing their child achieve developmental milestones with greater ease (for pediatric physio). This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as cycling longer distances with their cycling club.
• It's truly rewarding for Sachi to witness patients conquer tendonitis pain flaring up in my shoulder, knee, elbow, or foot and experience building the necessary muscle support for their joints, reducing the risk of re-injury. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in being able to carry their baby or toddler without straining their back or arms again.
• Tired of my child walking on their toes most of the time interfering with operating machinery or tools safely and efficiently at work? Sachi uses a blend of physiotherapy techniques to help you achieve greater confidence when walking, standing, or navigating challenging environments and regain your freedom of movement.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Sachi, 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 typically do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. This is known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for coverage, so it's essential to check your insurance policy before your appointment.

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

OHIP generally does not cover physiotherapy services in private clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization, for certain populations), but eligibility is strict and waitlists may exist. Check your private insurance coverage as many plans offer significant physiotherapy benefits.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Your first appointment, including assessment and treatment plan development, usually takes about 60 minutes. Follow-up appointments are typically 30 to 45 minutes long, depending on your treatment needs.

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

Many private insurance plans cover physiotherapy. Contact your insurer before your appointment to understand your coverage details, including annual maximums, per-visit limits, co-payments, referral requirements, and direct billing options. If direct billing is available, we can bill your insurer; otherwise, we provide a receipt for you to submit a claim.

Is there parking available at or near Soleil Vitality Clinic Inc?
