• The path to recovery from dealing with pelvic pain or bladder/bowel control issues (for both men and women) and achieving restoring normal movement patterns essential for everyday tasks for performing tasks requiring fine motor skills and dexterity with ease often starts with expert guidance. Sebastian Wozniak, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• With Sebastian Wozniak's help, managing pain and difficulty with overhead movements like reaching into a cupboard to achieve a significant improvement in their overall quality of life and daily well-being becomes a clear journey, allowing patients to confidently re-engage with life and activities like enduring their daily commute, whether driving or on public transit, without stiffness.
• Physiotherapy with Sebastian Wozniak can be a transformative turning point for those affected by that nagging tennis elbow (or golfer's elbow) that flares up with activity.

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.

What is Sebastian Wozniak, Physiotherapist'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 who may be waiting for care. A fee may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

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 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. It is strongly recommended that you check your private insurance coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

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

Some temporary post-treatment soreness can be normal, much like after a good workout. However, if your pain significantly worsens, if you develop new concerning symptoms, or if the discomfort doesn't settle down within a day or two, please call us. Your Physiotherapist would want to know so they can offer guidance and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan. Open communication is key to your successful recovery.
