• Elham Mozaffari believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best.

Physiotherapy focuses on attaining a return to intimacy without the fear of pain or discomfort, often utilizing targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education to help you regain your previous level of function.

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 individual 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 through specific programs (e.g., post-hospitalization, for certain demographics) with eligibility criteria and potential waitlists. Most people will need to use private insurance or pay out-of-pocket for physiotherapy at a private clinic. Always check your private insurance coverage.

What is PhysioDNA Bloor West'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. A fee may be charged for late cancellations or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

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

It's recommended to wear or bring clothing that allows unrestricted movement and provides easy access for your physiotherapist to examine the body part being assessed or treated. For instance, if you have a knee problem, please wear or bring shorts. For shoulder issues, a sleeveless top or a top with loose armholes is often helpful. The goal is to make the assessment and treatment as effective as possible.

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

Many private health insurance plans offer coverage for physiotherapy. Contact your insurer before your appointment to understand your plan's specifics, including annual maximums, per-visit limits, referral requirements, and direct billing options. If PhysioDNA Bloor West offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can bill your insurer directly. Otherwise, we'll provide a receipt for you to submit to your insurer.
