At Restoracare Health, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Zhuo Wei Feng frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• It's truly rewarding for Zhuo Wei Feng to witness patients conquer pain in my shins when I try to run or be active (shin splints) and experience a reduction in nerve-related symptoms like tingling or numbness. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in handling their job that involves frequent standing, walking, or bending again.
• Rediscover your ability to dressing myself independently and without difficulty, including shoes and socks without the constant burden of that 'pins and needles' feeling that won't go away. Zhuo Wei Feng focuses on evidence-based treatment plans that lead to achieving their specific mobility goals, whether big or small, integrating various therapeutic techniques for optimal and lasting results.
• Physiotherapy with Zhuo Wei Feng can be a transformative turning point for those affected by hip pain when I walk, climb stairs, or try to sleep on my side. The shared goal is achieving improved performance in work-related physical demands, paving the way for you to enjoy doing household chores like vacuuming, mopping, or laundry without pain and a more active, vibrant life.

This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as competing effectively in their curling league games with a new lease on life.

Does Restoracare Health offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Restoracare Health offers direct billing for most major private insurance companies such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, Blue Cross, etc. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. Always confirm your specific coverage details, including any annual maximums, per-visit limits, or deductible requirements, directly with your insurance provider, as plans vary significantly. You are responsible for any portion not covered by your insurance.

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 and verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

This is very individual and depends on many factors. After your comprehensive initial assessment, your Physiotherapist will be able to give you a better idea of the anticipated number of sessions and the frequency of visits needed to achieve your specific goals. We believe in open communication and will regularly review your progress with you, adjusting the treatment plan as you improve and as needed.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Essentially, physiotherapy helps you get moving and stay moving effectively and comfortably. Whether you're dealing with an acute injury, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, or a condition affecting your physical abilities, your Physiotherapist will work with you. They'll use their expertise in body mechanics, rehabilitation, and pain management to create a personalized treatment plan involving exercises, hands-on techniques, and practical advice to help you achieve your functional goals and live a more active, fulfilling life.

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

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is best for your physiotherapy appointment – think about what you might wear to a gym or for light exercise. If you're being treated for a lower-body issue (like hip or knee pain), shorts are very helpful. For upper-body issues (like shoulder or neck pain), a tank top or loose t-shirt is suitable so the Physiotherapist can properly examine and treat the area.

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 require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

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). If Restoracare Health offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can bill your insurer directly for the covered portion; you'll be responsible for any remaining balance. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. If direct billing isn't possible, we'll provide an official receipt for submission to your insurer.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy involves skilled, hands-on treatments performed by your Physiotherapist as part of your overall physiotherapy plan. These techniques are designed to assess and treat your joints, muscles, and nerves to decrease pain and improve your mobility and function. Examples include specific joint mobilizations to improve movement, soft tissue release techniques to address muscle tightness or scar tissue, and sometimes manipulations (adjustments) if indicated and appropriate for your condition and your therapist's qualifications.
