Are your services covered by OHIP?
As with most physiotherapy clinics in Ontario, we are not eligible to bill OHIP for physiotherapy services. However, almost all extended health plans provide varying amounts of yearly coverage for physiotherapy expenses.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
You do not require a doctor’s referral to be treated by a physiotherapist. However, if you have an extended health care plan, your insurer may require a doctor’s referral in order to reimburse you for the physiotherapy treatment.
How long is a treatment?
Your first assessment and treatment will be approximately one hour. All subsequent treatments will be anywhere from 20-40 minutes depending on the condition being treated.
