Question 1

Accepted Answer

A Registered Physiotherapist is a regulated healthcare professional dedicated to assessing, diagnosing, and treating both acute and chronic conditions. Physiotherapy aims to prevent injuries, provide effective treatment, and support the management of various conditions—empowering you to maintain independence and continue enjoying the activities you love most.

Question 2

Can I get physiotherapy in a retirement residence?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I frequently provide physiotherapy services to patients in retirement residences. Your physiotherapy session can be had in the privacy of your room or in the area of the retirement residence that you feel most comfortable.

Question 3

How soon after being discharged from the hospital can I start in-home physiotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Unless advised otherwise by your doctor or medical team, it is generally safe and beneficial to begin physiotherapy as soon as possible. In fact, patients are often seen even before they are discharged from the hospital to provide additional support and enhance their care. If you have any questions or concerns about starting physiotherapy, feel free to book a free consultation—we're here to help!

Question 4

Can I get physiotherapy appointments in the hospital?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. However, before proceeding with your booking, please make sure to consult with the hospital staff to understand any specific protocols, requirements, or forms that may be necessary for external healthcare practitioners.

Question 5

What to expect from the in-home physiotherapy initial assessment?

Accepted Answer

Your initial assessment begins with a thoughtful conversation to explore your medical history, injuries, conditions, lifestyle, activities, concerns, and personal goals. From there, we’ll conduct a series of range-of-motion, strength, orthopedic, balance, and standardized tests to establish a clear baseline for tracking your progress. Together, we will focus on addressing your injury, alleviating your concerns, and equipping you with effective management strategies to guide you confidently on your journey to recovery.

Question 6

How do I prepare for my first in-home physiotherapy session?

Accepted Answer

Please wear something comfortable that allows for unrestricted movement, such as a T-shirt and sweatpants. Rest assured, I’ll bring along all the necessary equipment we’ll need for our sessions.

Question 7

How do I pay for my physiotherapy appointment?

Accepted Answer

As we continue to work hard to deliver the absolute best care for my clients, we kindly ask for payments to be made via cash, e-transfer, or cheque. These methods help maintain efficiency and keep our operations running smoothly—your understanding and support mean the world!

Question 8

Will my insurance cover in-home physiotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Most insurance providers offer coverage for in-home physiotherapy in the same way they do for clinic-based treatments. After each appointment, you will receive a detailed receipt that includes the physiotherapy registration number and all the necessary information, ensuring you can confidently submit your claim through your private insurance.

Since every insurance company and plan has unique coverage details, please contact your provider in advance to confirm the specifics of your policy.

Question 9

Is physiotherapy covered by OHIP?

Accepted Answer

We are dedicated to delivering the highest standard of care to each of my clients, for this reason our services are unfortunately not covered by OHIP. Some clinics do offer OHIP-covered physiotherapy to patients who meet specific criteria; however, these programs often come with long wait times. In contrast, we prioritize getting my patients scheduled within the same week to ensure timely and effective care.
