Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral for physiotherapy in Ontario?
Outside hospital settings, physiotherapists can generally assess and treat without a physician referral, but your insurer or funding program may have its own documentation requirements.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
There is no correct universal number. Your therapist should set measurable goals, explain the initial plan and reassess based on progress and clinical need.
What should I wear to a physiotherapy assessment?
Wear or bring comfortable clothing that allows safe observation and movement of the area being assessed. Ask the clinic if you are unsure, and remember that consent applies to examination and treatment.
Does insurance cover physiotherapy and massage therapy?
Many extended-health plans cover physiotherapy and RMT services, but limits, eligible providers and referral requirements differ. Confirm your plan before booking.
When should I see a doctor or emergency department instead of a rehabilitation clinic?
Seek urgent medical care for serious trauma, chest pain, breathing difficulty, stroke-like symptoms, severe neurological changes, repeated vomiting after head injury or rapidly worsening symptoms.
