Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist in Ontario?

You generally do not need a physician's referral to book private physiotherapy directly in Ontario. However, your extended health plan, government-funded program, workplace claim, motor-vehicle insurer or another funding source may require a referral or additional documentation before reimbursing treatment. Check your plan before the first appointment.

What happens at my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your physiotherapist will review your symptoms, medical history, medications, activities and treatment goals. They may assess your movement, strength, balance, flexibility, function and other clinically relevant findings. They should then discuss their assessment, recommended treatment, expected benefits, material risks, alternatives, fees and a home-care plan before proceeding.

What conditions does HealthOne Physiotherapy treat?

HealthOne provides assessment and rehabilitation for concerns such as back or neck pain, sprains and strains, sports injuries, joint and tendon conditions, postoperative recovery, balance or vestibular problems, concussions and selected pelvic-health concerns. Suitability depends on your symptoms, health history and the expertise of the available physiotherapist. Urgent or non-physiotherapy conditions may require medical assessment or referral.

What treatments may be included in my physiotherapy plan?

Treatment may include education, activity modification, therapeutic exercise, manual therapy and a home exercise program. Depending on the assessment and the treating physiotherapist's qualifications, options may also include vestibular rehabilitation, pelvic-health physiotherapy, acupuncture or dry needling, shockwave therapy or other modalities. No particular treatment is appropriate or necessary for every patient.

How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

There is no standard number of sessions. The recommended frequency and duration depend on the condition, its severity and duration, your health, treatment goals, response to care and ability to follow the home program. Your physiotherapist should reassess your progress and modify, pause, discharge or refer your care when appropriate.

How much does physiotherapy cost at HealthOne Toronto?

Physiotherapy fees can vary by appointment type, duration, practitioner and any separately priced service or product. Ask HealthOne for its current fee schedule, cancellation policy and possible equipment or report charges before booking. The clinic should also explain the expected cost of the proposed treatment plan before you become responsible for it.

Does HealthOne offer direct billing for physiotherapy insurance?

HealthOne states that it offers coverage reviews and direct billing with many insurance providers. Successful billing is not guaranteed and depends on the insurer, employer plan, available benefits, referral requirements, annual limits and the information provided. Patients remain responsible for charges their plan does not pay.

Is physiotherapy at HealthOne covered by OHIP?

Most physiotherapy provided by private clinics is not covered by OHIP. Ontario funds physiotherapy for eligible patients through participating Community Physiotherapy Clinics and certain other publicly funded settings. HealthOne should confirm whether this Harbourfront clinic currently participates in an Ontario-funded program before stating that OHIP-covered treatment is available at this location.

Does HealthOne treat workplace or motor-vehicle accident injuries?

The page identifies workplace-injury treatment as a service offered at HealthOne North York rather than Harbourfront. Motor-vehicle and workplace claims have separate reporting, approval and billing processes. Contact HealthOne before booking to confirm the appropriate location, whether the clinic accepts your type of claim and what insurer or WSIB documentation is required.

Does HealthOne offer virtual physiotherapy appointments?

HealthOne advertises one-to-one virtual physiotherapy appointments. A physiotherapist may use video to discuss symptoms, observe movement, provide education and guide suitable exercises. Virtual care is not appropriate for every condition, and the physiotherapist may recommend an in-person examination, medical assessment or emergency care when remote assessment is insufficient or unsafe.

What should I wear and bring to my physiotherapy appointment?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows the physiotherapist to assess the affected area and observe relevant movement. Depending on the concern, shorts, a sleeveless top and appropriate footwear may be helpful. Bring your health and medication information, relevant reports or postoperative instructions, insurance details and any brace or mobility aid you currently use.

What should I expect from pelvic-floor physiotherapy?

Pelvic-floor physiotherapy begins with a discussion of your symptoms, history, goals and available assessment options. An internal pelvic examination or treatment is never automatic and requires informed, ongoing consent from the patient. You may decline or stop any part of the assessment or treatment, and the physiotherapist should explain alternatives, privacy arrangements and what to expect beforehand.

When should I seek medical care instead of waiting for physiotherapy?

Seek urgent medical assessment for symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke, a new severe headache, loss of consciousness, major trauma, rapidly worsening weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or another serious or rapidly worsening symptom. Call 911 for a medical emergency. A physiotherapist may also refer you when assessment indicates that another healthcare professional is needed.

Pre Surgery Care

Post Surgery Rehabilitation

In the event that you require surgery, a physiotherapist can play a key role in your rehabilitation and care. Not only can they help you prepare for surgery beforehand, but they can also guide and assist you as your body recovers. At HealthOne, we understand that surgery may be an unsettling necessity for many people. We will provide you with intentional support before and after your procedure to make the experience as manageable as possible.

Before surgery, you can work with a physiotherapist preventatively to get your body in optimal shape. Improving your strength and flexibility may improve the outcome of your procedure and can even reduce your recovery time. A physiotherapist can also discuss what post-operative care will look like, such as how to navigate different areas in your home or what exercises will support your recovery best. After surgery, they can evaluate your physical abilities and determine the best treatment plan to help you heal. If you have specific goals you wish to return to, such as playing a competitive sport, they will factor this in and help you work towards achieving them safely. You can count on our team of experienced physiotherapists to oversee your pre and post surgical rehabilitation with the utmost care.

Pelvic Floor Therapy & Rehab

All women have unique healthcare needs. A common but rarely talked about medical issue that many of them experience is pelvic floor dysfunction. This is a group of conditions characterized by the patient being unable to control their pelvic floor muscles. Although it can feel uncomfortable to address, we have knowledgeable and understanding physiotherapists who can play an integral role in your treatment approach. We offer a private, safe experience with practitioners who are skilled in providing pelvic floor therapy. Pelvic floor dysfunction can be experienced for a variety of reasons, and one of the most common is following childbirth. Our physiotherapists can create a specific plan to address these symptoms, which may include specific exercises (such as kegels), hands-on therapy, and/or bladder and bowel tracking. It may also occur in women who have arthritis, have a traumatic injury, or struggle with back and spine issues. We will seek to understand the root cause of your pelvic floor dysfunction so you can receive the best treatment possible. If you need pelvic floor physiotherapy in Toronto, we will make sure your experience is as comfortable as possible. To meet the needs of all female patients, our physiotherapists can also provide post-partum care including posture checks, recommendations for birthing positions, and support while preparing for labour and delivery.

“One thing I wish more women knew about their health is that pelvic health physiotherapy is for more than just those who are pregnant or in postpartum. Every woman at every age stage of their life deserves to feel connected and in control of this part of the body. Women’s health matters, and we should be talking about it more.”

– Logan Weigel, Registered Physiotherapist

Conditions and Symptoms

Balance Related Disorders Treatment

Vestibular Rehabilitation

Balance related disorders can be disorienting and challenging to deal with. The main cause of these is typically due to an issue in the vestibular system, which is a sensory system in the body comprised of the inner ear, nerves, and cochlea (located in the brain). The brain combines information from the vestibular system with your vision, muscles, and joints to maintain balance. When an imbalance arises, it can result in a condition that requires vestibular rehabilitation from an experienced Rehab professional.

At HealthOne, our physiotherapists are skilled in treating these conditions. Dizziness, vertigo, and concussions are some of the most common, and inner ear problems can also persist due to infections, brain complications, or medications. We understand how severe of an impact this can have on your daily living, which is why we care deeply about understanding the root cause of your condition. Many vestibular conditions cause secondary symptoms that can interfere with your life and your sense of wellbeing. Our physiotherapists will use their expertise and knowledge to improve your condition and help you get back to an inspired life with improved levels of balance. We aspire to be part of your healthcare team long-term and encourage you to visit us if you require further vestibular support after your initial visits.

Conditions and Symptoms

Concussion Treatment

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that is often caused by sports, recreational activities or motor vehicle accidents. No matter how severe a concussion is, it can significantly interfere with your daily life by negatively affecting your vision, balance, cognitive function, moods, ability to exercise, and more. At HealthOne, we understand how large of an impact a concussion can have on your life, which is why we care deeply about providing the best treatment possible and helping you recover safely.

We’re pleased to have physiotherapists who specialize in the rehabilitation and treatment of concussion injuries. We can provide you with the support you need to recovery from your injury and get back to doing what you love. Your unique treatment plan will be developed based on the severity of your injury and your goals for returning to daily life, including exercise. Your physiotherapist may recommend vestibular rehabilitation, manual therapy, or strengthening exercises among other services. Matters affecting the brain should be taken seriously, and we will work with you to determine the best next steps for your rehabilitation. Our goal is to help you fully recover the safest way possible so you can get back to your everyday life.

Our physiotherapists can provide the proper attention and care to help you recover the safest way possible. Many people also experience injuries in the workplace, and in these cases, physiotherapy treatment is covered by the Workplace Safety Insurance Board (WSIB). Rehabilitation is an important first step in the event of a workplace injury because it can lead to quicker healing and better recovery.

Virtual Physiotherapy

Important Information

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a form of treatment where a practitioner uses their hands to assess and treat musculoskeletal injuries. There are three main types of manual therapy performed by our physiotherapists at HealthOne: joint mobilization, joint manipulation, and massage.

Joint mobilization is performed with the goal of reducing pain and improving the range of motion on a joint. Your physiotherapist will apply pressure using their hands in a sustained or oscillating manner on the affected body part to achieve this.

Joint manipulation is performed to treat musculoskeletal injuries. Your physiotherapist will apply a high-velocity force using their hands to create a space in the joint, which is often accompanied by an audible release of gas from the treatment area.

Massage techniques are performed with the goal of reducing pain, relieving knots of tissue, improving tissue elasticity, and improving mobility. Physiotherapists use a wide range of massage techniques to apply deep and effective pressure, ultimately achieving the desired outcome on the muscles, tendons, or ligaments. Whether your injury is due to a sports injury or poor posture from working at home, manual therapy can be an effective solution as part of your physiotherapy treatment plan.

Conditions and Symptoms

Muscle (Active) Release Therapy

Scar tissue is a type of tissue that can develop in the muscles, tendons, ligaments or nerves. It often develops due to an injury or shows up over time from repetitive use and stress on the body. Scar tissue can cause feelings of stiffness, a lack of mobility, and pain in the body. Our physiotherapists can use muscle (active) release therapy as an effective way to treat this. There are over 500 treatment protocols for muscle (active) release therapy, and each can provide targeted relief of the uncomfortable symptoms you may be experiencing. Our team is highly skilled in understanding how the human body functions and will use the most accurate protocols for your unique case.

During muscle (active) release therapy, your physiotherapist will inflict a specific amount of force using their hands while getting you to move the injured area of the body. This helps to break down the adhesion and restore function and mobility at the site of the injury. Scar tissue can greatly prohibit you from moving as you normally would, and many patients find significant relief after muscle (active) release therapy. You will be able to move more easily and will experience less tension and pain. In addition to muscle (active) release therapy, your physiotherapist may recommend additional exercises to enhance your mobility and lead to a quicker recovery.

Conditions and Symptoms

Active (Exercise-based) Therapy

At HealthOne, we believe our patients should be active participants in their healing journey. As such, we believe exercise should always play a role in your healthy lifestyle and recovery process regardless of what situation you’re in. Whether you’re recovering from surgery or overcoming a sports injury, there are structured ways to incorporate movement that will ultimately help you reach your goals faster and speed up your recovery process.

Our physiotherapists have extensive experience recommending active therapy to patients of all ages and activity levels. We use our knowledge in strength and conditioning, sports medicine, and rehabilitative care to design the perfect exercise program for your needs. It’s important for you to regain strength during the recovery process so you can gradually and safely get back to work, play, and daily life.

Acupuncture

Dry Needling

Acupuncture can play an important role in your treatment approach by providing targeted relief and healing to the source of your injury. During acupuncture at HealthOne, our physiotherapists use small, sterile, one-time-use needles to stimulate the healing process within your nerves and muscles. It is a proven method of reducing pain because it relaxes the muscles, resulting in reduced pain in the nervous system. Acupuncture also helps to reduce inflammation and stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal. In addition to traditional medical acupuncture, we offer a form of acupuncture called dry needling, also known as IMS (intramuscular stimulation). This approach involves inserting one single needle repeatedly into the trigger point (or knot) of a muscle. Dry needling is typically performed in a few minutes and can be a useful way to address chronic pain.

We also offer additional modes including neuromuscular acupuncture and electro-acupuncture, so you can feel confident that our team will recommend the best treatment type for your unique case. Our physiotherapists are skilled in providing these services and have completed additional training in acupuncture.

Conditions and Symptoms

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy is an effective, non-surgical treatment modality that uses radial pressure waves to target injured tissue in the body. It is often used to treat conditions with severe pain such as sports injuries, where accelerated recovery and rapid pain relief are high priorities for the patient. There are many benefits of shockwave therapy including preventing and reducing pain, reducing inflammation, stimulating high-quality blood flow, and reducing muscle spasms. Shockwave therapy can also be used to speed up the healing process by creating healthier tissues and facilitating the body’s natural repair process again.

At HealthOne, we use the Storz Shockwave System which completes treatments in approximately 4-6 minutes. Patients can experience a significant reduction in pain in as little as 1-3 months from their treatment time. Your physiotherapist will evaluate your unique case and determine if shockwave therapy may be a suitable treatment option for you.

Conditions and Symptoms

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a non-invasive method used to stimulate the healing of injured tissues. It uses the power of red and infrared lights to target the injured cells and facilitate the production of ATP, a molecule that acts as a source of energy for the muscles. As a result, patients who get laser therapy can benefit from less accumulation of scar tissue and a quicker recovery process.

At HealthOne, we use a class IV laser which is the most effective type for targeting and delivering light. It also penetrates more deeply to treat stubborn tissues more effectively. Your physiotherapist will indicate if laser therapy might be a suitable option for treating your specific case.

Conditions and Symptoms

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy is a proven treatment for speeding up the healing process of injured tissues. It can improve the quality of tissue repair that takes place in the body, resulting in a better and more reliable recovery. Ultrasound involves the targeted use of high-frequency sound waves, which are believed to show benefits including greater levels of blood flow to the treated area and greater production of collagen. Together, these encourage quicker healing and faster recovery.

Based on your unique needs, your physiotherapist will determine if ultrasound therapy could be an effective part of your treatment plan. We use state of the art equipment to provide you with a comfortable, modern experience.

Conditions and Symptoms

Interferential Current

Interferential current therapy is a treatment that transmits small electrical impulses through your skin. It is an effective way to reduce pain and encourage the body to heal, so much so that for many patients it can override the need for medication. During interferential current therapy, your physiotherapist will attach electrodes to the skin of your injured body part. The electrical impulses stimulate the tissue and nerves without causing any pain during treatment. The frequencies sent out by the interferential current device stimulate your endorphins, which act as natural pain relievers in the body. Your physiotherapist can determine if interferential current therapy would be a suitable option to help minimize your pain, decrease your swelling and inflammation, and help you recover.

Conditions and Symptoms

Orthotics and Orthopaedic Products

At HealthOne, we have an Orthotics and Bracing team who prioritizes helping you live an inspired life with less pain. Exercise and movement are important parts of maintaining your physical health, and in many cases, additional support can help you move even better. We strive to accurately assess your needs and do thorough measurements to match you with the right product. Orthopaedic devices can help with different conditions and injuries, and we often prescribe them along with other Rehab treatments offered at our clinic.
