For many Canadians, health insurance providers cover all cost or a portion of the cost of physiotherapist care. Some extended health insurance plans may require a physician’s referral in order to reimburse you for physiotherapist service, but it’s not always necessary. Call your health insurance provider to confirm your level of coverage beforehand and to determine whether or not you require a physician referral for reimbursement.
Physiotherapist’s fees range from province to province and can vary with practice conditions.
Physiotherapy services provided in a hospital clinic may be paid in full or in part by your provincial health plan. Physiotherapist services provided to patients who require hospital admission are covered by provincial health plans.
How can MyoDynamic Physiotherapy help me?
If you are experiencing pain or if you've been injured in a fall or motor vehicle accident or dealing with a chronic condition, physiotherapy helps reduce or eliminate pain. A physiotherapist will also work with you to restore any loss of mobility and functionality while strengthening the injured or affected area. The human body has built-in recovery mechanisms to allow it to adapt to changing conditions and to recover from injury. Using our wide range of traditional and technological modalities, your Physiotherapist will assist your body to heal naturally and enhance your recovery and work with you to correct technique and strengthen your body to prevent further damage or a recurrence of the injury.
How do I pay for my Physiotherapy assessment?
We do direct billing to all insurance providers that allow for it. Otherwise, we will provide you with all the documentation you need in order to get covered through your insurance provider.
What to expect at my first assessments?
Our physiotherapists at MyoDynamic will assess you using detailed history-taking as well as specific physical tests and measures, such as flexibility or range of motion. He or she will then analyze the assessment findings and use clinical reasoning to establish a diagnosis. Together, you will explore your current abilities and functional needs so the physiotherapist can plan treatments that are consistent with your goals and general health status, and which incorporate approaches and techniques supported by the best evidence available.
