Question 1

Do I need a referral?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, you do not need a referral to see a physiotherapist in Ontario. However, I recommend checking with your provider. You're welcome to book directly.

Question 2

What happens in my first session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session begins with a comprehensive assessment. I'll discuss your medical history, current symptoms, functional goals, and concerns. I'll then perform a physical evaluation and begin developing your personalized treatment plan.

Question 3

How long does recovery take?

Accepted Answer

Recovery timelines vary depending on your condition, severity, and how one's body responds to treatment. Some patients see improvements within a few sessions, while others may require ongoing rehabilitation. I'll provide realistic expectations during your assessment and track your progress throughout.

Question 4

Is treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

Physiotherapists are required to work within pain limits. While some exercises may feel challenging, I focus on each person's tolerance and comfort level. Communication is key — I'll adjust techniques based on your feedback to ensure a positive experience.

Question 5

Do you treat neurological conditions only?

Accepted Answer

While neurological rehabilitation and geriatric care are my areas of interest, I have years of experience treating conditions such as chronic low back pain, sciatica, post-surgical rehabilitation, and general mobility issues across different clinical settings. My master's degree in neurosciences informs my approach to all conditions I treat.

Question 6

How long are the sessions?

Accepted Answer

I offer in-clinic sessions: Assessment 60 min ($140), Follow-up 60 min ($130), 45 min ($115) and 30 min ($100). In-home sessions: Assessment 60 min ($150), Follow-up 60 min ($140) and 45 min ($125). Consultation only (no treatment): 30 min ($50). The appropriate session length depends on your condition and treatment needs. I'll recommend a suitable option during your initial assessment; however, patients can choose as they prefer, keeping in mind that a shorter session may limit the scope of treatment.

Question 7

Do you offer direct billing to insurance?

Accepted Answer

Currently I do not offer direct billing, but I will provide detailed receipts, printed or by email, for you to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

Question 8

Do you offer promotional pricing, free trials, or bundled packages?

Accepted Answer

I do not currently advertise free consultations, discounted packages, or bundled offers. Each session is booked and paid for individually at the rates listed above. If a promotional or bundled offer is introduced in the future, the full conditions, eligibility, expiry, and refund terms for any unused services will be clearly disclosed at the time of booking, and any bundled service will also remain available to purchase individually. This approach follows the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario Advertising and Marketing Standard.
