    Is in-home Physiotherapy covered by OHIP?

    Our services are not covered by OHIP, however there are some physiotherapy clinics covered by OHIP.  These clinics sometimes have long waitlists while we strive to get our patients booked in within a few days.

    What are the advantages of private in-home physiotherapy?

    No Waitlists
    OHIP programs often have long wait times. With private physiotherapy, you get immediate access to care—often within 24–48 hours.

    More Frequent and Longer Sessions
    Publicly funded care is often limited to a set number of shorter sessions. Private physiotherapy offers as many sessions as needed, tailored to your pace and recovery goals.

    Personalized One-on-One Care
    In many OHIP-funded clinics, therapists may see multiple patients at once. Private physiotherapists provide dedicated, one-on-one attention in every session.

    In-Home Convenience
    OHIP does not typically cover in-home physiotherapy unless under strict criteria. Private in-home physiotherapy brings expert care directly to your door—no travel required.

    Customized Treatment Plans
    Private providers design personalized care plans based on your unique needs, lifestyle, and health history—not just standard protocols.
