Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.

We direct bill! If you prefer to submit on your own we are more than happy to provide you with the receipts to do so. 


At your first visit a full assessment of the area of interest will be taken.  This will generally include:

  • A detailed history of your health and injury
  • Functional limitations
  • Gait assessment, if applicable
  • Pain and movement patterns
  • Muscle strength
  • Joint range of motion
  • Nerve tests
  • Relevant X-ray and imaging reports will be examined, if applicable

At PLP we always make sure to save time in the initial assessment visit to provide you with some form of treatment, be it hands-on techniques, exercise instruction, education on the “do’s and don’t’s” for symptom management, etc.


For our first visit, please wear comfortable clothing and that of which can expose the area of concern. We advise you bring a water bottle, any medical information ( bloodwork, imaging etc) and any other relevant information to your session. 


Your first visit will be approximately 60 minutes.


 A typical physiotherapy treatment program ranges from days to weeks in length, or could be longer (often with less frequent visits), depending on the chronicity of the issue and the nature of treatment program. Your physiotherapist will determine how often you should be seen for treatment, and will not have you come in for physiotherapy any longer than is necessary for your recovery.

Treatment techniques which may be used include:

  • Manual therapy
  • Ultrasound and other electrical modalities
  • Exercise demonstration and home program development
  • Acupuncture
  • Return to work/sport/activity planning
  • Gait analysis and facilitation for optimal patterning
  • Balance and co-ordination re-training
  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage
  • Education

At PLP we make it a priority to ensure our clients understand the root cause of their symptoms or disability, and we are happy to answer whatever questions you may have. Education is critical to ensure our clients have the tools to avoid future injury, prevent re-occurrence, and promote self-management over the long-term.


Your treatment will be approximately 30 minutes.


You do not need a referral from your doctor prior to attending physiotherapy, as physiotherapists are considered primary health care providers. However, some insurance companies do require a referral from your doctor in order for you to be reimbursed for expenses. 


Yes, you can receive physiotherapy at any clinic of your choosing. You should ensure that the person delivering your care is a physiotherapist registered with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario. 


No, we do not take these cases.  

If you do qualify, you must seek out one of the few OHIP registered clinics in Ontario. PLP is NOT an OHIP registered clinic.
