Frequently asked questions.

What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy focuses on improving mobility, strength, and overall function. It helps relieve pain, recover from injuries, and prevent future problems through a combination of manual therapy, tailored exercises, and patient education.

Is Physiotherapy painful?

Physiotherapy should not be painful. Some mild soreness may occur as your body adjusts or heals, but treatments are always performed within your comfort zone. Our therapists ensure a safe and supportive experience.

What is a physiotherapy session like?

A typical session starts with an assessment to understand your condition and goals. Your therapist will then create a customized treatment plan that may include hands-on therapy, exercises, stretching, and lifestyle advice to support long-term recovery.

Do I need a doctor's referral for physiotherapy?

You do not need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist in Ontario. However, some insurance providers may require one for claim reimbursement, so it’s best to check your policy details.

Is it covered by insurance or health benefits?

Yes. Most extended health benefit plans cover physiotherapy services. At Health Mantra Physiotherapy, we offer direct billing to most insurance companies for your convenience.
