PHYSIOTHERAPY
Our Difference
We treat you in a private room in a one-on-one session with the physiotherapist for your entire visit. You will not be treated by support staff.
We do take the time to perform manual hands-on therapy.
We give you only the treatment you need and aim to get you feeling better as quickly as possible.
We take the time to educate you on your condition and give you at-home exercises to make sure you continue self-treatment.

DO I NEED A DOCTOR'S REFERRAL TO SEE A PHYSIOTHERAPIST?No, you do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist because a physiotherapist is a primary healthcare provider. However, some insurance providers may need a doctor's referral in order for you to be reimbursed.

MY DOCTOR REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER CLINIC. CAN I STILL COME TO INSTEP?Yes, you sure can!

ARE PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICES COVERED BY OHIP?OHIP does provide some coverage to persons 65 and over, and 19 and younger, those on ODSP, long-term care facilities, or some persons who have been treated in hospital overnight.

ARE YOU ABLE TO BILL MY INSURANCE PROVIDER DIRECTLY?Unfortunately, the clinic is not set up to direct bill insurance companies. Our patients pay at the end of their visit and we provide a detailed receipt which they can submit to their insurance provider for reimbursement.
