We know that starting something new can feel uncertain. Here is exactly what happens when you walk through our doors:
Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment
Your physiotherapist will take a detailed history of your injury or condition, perform a physical assessment of your movement, strength, and flexibility, and identify the specific structures involved. Nothing is rushed.
Step 2: Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your assessment, your physiotherapist will explain their findings in plain language and walk you through a treatment plan built specifically for your goals, whether that is getting back to sport, returning to work, or simply moving without pain.
Step 3: Treatment Begins
In most cases, your first physiotherapy treatment begins on the same visit. You will not leave without having taken a concrete step toward recovery.
Our physiotherapy team uses a combination of approaches depending on your specific condition and goals:
Q: How many physiotherapy sessions will I need in Scarborough?
A: The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, how long you have had it, and how your body responds to treatment. Most acute injuries resolve in 4 to 8 sessions. Chronic conditions or post-surgical rehab may take longer. Your physiotherapist will give you a realistic timeline at your first visit.
Q: Is physiotherapy covered by OHIP in Ontario?
A: Physiotherapy is not covered by OHIP for most adults, but it is covered by most extended health benefit plans. We also accept WSIB claims for workplace injuries and direct billing for motor vehicle accident (MVA) patients. Contact us and we can help clarify your coverage before your first visit.
Q: Can a physiotherapist in Scarborough help with chronic back pain?
A: Yes. Chronic back pain is one of the most common conditions we treat. Our physiotherapists use a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercise, and education to address the underlying cause of your pain, not just manage it temporarily.
Q: What is the difference between a physiotherapist and a chiropractor?
A: Both are trained musculoskeletal specialists, but their approaches differ. Physiotherapists focus heavily on exercise rehabilitation, movement retraining, and restoring function after injury. Chiropractors focus on spinal alignment, joint manipulation, and nervous system function. At Atlas Spine Clinic, many patients benefit from seeing both, and our team works collaboratively to build the right plan for you.
Q: Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist in Scarborough?
A: No. In Ontario, you can book directly with a physiotherapist without a doctor’s referral. However, some insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement, so check your plan before your visit.
