Initial Assessments
If you are new to the clinic or have a new injury that needs to be assessed, book a 60 minute comprehensive initial assessment.
Follow-up Appointments
Discuss with your physiotherapist whether you should book a 30 minute or a 45 minute follow up. It may depend on the body part being treated or the stage of recovery.
Shockwave Therapy Add-On
Shockwave is an excellent adjunct to therapy especially in cases of calcific tissue, deep trigger points and myofascial tightness. Discuss with your therapist if this is an option for you

FAQs
Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist?
A doctor’s referral is not required to see a physiotherapist or massage therapist at The Sports Health Experts. Some extended health insurance benefit plans do require a doctor’s prescription or referral in order for you to be reimbursed for these services.
What do I need to bring to my therapy appointment?
Please wear or bring loose comfortable clothing that allows your provider to assess and treat your area of concern. Patients with low back, hip or knee issues should bring a pair of gym shorts to every treatment visit. Patients with neck or shoulder concerns should bring a tank top or sports bra to each therapy visit.
Is physiotherapy treatment covered by OHIP?
No, physiotherapy services at The Sports Health Experts are not covered by OHIP.
Are physiotherapy treatments covered by my extended health benefits plan?
That depends on your insurance coverage policy. Contact your insurance provider to find out what services they cover and whether you will need a prescription from a doctor to submit with your claim.
Is there a fee for a missed appointment or a late cancellation?
At least 24 hours notice is required for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling for ALL of our providers (doctors, physiotherapists and massage therapists). Appointments cancelled or changed with less than 24 hours notice and missed appointments will have the credit card on file charged.
The fee must be paid before rescheduling or attending any future appointments. In the event there is no credit card information on file, no appointment with any provider can be booked until the fee has been paid and any existing bookings will be cancelled.
I have a new injury but I am already seeing a physiotherapist for a different injury, do I still need to book an initial assessment for the new one?
Can I choose which provider I want to see?
Can I book multiple appointments at the same time?
Why do I need to give my Health Card Number if I am seeing a physiotherapist or massage therapist and not a doctor?
