What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a health care profession focussing on evaluating, restoring, and maintaining physical function.

What is a Physiotherapist
A Physiotherapist is an individual who is university educated and is trained to assess and improve movement and function and also relieve pain. A Physiotherapist must be licensed by the regulatory board (often referred to as The College of Physiotherapists)

How can a Physiotherapist help me?
A Physiotherapist can help you achieve your highest level of physical functioning (at any stage of life) by providing you with a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.

Some Examples:

  • preventing and treating sports injuries
  • education in pre- & post-natal care
  • restoring and increasing range of motion in joints
  • alleviating pain

How do I book an appointment?
Call Wallis & Associates at (905) 840-3486.

How long will the appointment take?
The initial assessment will take 1 hour and subsequent visits will last 30 minutes.

Do I need a referral?
Physiotherapy is a direct-access health care profession meaning that you don't need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. Most insurance companies however, require a doctor's referral (check with your specific extended health care plan). Physiotherapy services at Wallis & Associates are offered privately and are therefore not covered by OHIP.

What can I expect?
You can expect a detailed health history, a detailed assessment of the particular area of concern, a personalized treatment plan which may include manual therapy, modalities, home exercises, posture training, education, and your questions and concerned addressed.
