A doctor's referral is generally not required to see a physiotherapist in Ontario. However, some extended health insurance plans may have their own requirements for reimbursement, so it is worth checking your plan before your appointment.

A physiotherapy appointment can include an assessment of your movement, joints, muscles, strength, mobility, and the factors contributing to your condition. At Arise Physio, treatment may include hands-on techniques, soft tissue work, joint mobilization, therapeutic exercises, and modalities such as TENS, ultrasound, shockwave, or laser when appropriate for the condition.

The clinic's physiotherapy service addresses musculoskeletal conditions involving the spine and joints, including neck pain, back pain, shoulder problems, knee problems, foot pain, sciatica, joint stiffness, muscle weakness, ligament injuries, posture concerns, and pre- and post-joint surgery rehabilitation.

Chiropractic care at Arise Physio uses both passive and active rehabilitation strategies. Depending on the condition, treatment may include spinal or joint manipulation or adjustment, with care focused on conditions involving the spine, joints, muscles, and nerves.

Massage therapy at the clinic is used for concerns such as low back pain, neck and shoulder tension, muscle spasms, joint and muscle stiffness, headaches, migraines, general body aches, and some circulatory concerns. The clinic lists several massage approaches, including Swedish, Thai, Indian Ayurvedic, and stone massage.

Acupuncture involves inserting thin, sterile, single-use needles into selected points on the body. Arise Physio provides acupuncture as part of its range of services. People considering acupuncture should discuss their health history with the practitioner, particularly during pregnancy or when there are conditions that may affect bleeding.

The clinic provides custom made orthotics using measurements taken from the footprint and an assessment of foot biomechanics. Orthotics may be considered for concerns such as foot or heel pain, flat feet, high arches, abnormal foot posture, metatarsalgia, Morton's neuroma, and certain knee, hip, or back problems associated with foot alignment.

Arise Physio provides medical compression stockings made from cotton or microfiber, including products from brands such as Sigvaris and Bauerfeind. The clinic also provides braces, including custom knee braces, elbow braces, lumbar braces, and other options.

Yes. Since the clinic provides physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, orthotics, compression stockings, and braces, patients can discuss their needs with the appropriate practitioner and determine which service or combination of services is appropriate for their situation.

Coverage depends on your individual extended health plan and the type of service. Some plans provide coverage for registered physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, or acupuncture, while orthotics and braces may have separate requirements or limits.
