  • setting in motion an active lifestyle, and a healthier relationship with physical activity

  • attaining a personal best, or training for a race or competition

  • maintaining an active pregnancy and plan for movement after baby

  • managing, preventing, or returning to a sport after injury.

  • gaining motivation in your partnership with a tight team of qualified professionals

  • quickly, effectively achieving pain relief, stress reduction or relaxation

What should I expect from my [mend]physio experience?

During your 1-on-1 session, we listen carefully to uncover what’s holding you back, whether it’s pain, injury, stress or even just figuring out how to adapt, monitor, and progress your favourite activities. Your therapist will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that works for your life and goals. From there, you’ll meet for the services that you need in a lively, open clinic space; access a diverse team of smart and caring professionals, and gain an understanding of how to get back to the things that you love to do. You’ll learn how to [mend] and make moves on your own — and for all those moments when you need support, we’ve got you.

How can I prepare for my first appointment?   

You will receive a new client intake form once your appointment is confirmed. Please complete it before your first appointment.

Please wear suitable clothing and comfortable shoes during your appointment; with your permission, any areas to be examined should be accessible to your therapist.

Bring/email any relevant imaging (x-rays, MRI, ultrasound, etc.) or notes from your doctor.

And finally: breathe. You’ve got this (and we’ve got you).

Do I need a doctor’s referral?

No, you don’t need a doctor’s note to be assessed and treated by a physiotherapist or massage therapist. We are primary health care providers, thus a referral is not necessary — you can book an appointment anytime.

However, some insurance companies may require a doctor's referral for the reimbursement of our services; if you’re not sure, we suggest that you clarify with your insurance provider.

Can you share my info with my doctor?

Sure! At [mend]physio, we strongly believe in a team approach and encourage open communication. With your permission, your therapist will gladly provide members of your healthcare team with relevant assessment and treatment information. Just let us know.

Is my visit covered by OHIP?

No, we do not accept OHIP because we are a private practice clinic.
Please refer to the College of Physiotherapists for a list of designated OHIP funded clinics in Ontario.

Do you accept auto insurance claims for injuries sustained during motor vehicle accidents (MVA) or Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) claims?

No, we do not accept MVA or WSIB claims at this time.
