Do You Need a Referral?
No referral is required to see a physiotherapist in Ontario. However, some insurance providers may require a referral for reimbursement, so it’s best to check your coverage in advance.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes
- Treatment plans are customized based on your condition and progress
- You may be given exercises to continue at home
Recovery timelines vary depending on your condition, severity, and consistency with treatment.
Physiotherapy for Headaches
- Some headaches originate from tension and dysfunction in the neck and upper back.

- Treating neck and upper spine mobility
- Reducing muscle tension
- Improving posture and movement patterns
This is especially effective for cervicogenic headaches, which are often mistaken for migraines.
