Questions about in-home physiotherapy
Referrals, insurance, pricing and what to expect from a mobile visit. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please call, or get in touch via the contact page.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No. There is no need for a doctor’s referral to use in-home physiotherapy services. If you are claiming through private insurance or a motor vehicle accident claim, your insurer may ask for supporting documentation, and we are happy to help with that.
Do you direct bill insurance?
Yes. We offer direct billing services to private health insurance, giving you a hassle-free payment experience. In-home physiotherapy services are covered under all EHB and MVA insurance.
How much does a home visit cost?
Our pricing is simple:
- In-home initial assessment (60 minutes) — $110
- In-home treatment (30–40 minutes) — $95
- Virtual physiotherapy (30–40 minutes) — $80
You pay for an in-home appointment, not for a trip to a clinic.
Where do you provide treatment?
We are mobile. Treatment can take place at your home, your workplace, a nursing home, a gym — wherever suits you.
What areas do you service?
Plexus Physiotherapy provides mobile physiotherapy servicing the GTA. If you are unsure whether we service your area, please contact us to enquire.
What are your working hours?
We are available seven days a week: Monday to Friday, 9am–7pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 9am–2pm. We offer daytime, evening and weekend appointments.
Will I see the same physiotherapist each visit?
Yes. You will always have the same physiotherapist visiting you at home.
How much space is needed for an in-home appointment?
Not much. Our physiotherapists most commonly work in a client’s living room. Depending on your problem, we bring a range of equipment on the first and subsequent visits, including a treatment table, portable exercise and rehabilitation equipment, and treatment modalities such as electrotherapy machines.
What conditions can be treated at home?
As a mobile physiotherapy provider, we can treat anything that would have been treated at a clinic, including:
- Orthopaedic — joint and muscular pain, arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, sprains, ankle and foot pain, chronic pain
- Post-operative — hip surgeries, rotator cuff repair, shoulder dislocation, fractures, Achilles tendon repairs, ankle reconstruction, spinal surgeries
- Senior care — falls prevention, balance disorders, mobility and strengthening, hip and knee replacement rehab
- Motor vehicle accident injuries — whiplash, concussion, fractures, soft tissue damage, spinal or nerve damage, traumatic brain injuries
- Vestibular — vertigo, dizziness, impaired balance, nausea, headache or light-headedness, tinnitus, double vision
- Neurological — stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, ALS
Who should book a home visit?
A mobile visit suits you if you are:
- Unable to drive due to lack of licence or pain
- Not capable of organising transport to a clinic
- Experiencing driving or passenger anxiety after a motor vehicle accident
- Recovering from surgery or fractures
- An older adult in a long-term care home or at your residence
- A young child
- Living with complex medical needs requiring one-to-one attention
- Unable to arrange care for a dependent while attending a clinic
- Part of a family or couple treating together in back-to-back appointments
- Time-poor due to family or work requirements
- A working adult who works from home (often treated over a lunch break)
Do you accept referrals from health care providers?
Yes. We welcome referrals from general practitioners, specialists, case managers, community nursing and other health care providers.
Is there a free consultation?
Yes. We offer a free clinical consultation on the phone. Our clinical staff can assist with your questions and requests, with no obligation — and if we are not the team for you, we are more than happy to direct you on.
What if I can’t reach you by phone?
As our clinicians are on the road much of the time, please leave a message and a return phone number. We will get back to you that day.
