Rx Physio Health is a multidisciplinary rehabilitation and performance clinic offering physiotherapy, sports injury rehabilitation, Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST), Registered Massage Therapy (RMT), radial shockwave therapy, chiropractic care, chiropody, custom orthotics, osteopathic manual practice and in-home physiotherapy for older adults. Physiotherapy treatment may also include exercise rehabilitation, manual therapy, acupuncture, dry needling, blood flow restriction training and other treatment methods when clinically appropriate.
Our practitioners collaborate when a patient would benefit from more than one perspective or service, while keeping the treatment plan centred on the patient’s needs and goals.
Yes. Rx Physio Health can submit claims directly to many extended health insurance providers when the plan allows electronic direct billing. Direct billing is a convenience and does not guarantee that an insurer will approve or pay a claim.
Bring your current insurance information to your appointment. Any deductible, co-payment, plan limitation or unpaid balance remains the patient’s responsibility.
In most cases, no. You can contact Rx Physio Health directly to book physiotherapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care, chiropody, osteopathy or FST without first seeing a physician.
Some extended health insurance plans require a physician’s referral or prescription before they will reimburse a service, custom orthotics or compression stockings. Check the requirements of your individual plan before your appointment.
The best starting point depends on your symptoms and goals. Physiotherapy is often appropriate for pain, injury, movement limitations, post-operative rehabilitation and return to sport. Massage therapy may be helpful for muscular tension, recovery and relaxation; chiropractic care addresses musculoskeletal pain and mobility; chiropody focuses on foot and ankle health; and FST focuses on assisted mobility and flexibility.
If you are not sure where to begin, call (905) 666-1515. Our front desk team can help match your concern with an appropriate practitioner. Your clinician will also refer within the Rx team when another service could add value to your care.
Your first visit begins with a detailed assessment. Your practitioner will discuss your symptoms, health history, daily demands and goals, then complete the relevant physical, functional or movement testing. They will explain their findings, answer your questions and outline a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment may begin during the first visit when it is safe and appropriate. The exact format depends on the service booked and the findings from your assessment.
Bring any relevant referral, imaging report, surgical protocol, specialist note or insurance information. Wear or bring clothing that allows the practitioner to assess the affected area and observe the movements related to your symptoms. Athletic shoes may be helpful for lower-body, gait, running or sport-related assessments.
Yes. Rx Physio Health is built around personalized, one-on-one care. Your appointment time is focused on you, allowing your practitioner to assess your progress, explain the purpose of treatment and adjust your plan based on how you are responding.
When care is shared between members of the team, each appointment remains one-on-one and follows a coordinated treatment plan.
No. Although our team has extensive experience in sports rehabilitation and performance, we work with people of all ages and activity levels. Our patients include competitive athletes, recreational exercisers, weekend warriors, active parents, office workers, older adults and people who simply want to move with less pain and more confidence.
No. An assessment can be useful when symptoms first begin, when a problem keeps returning or when reduced mobility is affecting work, exercise, sleep or daily activity. You can also book when you are no longer in significant pain but need guidance rebuilding strength, movement capacity or confidence before returning to an activity.
See FAQs below for questions relating to physiotherapy at Rx Physio Health Whitby:
Physiotherapy can help assess and manage many acute, persistent and recurring musculoskeletal conditions, including neck and back pain, sciatica, shoulder pain, elbow and wrist injuries, hip and knee pain, ankle sprains, foot pain, muscle strains, tendinopathies and posture- or work-related symptoms.
Our Whitby physiotherapists also provide sports injury rehabilitation, pre- and post-operative rehabilitation, strength and mobility programming, gait and balance training, and return-to-work or return-to-sport planning. The first step is an assessment to determine what is contributing to your symptoms and whether physiotherapy is appropriate.
Yes. Sports physiotherapy can help with both acute injuries and overuse problems related to running, lifting, field and court sports, hockey, lacrosse, cheerleading and other activities. Rehabilitation may include movement analysis, mobility work, progressive strengthening, load management and sport-specific testing.
The goal is not only to settle symptoms, but to restore the strength, control and capacity needed for a safe and confident return to training and competition.
Yes. Physiotherapy can help patients prepare for surgery and recover following procedures such as knee or hip replacement, ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair and other orthopaedic surgeries. Treatment may address pain and swelling, range of motion, strength, walking, balance and gradual return to daily or recreational activity.
Bring any surgical instructions or rehabilitation protocol to your assessment so your plan can reflect the surgeon’s precautions and timelines. Please note that we are not an OHIP funded clinic.
Your treatment plan is based on your assessment rather than a predetermined list of techniques. Depending on your condition and goals, physiotherapy may include education, activity modification, exercise rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, manual therapy, joint or soft-tissue techniques, acupuncture or dry needling, taping, blood flow restriction training, shockwave therapy or electrotherapy.
Your physiotherapist will explain why a treatment is being used and how it supports your overall rehabilitation plan.
There is no single number that is appropriate for every patient. The expected frequency and duration of care depend on the condition, its severity and duration, your medical history, your goals, your response to treatment and how consistently you can complete the plan between visits.
After your assessment, your physiotherapist will outline a recommended plan of care and reassess it as you progress. Recommendations are adjusted according to your clinical needs rather than using the same schedule for everyone.
See below for FAQs about:
Radial shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers acoustic pressure waves to a targeted area. It may be included in a broader rehabilitation plan to help manage certain persistent tendon and soft-tissue conditions after an appropriate clinical assessment.
At Rx Physio Health, the BTL-6000 radial shockwave unit may be used for conditions such as plantar fasciitis or persistent heel pain, Achilles and patellar tendinopathy, tennis or golfer’s elbow, and other chronic soft-tissue problems when clinically appropriate. Shockwave is not suitable for every patient or every condition; your practitioner will screen for precautions and explain whether it is likely to add value to your treatment plan.
Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a form of assisted stretching that combines guided breathing, joint traction and sequenced movements. Sessions are tailored to the individual and may help improve mobility, flexibility and available range of motion while reducing feelings of muscular tension.
FST can support everyday movement, training recovery and athletic performance. When delegated FST is included within a physiotherapy plan of care, a physiotherapist completes the initial assessment and periodic reassessments to confirm that the treatment remains appropriate and aligned with your goals.
Physiotherapy focuses on assessing physical dysfunction and developing a rehabilitation plan to restore movement, strength and function. Registered Massage Therapy uses hands-on techniques to address muscles and other soft tissues and may support pain management, mobility, recovery, relaxation and general well-being.
The services can be used separately or as complementary parts of a coordinated plan. Your physiotherapist and RMT can collaborate when that approach is appropriate and you consent to shared care.
Chiropractic care can help assess and manage musculoskeletal concerns such as back pain, neck pain, headaches related to neck dysfunction, joint stiffness, posture-related discomfort, work-related strains and sports injuries. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilization, soft-tissue therapy, exercise prescription and acupuncture or dry needling when appropriate.
Your chiropractor will complete an assessment and discuss treatment options that reflect your condition, preferences and goals.
An osteopathic manual practitioner uses gentle, hands-on assessment and treatment techniques with the goal of improving mobility, reducing physical tension and supporting overall function. Treatment considers how different regions of the body may influence one another and is individualized to the patient’s presentation.
Osteopathic manual practice may be considered for people seeking a whole-body manual approach to musculoskeletal discomfort or mobility limitations.
A chiropodist is a regulated foot-care professional who assesses and treats a wide range of foot and ankle concerns. At Rx Physio Health, chiropody services include care for plantar heel pain, calluses, corns, warts, ingrown or fungal toenails, bunions, neuromas, ankle and foot-joint problems, diabetic foot concerns and other conditions within the chiropodist’s scope.
Our Licensed Chiropodist also provides biomechanical and gait assessments, custom orthotics, compression stockings with a valid medical prescription, and medication or other medical foot-care options when indicated.
Custom orthotics may be considered when foot structure, gait mechanics or load distribution is contributing to pain or difficulty with walking, work, exercise or sport. They may help some people with foot and ankle symptoms and may also influence comfort at the knee, hip or lower back.
At Rx Physio Health, custom orthotics are prescribed by a Licensed Chiropodist following a comprehensive foot, biomechanical and gait assessment. They are made for your individual feet and movement needs rather than selected as a generic over-the-counter insert.
