Is there free or low-cost physiotherapy in Ottawa?
OHIP does not cover most private clinic physiotherapy, but some publicly funded programs may help in certain situations, such as after hospital care or for certain conditions. Ask us or check with your provider about what may apply to you.
Cost can be a real barrier to getting care, and you are not alone in asking. Our goal is to help you find a realistic path.
Even a single assessment can give you a plan to follow at home and tell you whether more visits are needed.
Places to ask
- Your family doctor or specialist
- Your hospital team after surgery or an admission
- Your insurer or workplace benefits provider
- Community health services in your area
Other ways people manage cost
Extended health plans, auto insurance after a car accident and WSIB for work injuries may cover care. Check your plan for specifics.
Getting the most from each visit
Fewer, well planned visits combined with a home exercise program can help. A physiotherapist can focus on what you need most and teach you to manage between visits.
