- Posture-related sports injuries or performance challenges.

What to expect at your first visit
Your first posture correction appointment starts with a conversation about your symptoms and daily routine. Your physiotherapist will ask how you spend your day, including desk work, driving, lifting, screen time and exercise, since these habits often play a role. They will then assess your posture while standing and sitting, along with your mobility, strength and how you move.
Your physiotherapist will explain what they found and build a plan with you. Treatment may include hands-on techniques, targeted strengthening and stretching, and practical advice on your workstation setup and daily habits. Posture change takes consistent practice, so your home exercise program is an important part of care. Your plan will be adjusted as your strength and awareness improve. If you have numbness, weakness or other concerning symptoms, your physiotherapist may recommend follow-up with your doctor.

Insurance and direct billing
We offer direct billing to most extended health insurance plans, so in many cases you will not need to pay up front and wait for reimbursement. Coverage differs from plan to plan, so check your benefits before your visit. You do not need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist in Ontario, although some plans require one for reimbursement. If your injury happened at work or in a car accident, see our WSIB workplace injuries and motor vehicle accident pages. Interim Federal Health Program clients can learn more on our IFHP page.
