London Physiotherapy: In Home Service

Suffering from a recent injury or long-term chronic pain? Planning to undergo a surgical procedure? Know an elderly loved one who experienced a bad fall, stroke and needs help to regain mobility and confidence? In London Ontario, there are multiple options for physiotherapy to consider. From private clinics, inpatient hospital programs at London Health Sciences Centers, and innovative alternatives like Therapia, each has their pros and cons.

As an overview, London has over 60 physiotherapy clinics near you rated 4.5 stars or higher on Google. London also has over 237 licensed physiotherapists listed on the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario that are accepting new patients. The majority self-identify as orthopaedic (bones, joints, ligaments, sports injuries), followed by general practitioners, neurological specialists and then geriatric.

Typical clinics in London charge $90-$120 per hour sessions and accept payments out-of-pocket or through your extended health insurance plans. Some may offer direct billing, which only requires you to co-pay the difference between your coverage and the full balance. Physiotherapy clinics are likely the most popular treatment option for London residents but does have a few drawbacks to consider. First, it requires that you navigate finding the right physiotherapist for your condition. While you could spend hours scrolling through reviews on the internet, clicking through websites for a therapist that has treated similar conditions before – these are imperfect data points. Your ideal treatment should be customized for your body, your schedule and your needs.

The second drawback is the time and hassle spent on the back-and-forth commute. On average, patients spend 40 minutes commuting per treatment – not including time in the waiting room. If you or your loved one is experiencing pain, have mobility restrictions, or are simply too busy to fit in physiotherapy in your schedule,  you may prefer having a physiotherapist come to you.
