Physiotherapy for WSIB

In Ontario, physiotherapy services may be covered by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) if they are related to a workplace injury or illness.

If you have sustained a workplace injury or illness and you are covered by WSIB in Ontario, you may be eligible for physiotherapy treatment as part of your coverage.

The physiotherapy treatment you receive will depend on the specific injuries or conditions you are experiencing as a result of your workplace injury or illness. Your physiotherapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs and goals. This may include exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility, as well as techniques to reduce pain and improve function.

In Ontario, physiotherapy treatment for workplace injuries or illnesses is typically covered by WSIB up to a certain amount. Your WSIB coverage will specify the maximum amount of physiotherapy coverage you are entitled to receive. If you have any questions about your physiotherapy coverage, it is important to contact WSIB for more information.

Overall, physiotherapy can be an effective treatment for people who have sustained a workplace injury or illness. If you are covered by WSIB in Ontario and you have been injured at work, it is worth considering physiotherapy as part of your rehabilitation process.

Physiotherapy treatment for workplace injuries or illnesses will be provided in your home. Home physiotherapy can be approved by WSIB for the benefit of many patients, including:

• patients who cannot drive due to their injury
• patients who have undergone a medical procedure or surgery
• patients whose pain makes commuting difficult
• those who experience co-morbidities along side their injury, such as headaches and anxiety.
• those who simply enjoy the convenience of mobile physiotherapy services.
