Does WSIB pay for physiotherapy?

Yes. As long as you meet the criteria for a legitimate WSIB claim, you can get the physiotherapy treatment you need to restore your health. We offer three programs of care at our clinic for WSIB injury physiotherapy in Toronto. The eligibility requirements for each program are slightly different so read the quick links to the WSIB website for the full details of your program.

Can I request a WSIB extension for physiotherapy?

Yes. Under normal circumstances, you only have 12 weeks of physiotherapy covered by the WSIB. You will need to formally request an extension on your physiotherapy treatment by submitting a WSIB extension request form for physiotherapy. This form needs to be sent with a WSIB physiotherapy assessment report with a recommendation from your physiotherapist to show your progress and improvement from treatment. We do this for all of our patients.

What are WSIB Programs of Care?

The WSIB has established three programs of care for common musculoskeletal injuries as well as specific programs for low back and shoulder injuries. If you’ve been injured on the job, you have a specific window of time to make a WSIB claim.

You will need a health care practitioner (such as us) to submit a completed form on your behalf in order to initiate a WSIB program of care. The following is a brief summary of the programs we offer that are also covered by the Workplace Safety Insurance Board. We take of everything starting with your WSIB assessment form. You can find the form here.

Musculoskeletal Program of Care (WSIB MSK POC)

The MSK POC is intended to treat injuries sustained to your bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and soft tissues. Symptoms include problems with mobility, flexibility, or functional use that are typically accompanied with pain. Most workers have sustained mild tissue damage from a strain or sprain.

Accidents or injuries that would require surgery are not covered under this program. For more details, click here to read the Quick Reference Guide.

Lower Back Injuries (WSIB Low Back POC)

The WSIB lower back Program of Care is an eight-week program. WSIB low back POC is very similar to our 5 Levels Program of Care physiotherapy treatment. We treat patients with manual therapies, educate them, and provide mobilization techniques and exercises. We essentially prepare you with a custom-designed program that transitions you back to work.

For more information please refer to the WSIB Low Back POC Quick Reference Guide.

Shoulder injuries (WSIB Shoulder Program Of Care)

Any worker who sustains a work-related shoulder injury must be treated in the WSIB shoulder Program of Care. The anatomy of the shoulder is extremely complex. For cases in which the injury and treatment are more complex, the WSIB Shoulder Speciality Clinics provide specialized shoulder assessments.

For more details regarding the WSIB Shoulder Program of Care please refer to the PDF provided for a quick summary of details of the shoulder POC.
