Physiotherapy in Newmarket — Evidence-Based Care for Pain and Recovery

At Wellness Place, our registered physiotherapists design individualized treatment plans that address the root cause of your pain or limitation — not just the symptoms. Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing a sports injury, dealing with chronic pain, or looking to improve your function and mobility, physiotherapy offers a structured, evidence-based path to getting better.

We welcome patients from Newmarket, Aurora, Sharon, and East Gwillimbury, and our 10-service clinic means your physiotherapy care can be seamlessly coordinated with chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, and more.

What Is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a regulated health profession focused on restoring and maintaining physical function, mobility, and quality of life. Physiotherapists are university-trained clinicians who assess the musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory systems to diagnose movement dysfunction and design targeted treatment plans.

Treatment combines manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, education, and modalities such as ultrasound, TENS, and shockwave therapy to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and prevent re-injury. The College of Physiotherapists of Ontario regulates the profession to ensure the highest standards of patient care.

What to Expect at Your First Physiotherapy Appointment

Your first visit is about understanding you fully before any treatment begins:

  1. Comprehensive assessment (30–45 min): Your physiotherapist takes a detailed history, reviews your goals, and performs a physical examination — posture, range of motion, strength, and movement patterns.
  2. Diagnosis and explanation: You will leave knowing exactly what is happening and why — not just a treatment plan, but an understanding of your condition.
  3. Initial treatment: Most first visits include hands-on treatment — manual therapy, mobilization, or targeted exercises — so you begin feeling better immediately.
  4. Home program: You receive a personalized exercise program to support your progress between sessions.
  5. Treatment plan: Your physiotherapist outlines how many sessions to expect and what milestones to aim for.

Sessions are typically 30–60 minutes. Frequency depends on your condition — most patients attend 1–2 times per week initially.

OHIP does not cover private physiotherapy in a clinic setting. However, most extended health benefit plans cover physiotherapy. We offer direct billing to most major insurers. Some community physiotherapy programs (hospital outpatient, public health) are OHIP covered for eligible patients.
It depends on your condition and goals. Acute injuries typically respond in 4–8 sessions. Chronic or complex conditions may require 10–16 sessions or more. Your physiotherapist will give you a realistic estimate at your first appointment and re-assess regularly.
Yes. Physiotherapy is one of the most effective evidence-based approaches to chronic pain. Treatment combines manual therapy, graded exercise, pain education, and functional rehabilitation to reduce pain and improve daily function — without relying on medication.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows access to the area being treated. For lower body conditions, shorts are helpful. For shoulder or upper body issues, a tank top or loose shirt works well.
