OHIP-Covered Physiotherapy for Arthritis

If you have a prescription for physiotherapy and match the criteria, you can get OHIP-funded physiotherapy for chronic diseases, however, there are certain restrictions. OHIP will cover physiotherapy aimed at resolving an acute episode or worsening of symptoms and only if the worsening has decreased your mobility or capacity to operate in everyday life.
