Physiotherapy for WSIB Work Injuries in the Cambridge Area

Physiotherapy helps you recover from a work-related injury, so your treatment is covered by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). The Cambridge Physiotherapy Clinics provides tailored treatment plans to help you, as an injured worker, regain your mobility, strength, and functionality. We help reduce your pain, restore physical capabilities, and develop a safe return-to-work plan.

The Cambridge Physiotherapy Coordinates and Direct Bills for Your WSIB Care

WSIB physiotherapy services require a comprehensive assessment to identify the injury’s impact on you and determine the best approach for recovery. Physiotherapy treatment plans typically involve manual therapy and exercise programs combined with other proven modalities to speed healing. Physiotherapists in Cambridge work closely with you so your individualized rehabilitation plan aligns with WSIB guidelines.

What Happens with a WSIB Claim?

If you are injured at work, first report the injury to your supervisor or manager. Then, make the WSIB claim. 

  • If you can, bring your WSIB claim number to your physio appointment. If you don’t have a claim number, the staff at The Cambridge Physiotherapy can assist. 
  • Usually, WSIB will approve up to  8 weeks of physiotherapy. Your physiotherapist will reassess your condition periodically. If you need physiotherapy beyond the initial plan of care, our office will ask for an extension with more physiotherapy sessions. 
  • The Cambridge Physiotherapy does direct billing for you as a WSIB client, so you don’t have to pay anything. Plus, they help with all the paperwork and help you fill out Functional Ability Forms (FAF) for your return to work if required.

You do not need a doctor’s referral to seek physiotherapy treatment after a work injury.
