If you were injured at work, recovery needs more than short-term pain relief. Our WSIB-focused rehab starts with a clear assessment, function-based milestones, and a practical return-to-work plan—while keeping documentation and progress tracking organized.
WSIB-focused assessment • Evidence-informed rehab • Progress reporting • Return-to-work planning
WSIB supports health care for eligible workplace injuries and illnesses in Ontario. While each claim is different, rehab typically centers on:
Your first visit is designed to give you clarity and a practical plan. Expect:
We’ll discuss how the injury happened, what aggravates or eases symptoms, your job duties, and any restrictions. If you have paperwork (claim number, forms, notes), bring it.
We assess movement, strength, range of motion, nerve involvement (when relevant), and the specific tasks your job demands (lifting, carrying, overhead work, standing tolerance, repetitive motions, etc.).
You’ll leave knowing:
When appropriate, the first visit includes hands-on care and a starter home program. We prioritize steps that reduce irritability and help you move safely right away.

Work injuries often fall into a few common patterns. We frequently help with:
Back injuries (lifting, bending, prolonged sitting/standing)
Neck injuries (desk strain, whiplash-type pain, headaches, upper-trap tension)
Shoulder injuries (overhead work, repetitive reaching, pushing/pulling)
Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) (wrist/hand/forearm tendon overload)
Sciatica / leg symptoms from a back injury (pain, tingling, or numbness traveling into the leg; sitting/bending can aggravate it)
Knee injuries (falls, twisting, repetitive kneeling, stairs pain)
Ankle & foot injuries (sprains, instability, impact, standing/walking pain)
WSIB work injuries often respond best to a balanced plan: targeted hands-on treatment to improve comfort and mobility, plus progressive exercise and movement retraining to restore long-term capacity.
Depending on your needs, care may involve a multidisciplinary approach using services such as:
We focus on what improves outcomes: a clear plan, consistent progression, and meaningful functional milestones.

Direct billing may be available for many extended health plans. Coverage varies by insurer and plan—if direct billing isn’t available, we provide receipts for reimbursement.
WSIB process support (paperwork clarity)
We help you understand what to bring and what information WSIB typically needs. Clear steps reduce delays and “back-and-forth” frustration.
Return-to-work focused rehab
Your plan is built around job demands (lifting, carrying, standing tolerance, repetitive work). We progress you toward function—not just symptom reduction.
Progress tracking + reporting
We measure milestones and adjust early if progress stalls. Consistent tracking supports safer decisions about duties and tolerance.
Transparent billing expectations
For approved WSIB-covered care, WSIB pays for required treatment and providers can’t bill you for that care. If anything is outside coverage, we clarify it before you start.
Evidence-informed, rehab-first plan
Hands-on care can help early, but lasting change comes from progressive rehab and capacity building. You’ll get a realistic home plan that fits your schedule.
Two clinic locations, one standard of care
Get WSIB rehab at Richmond Hill or North York—same approach, same milestones. Choose what fits your commute and work schedule.
You can book an assessment without a referral, but WSIB may require medical documentation as part of your claim. If you’re unsure what’s needed for your situation, we’ll tell you what to bring and what questions to ask.
WSIB pays for health care required due to a workplace injury, and regulated providers can’t bill an injured person directly for covered musculoskeletal treatment. If any service is outside WSIB approval, it should be clarified in advance.
Commonly, the worker completes Form 6, the employer submits Form 7, and a health professional submits Form 8. WSIB uses these to set up and adjudicate the claim.
Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible and seek medical attention. Your employer has reporting obligations, and WSIB also provides step-by-step submission pathways depending on your situation.
Often yes, but if you’re already in a WSIB program of care or mid-treatment, WSIB may require approval to switch providers. Ask your WSIB case manager or nurse consultant if you’re changing clinics.
You’ll review how the injury happened, job duties, restrictions, then complete a functional assessment (movement, strength, task tolerance). You leave with a plan and clear milestones tied to your work demands.
Employers have reporting obligations in specific situations, but if there are delays you can still submit your worker report and seek guidance directly through WSIB.
It depends on injury type, job demands, and how reactive symptoms are. Most plans are milestone-based: reduce irritability → rebuild capacity → job-specific tolerance → return-to-work progression.
Often yes. WSIB care is commonly structured around safe return-to-work with appropriate restrictions and gradual progression, based on your function and symptoms.
People often worry about paperwork delays or unexpected costs at some clinics. We keep steps clear and set billing expectations early so you can focus on recovery
