Where Expertise Meets Compassion
A Modern Approach to Pain Relief
Pain, muscle tightness, and inflammation can make it difficult to stay active and recover from injury. Electrotherapy uses controlled electrical stimulation to help relieve discomfort, reduce muscle spasms, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing process. It can be an effective treatment for both acute injuries and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
At Queenston Physiotherapy & Wellness, electrotherapy is incorporated into individualized treatment plans based on your specific condition and recovery goals. Following a comprehensive assessment, our therapists determine when this modality can provide the greatest benefit while supporting your overall rehabilitation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during physiotherapy sessions?
Physiotherapy sessions typically involve an assessment of your condition, manual techniques to improve mobility and flexibility, individualized exercises and activities to help you reach your goals, education on how to prevent further injury or pain, and instruction on proper posture, body mechanics and other lifestyle changes.
Do I need a referral from my doctor before attending Physiotherapy?
In Ontario, you can directly access physiotherapy without a doctor’s referral for private treatment, as physiotherapists are recognized as primary healthcare practitioners. You can call a clinic and book an appointment immediately, though some extended health insurance plans may still require a physician referral for reimbursement purposes.
What do I need to wear or bring with me?
You should dress in comfortable, loose clothing that allows you to move easily and doesn’t restrict circulation. Depending on your condition, your physiotherapist may also recommend special shoes or a brace. You should also bring any paperwork related to your medical history, including x-rays, ultrasounds, and doctor’s notes.
Is there anything I can do before my appointment to prepare?
Yes! Make sure you arrive for your session well-rested so that you can give it your full attention and energy. It is also helpful if you keep track of how much pain medication (if any) you take prior to the appointment so that the physiotherapist can adjust the intensity of treatment accordingly.
How long will my physiotherapy sessions last?
Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes depending on your condition and the types of techniques used. Your physiotherapist will give you an estimate when you first arrive for your appointment.
Are there any exercises I can do at home between appointments to help improve my condition?
Yes! Your physiotherapist may provide specific exercise recommendations for you to try in between visits, which will help speed up your recovery and progress faster toward reaching your goals. It’s important to follow these carefully and always check with your PT before starting a new exercise program if you have any questions or concerns.
What if I have questions after my physiotherapy session?
Your physiotherapist should be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your treatment plan before and after each visit. You can also contact the clinic directly for further assistance. We want you to get the most out of every session!
Will insurance cover my physiotherapy?
It depends on your insurance plan. Most plans cover some or all of the costs associated with physiotherapy, but you should check with your provider to determine coverage and any associated fees.
How often will I need to attend physiotherapy sessions?
The frequency of visits will depend on your individual goals and condition, but typically it is recommended that patients attend 2-3 times per week for a minimum of 4-6 weeks in order to maximize results. Your therapist will provide more details during your initial appointment.
How long will it take for me to see results?
Every person’s situation is unique; therefore the amount of time needed to reach goals varies. With commitment and dedication from both you and your physiotherapist, you can expect to start seeing results within a few weeks. The more positive lifestyle changes you make, the faster your progress will be!
Will my physiotherapist be able to answer any questions I have about my condition?
Yes! Your physiotherapist should be available to discuss any concerns or questions you have regarding your condition or treatment plan. Don’t hesitate to bring up any issues that may arise during the course of therapy.
What if I feel too much pain during a session?
If at any time during your physiotherapy session you experience increased pain, it’s important to let your therapist know so they can adjust the intensity or technique as necessary. Your therapist will work with you to make sure that treatment is comfortable and effective for you.
How will I know when I no longer need physiotherapy?
Your physiotherapist should be able to provide guidance on when it is appropriate to stop attending physiotherapy sessions based on your progress, goals, and overall health status. It’s important to listen to your therapist and continue with treatment until they feel you are ready to move on.
