MVA physiotherapy rehabilitation at Total Wellness Rehab Brampton Ontario

If you've been in a motor vehicle accident in Brampton or the GTA, physiotherapy is one of the most important steps toward full recovery — and in Ontario, your auto insurance is designed to cover it.

Your Rights Under Ontario SABS

Ontario's Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule entitles drivers, passengers, cyclists and pedestrians to rehabilitation benefits after a collision — regardless of who was at fault. This includes physiotherapy and massage therapy.

Common Injuries After a Car Accident

  • Whiplash and neck sprain
  • Lower back pain
  • Shoulder and rotator cuff injuries
  • Headaches and concussion symptoms
  • Soft tissue strains throughout the body

How MVA Physiotherapy Works at Our Clinic

We submit OCF-18 treatment plans to your auto insurer, provide direct billing and coordinate care across physiotherapy and advanced modalities like shockwave and laser therapy when clinically appropriate.

What to Bring to Your First Visit

Bring your insurance information, claim or file number, government ID and any accident-related medical records. Our team guides you through the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer to access MVA physiotherapy benefits?

No. Basic Statutory Accident Benefits (SABS) are available regardless of fault. You can begin physiotherapy without a lawyer, though legal help may be useful for complex claims.

How soon after a car accident should I start physiotherapy?

As soon as possible — ideally within the first week. Early treatment reduces the risk of chronic pain and speeds recovery from whiplash and soft tissue injuries.

Will I pay out of pocket for MVA rehab?

No. Approved treatment under your auto insurance plan is billed directly to your insurer. Total Wellness Rehab handles OCF forms and direct billing.
