Back pain★★★★★

Came here for a lower back issue that had been nagging me for a while. What I appreciated most is Dhiman didn’t just treat the pain — he actually explained what was going on with my back and why it was happening. The focus was on strengthening it so it doesn’t keep coming back, not just quick relief. I left each session actually understanding my body better. Would definitely recommend if you’re dealing with back pain in Hamilton.

Shoulder & elbow★★★★★

I chose Interlink Physiotherapy based on glowing reviews and found them fully deserved. My doctor referred me for persistent shoulder pain spanning several months, which an ultrasound diagnosed as bursitis and tendinitis. Dhiman patiently outlined my recovery expectations and timeline, while attentively addressing my concurrent elbow injury. He crafted a tailored program that accelerated my healing, ensuring I never felt hurried or unheard.

Ankle injury★★★★★

Super helpful and always very friendly! Went here for an ankle injury and found lots of improvement in the time I was here. They are also always on time and I have never had to wait. They’re in the Hamilton/Ancaster area, definitely check them out if you need physio!

Workplace injury★★★★★

I came in with a workplace injury on my foot and was having trouble with mobility and pain. Dhiman was incredibly professional and passionate with his approach on my care plan. Over the weeks he helped me improve my pain and mobility allowing me to get back to full hours and duties on my job. I highly recommend him since he takes the time to listen and explain things clearly so we as clients can understand the injury and process on healing. Thank you for much for getting me back to myself.

Free Assessment and First Treatment in Ancaster

What many benefit plans cover each year3 to 5 visits
What a typical recovery plan takes6 to 8 visits
What your first visit costs you$0

Most benefit plans only cover a handful of physiotherapy visits a year. A full recovery usually takes more than that. So your first visit is free. You get a full assessment and your first treatment, and we do not bill your insurance for it. Your coverage stays for the visits that follow. If you do not need physiotherapy, we will tell you.

Book Online

New patients only. The free visit is not billed to any insurer. Treatment is given only where it is clinically appropriate. There is no obligation to continue.

What to expect

Your First Visit, Step by Step

Ancaster Physiotherapy FAQs

Where is your Ancaster physiotherapy clinic?

Interlink Physiotherapy is at 1280 Mohawk Rd #103 in Ancaster, L9G 3K9, on Mohawk Road just east of the Meadowlands shopping area. Free parking is right outside our door.

Is my first visit really free?

Yes. New patients get a full assessment and their first treatment at no charge, and we do not bill your insurance for it. There is no obligation to book anything after. If you do not need treatment, we will tell you.

How much does physiotherapy cost in Ancaster?

Your first visit is free. After that, follow-up visits are $95 for 30 minutes. We check your coverage with you first and tell you the exact fee before you book anything, so there is never a surprise bill. With direct billing, you pay only the part your plan does not cover.

Do I need a doctor's referral to book?

No. In Ontario you can see a physiotherapist directly. Some extended health plans still ask for a referral before they reimburse you. We can help you check whether yours does.

Do you offer direct billing to my insurance?

Yes. We bill most major insurers directly, including Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, GreenShield and Desjardins. You pay only any part your plan does not cover. If your plan is not on the list, we give you a receipt you can submit yourself.

Is physiotherapy covered by OHIP?

OHIP covers physiotherapy only at designated clinics and only for certain groups, usually people 65 and older, people 19 and under, and people recently discharged from hospital after related surgery. Interlink is a private clinic and does not bill OHIP. Most of our patients use extended health benefits, WSIB or auto insurance. Your first visit is free either way.

What happens at my first appointment?

The visit is one on one with a registered physiotherapist and runs about 60 minutes. We listen to your history and what you want to get back to, then do a hands on assessment to find the cause of the problem. You get treatment the same visit and leave knowing what is going on, what the plan looks like, and roughly how long recovery takes.

Wear clothing you can move in. Shorts help for knee, hip and ankle problems, and a loose top for shoulder, neck and back problems. Bring your insurance card, and your claim number if you have a WSIB or auto claim.

Will I see the same physiotherapist every visit?

Yes. You see the same registered physiotherapist from your first visit to your last. You will not be handed to an assistant, and we never book two patients into the same time slot.

How soon can I get an appointment?

Most new patients are seen within a few days. Evening appointments are available by request. Book online to see the next open times, or call 289-205-8255.

Do you treat WSIB and car accident injuries?

Yes. We are a WSIB provider and we treat motor vehicle accident injuries through auto insurance. We handle the reporting and the paperwork for both. See our WSIB physiotherapy page and our car accident physiotherapy page for details.

Which areas do you serve besides Ancaster?

Patients come to us from across Ancaster and from Hamilton, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Binbrook, Waterdown, Mount Hope and Copetown. Our Hamilton page has drive times from the Mountain, Westdale and Dundas.
