Recover at Work. Return with Confidence.
Workplace Injury Rehabilitation (WSIB)
A workplace injury can affect more than your body. It can affect your income, your routine, and your confidence. At Port Credit Physio & Rehab, we help injured workers recover safely and return to work, while taking the stress out of the WSIB process. As a Registered WSIB Provider in Port Credit, we handle the clinical paperwork and direct bill WSIB, so you can focus entirely on your recovery. The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) is a provincial agency in Ontario that provides support and insurance for workers who have been injured on the job or have developed an occupational illness. For approved claims, WSIB covers the cost of healthcare, including physiotherapy, to help you recover and return to work.

Our WSIB Recovery Process
We take the stress out of your claim by handling the clinical paperwork and providing direct billing, so you can focus entirely on your healing.
Initial Assessment
Your recovery begins with a comprehensive evaluation by a physiotherapist in Mississauga. We assess your injury, document the functional limitations related to your job, and design a customized treatment plan tailored to your workplace demands.
WSIB Documentation & Approval
Navigating claims can be complex. We help by submitting the required health professional's report (Form 8) and clinical reports directly to WSIB to streamline your approval process.
Evidence-Based Treatment
Once your claim is active, we use evidence-based techniques, including the McKenzie Method®, manual therapy, and functional strengthening, to reduce pain and restore your ability to work.
Collaborative Return-to-Work Plan
We act as the bridge between you, your employer, and your WSIB case manager. Our goal is a safe, gradual, and successful return to your job duties, supported by specific corrective strategies and functional recommendations.

Workplace Injury Rehabilitation (WSIB) FAQs
Do I need to see a doctor before starting physiotherapy for a WSIB claim?
No. In Ontario, you can see a registered physiotherapist directly, and we can submit the health professional's report to WSIB on your behalf.
Can I choose my own physiotherapy clinic for WSIB?
Yes. Injured workers in Ontario generally have the right to choose their own health professional. You can choose Port Credit Physio & Rehab regardless of where you work.
Will I have to pay anything?
For approved WSIB claims, we direct bill WSIB, so there are no out-of-pocket costs for your treatment.
What if my WSIB claim isn't approved yet?
We can often begin your assessment while your claim is being processed. Our team will explain your options, including how treatment is handled if your claim is delayed or denied, before you start.
What if my WSIB claim is denied?
You may be able to appeal WSIB's decision. Physiotherapy may also be covered by your extended health benefits. We'll help you understand your options.
Will my employer be involved?
With your consent, we communicate with your employer and WSIB case manager to coordinate modified duties and a safe, gradual return to work.
