Motor Vehicle Accident Rehab in Cambridge
Being involved in a motor vehicle accident can place sudden stress on the body. The force of impact may affect muscles, joints, ligaments, and other soft tissues, sometimes causing discomfort, reduced mobility, or lingering symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Our clinic offers physiotherapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and additional services to assist with recovery and functional improvement following a collision.

Customized Care Plans for Recovery
Each patient begins with a comprehensive assessment to better understand the nature and extent of their injuries. Based on this assessment, a personalized care plan is developed using appropriate therapies and services.
You may be eligible for accident-related rehabilitation services regardless of whether you have extended health benefits. Our team helps determine whether injuries fall under the Minor Injury Guideline framework or qualify for additional funding under Ontario auto insurance regulations. Funding and care plans may vary based on the injury’s severity and classification.
We work with individuals experiencing minor, non-catastrophic, and catastrophic injuries, including those who require ongoing support. When attending the clinic is not possible, in-home care options may be available to support continuity of care.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring your claim number, insurance company name, date of loss, police report if available, and a doctor’s referral if applicable.
How long is the initial visit?
The first appointment typically lasts between one and one and a half hours. During this visit, your provider will review your accident history, discuss current symptoms, and complete a physical assessment. This assessment includes screening for signs that may require further medical attention.
What are Minor Injury Guidelines, and how do they affect care?
The Minor Injury Guideline is a pre-approved framework under Ontario auto insurance that applies to specific injuries, including sprains, strains, and certain whiplash-associated disorders. Care under this guideline has a defined funding limit and set duration. Injuries outside this framework may qualify for different levels of funding and extended care options.
Insurance and Direct Billing
Do you offer direct billing for auto insurance?
Yes. Helios Physiotherapy and Rehab offers direct billing to auto insurance providers through the Health Claims for Auto Insurance system. Our clinic operates in accordance with the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario requirements and follows applicable Ministry guidelines.
In many cases, eligible services can be submitted directly to your insurer, which may reduce upfront costs and help avoid reimbursement delays, depending on claim details and insurer approval.
In-Home Chiropractic Care Available
For Cambridge residents who are unable to attend clinic appointments, in-home chiropractic care may be available. This option allows patients to receive accident-related rehabilitation services at home when appropriate. Care is provided based on individual needs and clinical suitability.
