It depends on what you consider a "physiotherapy session".

In many locations physiotherapy is not covered by health care, so you would have to pay all the costs anyway.

More details please?

Thanks so much for writing. I really appreciate it
One of my friend is suffering from very very rare physical disability for which no treatment is available anywhere.
He is currently in india & needs no treatments/medication/physiotherapy/occupational therapy whatsover.

But I heard now that disabled like him take physiotherapy/occupational therapy classes in advanced countries like canada.

So I was just confused as to how to prove he is not taking any physiotherapy here in india & wont be taking in canada as well. Please guide

Thanks

What immigration stream is this person going to apply under?

Spousal, family dependent, skilled worker?

The issue is ...

If the "rare physical disability" might reasonably be expected to cause excessive demand on health or social services.

I am not a doctor, so I cannot advise you, all I can provide is an opinion.

You can't prove he is not doing something in India. His personal doctor would need to provide proof that he will continue to be stable.
The DMP may overrule this evidence and decide there will be excessive demand. If so, he will be inadmissible.

The only way to get a answer is for him to take the medical.
