At Body n' Balance Physio & Wellness Clinic, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Corinne frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many find that feeling like my posture is hunched or rounded, causing discomfort significantly impacts their ability to participating in community events and social gatherings more actively. Corinne helps patients target improved joint health and a slowing of degenerative processes through better biomechanics with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Living with that grinding or crunching feeling in my knee or shoulder doesn't have to be your norm. Corinne applies expert physiotherapy knowledge to work towards the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur, so you can get back to the simple pleasure of cycling longer distances with their cycling club.
• Patients struggling with difficulty coordinating my movements, feeling clumsy can find dedicated and compassionate support from Corinne. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving resuming gardening, hobbies, or household tasks without strain or discomfort, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as participating in water aerobics or other pool-based exercises.
• If recurrent dislocations or a feeling of instability in my shoulder or knee is preventing you from fully enjoying attending their favorite yoga and pilates classes without limitation, Corinne offers expert guidance and tailored treatment. Physiotherapy focuses on attaining a better understanding of ergonomics for their work and home environment, often utilizing targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education to help you regain your previous level of function.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Corinne, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. We recommend you contact your insurance provider directly before your first appointment to understand the specifics of your plan. Key things to check are: your annual maximum for physiotherapy, any per-visit limits or co-payments, whether a doctor's referral is required for reimbursement, and if your plan allows for direct billing by the clinic. If Body n' Balance Physio & Wellness Clinic offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can often bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You would then be responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance not covered by your plan at the time of service. Please bring your insurance card and all necessary policy details to your first appointment. If direct billing is not possible, we will provide you with an official receipt that you can submit to your insurer.

How can I book an appointment at Body n' Balance Physio & Wellness Clinic?

You can book an appointment by calling our clinic directly at (705) 429-9619 during our business hours. Our friendly reception team will be happy to assist you in finding a suitable appointment time with the right physiotherapist for your needs.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics for most of the population. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization for certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility criteria are strict and there may be waitlists. We strongly advise checking your private insurance for private clinic coverage.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in ON?

Patients in ON can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a physician's referral (direct access). However, some private/extended health insurance plans *do* require one for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

In physiotherapy, manual therapy encompasses a range of 'hands-on' interventions. Your Physiotherapist may use these techniques to help reduce your pain, increase joint movement, relax tight muscles, or improve the mobility of your nerves. Common approaches include joint glides, sustained pressures, specific soft tissue massage, and, when indicated, joint manipulations. It's a key part of helping your body move better.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Essentially, physiotherapy helps you get moving and stay moving effectively and comfortably. Whether you're dealing with an acute injury, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, or a condition affecting your physical abilities, your Physiotherapist will work with you. They'll use their expertise in body mechanics, rehabilitation, and pain management to create a personalized treatment plan involving exercises, hands-on techniques, and practical advice to help you achieve your functional goals and live a more active, fulfilling life.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

It's recommended to wear or bring clothing that allows unrestricted movement and provides easy access for your physiotherapist to examine the body part being assessed or treated. For instance, if you have a knee problem, please wear or bring shorts. For shoulder issues, a sleeveless top or a top with loose armholes is often helpful. The goal is to make the assessment and treatment as effective as possible.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

During your first visit, the Physiotherapist will conduct a detailed evaluation to get a full picture of your condition. This usually involves a thorough discussion about your symptoms, how they impact your daily life, any relevant medical history, and your personal goals for therapy. A physical assessment will then be performed to help pinpoint the cause of your problem and assess your physical capabilities. Afterwards, your therapist will explain their findings, collaborate with you to set treatment goals, and outline a proposed plan of care. You'll likely receive some initial advice, exercises, or hands-on treatment to begin your recovery journey.
