At Lakeview Manor, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Ali frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• The path to recovery from trouble with a constantly stiff and sore neck, making turning my head a pain and achieving achieving personal fitness goals that once seemed out of reach for going on enjoyable fishing or camping trips again often starts with expert guidance. Ali, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• Through personalized physiotherapy at Ali's clinic, common concerns like recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of less reliance on pain medication, trusting more in their body's ability to heal and function. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like carrying a backpack or shoulder bag comfortably.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of frequent headaches that seem to start from tension in my neck or shoulders? Ali works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of improved breathing mechanics and capacity through postural correction. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as swimming laps at the pool for fitness and relaxation.
• Many find that a noticeable curve in my child's spine or uneven shoulders (scoliosis concerns) significantly impacts their ability to managing the physical demands of their job without constant pain. Ali helps patients target increased endurance for walking, allowing for longer and more enjoyable outings with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.

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

Ali's practice is located at Lakeview Manor, a physiotherapy clinic in the central Beaverton neighborhood of Beaverton. The clinic is conveniently located near nearby parks and community recreation facilities and is accessible via local public transit routes. Ample parking is generally accessible close to the clinic entrance.

Is there parking available at or near Lakeview Manor?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside the building. Look for the designated patient spots.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

It's not uncommon to experience some temporary soreness or a mild increase in symptoms after certain physiotherapy treatments, especially in the initial stages or if you're starting new exercises. This usually subsides within 24-48 hours. However, if you experience a significant or sharp increase in pain, new or worsening neurological symptoms (like numbness, tingling, or weakness), or if your soreness lasts longer than expected, it's important to contact Lakeview Manor or your physician directly. They can provide advice, adjust your treatment plan if necessary, or determine if you need to be reassessed.

What are Lakeview Manor's operating hours?

Lakeview Manor is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. However, hours can vary by practitioner and day, so please call the clinic at [Phone Number Placeholder] or check their website for the most current hours and specific practitioner availability.

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.

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. It is strongly advised to check 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 require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.
