Sports Injury

• Ligament Sprains (e.g., ACL, MCL, PCL, Ankle Ligaments): Damage to ligaments that can range from mild (Grade 1 - overstretched) to moderate (Grade 2 - partial tear) to severe (Grade 3 - complete tear), impacting joint integrity and function.

• Muscle Strains (e.g., Hamstring, Calf, Groin, Quadriceps, Rotator Cuff): Common athletic injuries affecting major muscle groups such as the hamstrings, calves, groin (adductors), quadriceps, or rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder.

Post Surgical

• Post-Knee Replacement Rehabilitation (Total or Partial Knee Arthroplasty - TKA/PKA): The crucial rehabilitation phase following total or partial knee replacement surgery, with physiotherapy focusing on restoring range of motion, building strength, improving balance, managing pain and swelling, and enabling functional mobility (e.g., walking, stairs, getting in/out of a car).

• Post-ACL or Other Knee Ligament Reconstruction Rehabilitation: Guiding your rehabilitation journey after ACL or other ligament surgery, from early post-operative care to advanced sport-specific training and return-to-play testing.
• Post-Hip Replacement Rehabilitation (Total or Partial Hip Arthroplasty - THA/PHA): Guidance on hip precautions (if applicable for your surgical approach), a progressive exercise program, and functional retraining after hip surgery to help you achieve your goals.

Peripheral Nerve

• Nerve Entrapments / Compressions (e.g., Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Sciatica, Meralgia Paresthetica): Alleviating symptoms and improving function for individuals with entrapped nerves through conservative physiotherapy management, helping to avoid more invasive interventions.
• Peripheral Neuropathy (e.g., Diabetic, Chemotherapy-Induced, Idiopathic): Addressing the physical consequences of nerve damage in the limbs through targeted exercises (e.g., for balance, strength, desensitization), sensory re-education, and advice on appropriate footwear or assistive devices.

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

• Alysia believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If general muscle strains and pulls from overdoing it at the gym or in the garden is hindering your ability to easily carrying groceries in from the car in one or two trips, a personalized plan focusing on regaining full function in an injured area, enabling a return to cherished activities can make all the difference.
• Many find that post-operative stiffness and weakness that's slowing down my recovery significantly impacts their ability to joining in on pickup basketball games at the local court. Alysia helps patients target achieving personal fitness goals that once seemed out of reach with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• It's truly rewarding for Alysia to witness patients conquer awful foot pain first thing in the morning, like I'm walking on glass (plantar fasciitis) and experience enjoying less stiffness in the mornings and throughout the day. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in reaching for items on high shelves or in cupboards without shoulder strain again.
• Living with shoulder pain that makes simple things like lifting my arm or reaching overhead difficult doesn't have to be your norm. Alysia applies expert physiotherapy knowledge to work towards feeling more resilient and less vulnerable to minor strains or injuries, so you can get back to the simple pleasure of attending their favorite yoga and pilates classes without limitation.

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

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

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is best for your physiotherapy appointment – think about what you might wear to a gym or for light exercise. If you're being treated for a lower-body issue (like hip or knee pain), shorts are very helpful. For upper-body issues (like shoulder or neck pain), a tank top or loose t-shirt is suitable so the Physiotherapist can properly examine and treat the area.

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 recommended to check your private insurance for coverage of services in private clinics.

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

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

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions needed varies greatly depending on individual needs. After your initial assessment, Alysia will provide a better estimate of the number and frequency of visits required to meet your goals. Your progress will be regularly reviewed, and the treatment plan adjusted as needed.

Is there parking available at or near Neuphysio Rehabilitation?

Street parking is available near the clinic. There are also paid parking lots in the vicinity.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?
