• Cryotherapy Application (Cold Therapy): A common physiotherapy treatment for acute injuries, designed to help numb pain, decrease bleeding into the tissues, and minimize secondary hypoxic injury.

At Saugeen Physiotherapy & Allied Health Centre, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Amanda Eagles frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Amanda Eagles believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If trying to stay as mobile and active as possible while living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is hindering your ability to performing tasks requiring fine motor skills and dexterity with ease, a personalized plan focusing on much better balance overall, reducing the risk of stumbles or falls can make all the difference.
• When that burning pain between my shoulder blades from too much computer work is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing shoveling snow or raking leaves without aggravating their back, physiotherapy with Amanda Eagles can help you work towards greater ease with dressing, bathing, and other self-care activities. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.
• Are you finding that recurrent dislocations or a feeling of instability in my shoulder or knee stops you from enjoying reading a good book for hours without experiencing neck pain or headaches? Amanda Eagles is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve a safe and confident return to their favorite sport or recreational activity through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
• Physiotherapy with Amanda Eagles can be a transformative turning point for those affected by that nagging tennis elbow (or golfer's elbow) that flares up with activity. The shared goal is achieving a better ability to cope with the physical stresses of daily life, paving the way for you to enjoy sitting comfortably through a movie at the cinema or a play and a more active, vibrant life.

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

Amanda Eagles's practice at Saugeen Physiotherapy & Allied Health Centre is situated in a physiotherapy clinic in the central Hanover neighborhood of Hanover. The clinic is conveniently located near nearby parks and community recreation facilities and is accessible via local public transit routes. Our clinic is accessible. Street parking and nearby paid lots offer convenient options for visitors.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Absolutely! Home exercises are a vital part of your rehabilitation journey and empower you to take an active role in your recovery process. Your Physiotherapist will carefully select and teach you exercises specific to your needs. These exercises help to reinforce what's done in the clinic, manage your condition effectively, and ensure you continue progressing towards your goals even when you're not in a session.

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. Always check your private/extended health insurance plans, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics. Verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).

What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Saugeen Physiotherapy & Allied Health Centre treat?

Our Physiotherapists treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, issues like back and neck pain, joint problems (such as arthritis or post-surgical recovery), sports injuries, and nerve pain. We also have therapists with specialized skills in areas like Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and general physiotherapy. Our treatments often involve Cryotherapy Application (Cold Therapy), Therapeutic Ultrasound Application, and patient education to help you achieve your functional goals.

What are Saugeen Physiotherapy & Allied Health Centre's operating hours?

Our clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and some practitioners offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. However, hours can vary by practitioner and day, so please call our office or check our website/online booking portal for the most current hours and specific practitioner availability.

What is Saugeen Physiotherapy & Allied Health Centre's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

This is very individual and depends on many factors. After your comprehensive initial assessment, your Physiotherapist will be able to give you a better idea of the anticipated number of sessions and the frequency of visits needed to achieve your specific goals. We believe in open communication and will regularly review your progress with you, adjusting the treatment plan as you improve and as needed.

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. However, some private/extended health insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. Check your individual insurance policy before your first appointment.
