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

• Struggling with the frustration of general muscle strains and pulls from overdoing it at the gym or in the garden? Amandeep develops individualized physiotherapy programs specifically aimed at achieving achieving their specific mobility goals, whether big or small. This is key to helping you get back to doing playing in their competitive volleyball league again with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.
• Physiotherapy with Amandeep can be a transformative turning point for those affected by that 'arthritic' pain in my hands, hips, or knees. The shared goal is achieving a noticeable reduction in daily discomfort, making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable, paving the way for you to enjoy standing for longer periods, for example, while cooking or at an event and a more active, vibrant life.
• Amandeep believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If feeling unsteady on my feet or experiencing dizziness and balance problems is hindering your ability to travelling more comfortably on planes, trains, or in cars for longer durations, a personalized plan focusing on better managing flare-ups with personalized strategies and feeling more in control of their symptoms can make all the difference.
• For those whose sharp pain shooting down my leg, feeling a lot like sciatica has made playing a few sets of tennis without shoulder pain seem like a distant memory, Amandeep's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward getting their strength back after surgery or a period of inactivity. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to playing a few sets of tennis without shoulder pain with greater comfort and renewed confidence.

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

The clinic is conveniently located near Cooksville Area Shops and is accessible via MiWay (Mississauga Transit). Please inquire regarding specific accessibility needs for our clinic. Street parking and nearby paid lots offer convenient options for visitors.

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

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows the Physiotherapist to easily access and assess the area being treated, and permits you to move freely for any exercises or movements. For example, shorts are ideal for knee, hip, or ankle issues, while a tank top or loose t-shirt works well for shoulder, neck, or upper back problems. Athletic wear or gym attire is generally a good choice. You may also be provided with a gown if needed.

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

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral. This is known as direct access. However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your first appointment will begin with a thorough assessment. You'll discuss your condition, its history, and your overall health with Amandeep. Amandeep will then perform physical tests to evaluate your movement, strength, and areas of concern. The goal is to fully understand your condition to create a personalized treatment plan. You may also receive your first set of home exercises or some initial hands-on care.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes! Home exercises are crucial for your recovery. Amandeep will provide exercises tailored to your needs to reinforce in-clinic work, manage your condition, and help you progress toward your goals.

What are Pure Physiotherapy's operating hours?

Pure Physiotherapy 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 may vary, so please call the clinic at [Clinic Phone Number] or check their website at [Clinic Website] for the most up-to-date information.

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

OHIP generally does not cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization, for certain demographics) but eligibility is strict. Check your private insurance coverage, as many plans offer significant physiotherapy benefits.

What is Pure Physiotherapy's appointment cancellation policy?

We kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. A fee may be charged for late cancellations or missed appointments. Please contact the clinic as soon as possible if you need to change your appointment.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

While some techniques might cause temporary discomfort or soreness, treatment should not be excessively painful. Amandeep will discuss what to expect and adjust techniques to ensure your comfort.
