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

• Patients often come to Anamika Artwani feeling defeated by feeling unsteady on my feet or experiencing dizziness and balance problems. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur and resuming engaging in volunteer work that might have physical demands becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• Don't let recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) dictate what you can and cannot do. Anamika Artwani offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at seeing their child achieve developmental milestones with greater ease (for pediatric physio), helping you reclaim handling their job that involves frequent standing, walking, or bending and enjoy a more functional life.
• For those whose persistent dizziness that isn't a spinning vertigo but makes me feel unsteady has made managing the physical demands of their job without constant pain seem like a distant memory, Anamika Artwani's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward being able to play actively with their children or grandchildren again. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to managing the physical demands of their job without constant pain with greater comfort and renewed confidence.
• If trouble with a constantly stiff and sore neck, making turning my head a pain is preventing you from fully enjoying performing self-care tasks like hair washing or reaching their back, Anamika Artwani offers expert guidance and tailored treatment. Physiotherapy focuses on attaining developing better body awareness and understanding of healthy movement patterns, often utilizing targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education to help you regain your previous level of function.

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

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

To make your first appointment as smooth and productive as possible, please consider bringing: your health card, any doctor's referral letter (if applicable), results or reports of any imaging tests (X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs) related to your current condition, a list of any medications you are currently taking, and your extended health benefits information (insurance card/policy number) for direct billing if available at our clinic. Wearing comfortable clothes is also a good idea.

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

In Ontario, you 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. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

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 children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility is strict. Check your private insurance for coverage.

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

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is best. Shorts are helpful for lower-body issues, and a tank top or loose t-shirt is suitable for upper-body issues.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes, absolutely! Physiotherapy can identify risk factors and address them through targeted exercises and education to reduce injury risk and manage chronic conditions.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, you will almost always receive a customized home exercise program to help you achieve your goals faster and maintain improvements.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions needed varies depending on your individual situation. Your Physiotherapist will provide an estimated timeline after your first visit.
