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

• Discover how physiotherapy with Anjali Tatariya can help you move beyond my child complaining of 'growing pains' that keep them up at night. The focus is on more comfortable and efficient movement when transitioning between positions (e.g., sit to stand), enabling a joyful return to the activities you love, such as attending their favorite yoga and pilates classes without limitation.
• Tired of my baby/child having trouble with their motor skills, like delayed rolling, sitting or walking interfering with getting back to cycling for leisure or commuting? Anjali Tatariya uses a blend of physiotherapy techniques to help you achieve restoring normal movement patterns essential for everyday tasks and regain your freedom of movement.
• Many individuals seek help from Anjali Tatariya, their physiotherapist, when shoulder pain that makes simple things like lifting my arm or reaching overhead difficult starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve running their usual distance comfortably and with improved form, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like carrying a backpack or shoulder bag comfortably.
• It's truly rewarding for Anjali Tatariya to witness patients conquer difficulty with fine motor skills like buttoning shirts or writing due to hand pain and experience getting their strength back after surgery or a period of inactivity. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in returning to a specific physical hobby they had to give up due to pain again.

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

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

In Ontario, you typically do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. This is known as direct access. However, even though a referral isn't legally required to schedule an appointment, some extended health insurance plans may require one for coverage. It's crucial to check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements for physiotherapy coverage.

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

It's recommended to wear or bring clothing that allows unrestricted movement and provides easy access for your physiotherapist to examine the body part being assessed or treated. For instance, if you have a knee problem, please wear or bring shorts. For shoulder issues, a sleeveless top or a top with loose armholes is often helpful. The goal is to make the assessment and treatment as effective as possible.

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

Physiotherapy services in private clinics are generally not covered by OHIP. While OHIP may cover physiotherapy in certain situations, such as after a hospital stay for specific conditions or for certain groups (children, youth, seniors) through publicly funded programs like Community Physiotherapy Clinics or Family Health Teams, eligibility criteria are strict and there may be waitlists. To determine coverage, check directly with OHIP and your private health insurance provider, as many private plans offer significant coverage for physiotherapy in private clinics.

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.

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

Some temporary post-treatment soreness can be normal, much like after a good workout. However, if your pain significantly worsens, if you develop new concerning symptoms, or if the discomfort doesn't settle down within a day or two, please call us. Your Physiotherapist would want to know so they can offer guidance and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan. Open communication is key to your successful recovery.
