Achieving Your Health Goals with Physiotherapy Care

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

  • When trouble with everyday tasks because of pain or weakness in my hands or grip is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing working at their desk all day without developing back or neck stiffness, physiotherapy with Brittany can help you work towards restoring normal movement patterns essential for everyday tasks. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.
  • Patients struggling with recurrent dislocations or a feeling of instability in my shoulder or knee can find dedicated and compassionate support from Brittany. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving feeling empowered to take control of their physical health journey, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as attending their favorite yoga and pilates classes without limitation.
  • The journey to feeling less fatigued during physical activities and throughout the day when faced with persistent my child complaining of 'growing pains' that keep them up at night is made smoother and more effective with Brittany's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like swimming laps at the pool for fitness and relaxation.
  • Dealing with the ongoing challenges of dealing with pelvic pain or bladder/bowel control issues (for both men and women)? Brittany works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as playing actively and roughhousing with their young kids or grandkids.

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

Frequently Asked Questions about Physiotherapy in Chatham-Kent

Is there parking available at or near Peach Physiotherapy and Wellness?
Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for the designated patient spots.
Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?
The primary goal of physiotherapy is generally to reduce pain and improve function, not to cause significant or lasting pain. Some assessment techniques or specific treatments (like deep soft tissue work, joint mobilization, or certain exercises) might cause mild, temporary discomfort or soreness, especially if the tissues being treated are sensitive, inflamed, or very stiff. However, your Physiotherapist will always work within your tolerance levels, communicate clearly about what to expect, and encourage open feedback. If you experience notable or unacceptable pain during treatment, please inform your therapist immediately so adjustments can be made to ensure your comfort.
What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?
The first physiotherapy session is primarily an in-depth assessment. Expect to spend time talking with your Physiotherapist about your specific issue, its history, and your overall health background. Your therapist will then perform various physical tests to assess your movement, strength, and any areas of concern. The main goal of this first visit is to understand your condition fully so that a tailored and effective treatment plan can be developed collaboratively with you. You might also receive your first set of home exercises or some initial hands-on care to start the healing process.
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.
How can I book an appointment at Peach Physiotherapy and Wellness?
You can book an appointment by calling our clinic directly at (519) 358-7342 during our business hours. Our friendly reception team will be happy to assist you in finding a suitable appointment time with the right physiotherapist for your needs.
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. Check your private insurance for private clinic coverage.
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 (direct access). However, some private/extended health insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.
