  • Muscle Strains (e.g., Hamstring, Calf, Groin, Quadriceps, Rotator Cuff): Tearing of muscle fibers or the muscle-tendon unit due to overstretching, sudden forceful contraction, or eccentric loading during athletic activity or exertion, commonly known as a 'pulled muscle'.
  • Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome): Dull or aching pain in the front or inner part of the shin that can become sharp with activity, often felt during or after exercise.
  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee / Anterior Knee Pain): Pain felt around, under, or behind the kneecap (patella), often described as a dull ache that is aggravated by activities like running, jumping, squatting, using stairs (especially going down), or prolonged sitting with the knee bent.

Common Musculoskeletal

  • Hip Pain (e.g., Bursitis, Muscle Strains, Labral Issues - conservative): Pain affecting the hip joint and surrounding musculature, which can limit activities like walking, standing for long periods, rising from a chair, or lying on the affected side.
  • Muscle Strains and Tears: A 'pulled' muscle, often occurring during activities like sprinting, jumping, lifting, or sudden changes in direction, causing immediate pain and difficulty using the muscle.

This list offers examples of conditions commonly addressed. Diagnosis for physiotherapist is based on individual assessment, so if your specific concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic. Camille Izzard can assess your needs.

Achieving Your Health Goals with Physiotherapy Care

At Central West LHIN, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Camille Izzard frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

  • Many find that knee pain, especially when going up/down stairs or after a run significantly impacts their ability to dressing myself independently and without difficulty, including shoes and socks. Camille Izzard helps patients target resuming gardening, hobbies, or household tasks without strain or discomfort with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
  • Camille Izzard frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of that nagging tennis elbow (or golfer's elbow) that flares up with activity. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets achieving their specific mobility goals, whether big or small and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like walking up and down several flights of stairs without issue or breathlessness.
  • Living with feeling like my joints are just 'wearing out' and getting harder to move doesn't have to be your norm. Camille Izzard applies expert physiotherapy knowledge to work towards increased endurance for walking, allowing for longer and more enjoyable outings, so you can get back to the simple pleasure of walking their children to school or the park.
  • The path to recovery from that 'arthritic' pain in my hands, hips, or knees and achieving enhanced recovery from post-surgical procedures with fewer complications for managing shopping trips and carrying bags without excessive fatigue or pain often starts with expert guidance. Camille Izzard, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.

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

Frequently Asked Questions about Physiotherapy in Brampton

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?
Your initial physiotherapy appointment is a comprehensive assessment. Your Physiotherapist will start by discussing your medical history, the details of your current symptoms or injury, your concerns, and what you hope to achieve with physiotherapy (your functional goals). This is followed by a thorough physical examination, which may include evaluating your range of motion, strength, posture, balance, and specific movement patterns, as well as performing special tests relevant to your condition. Based on these findings, your therapist will provide a clinical impression or diagnosis, discuss a personalized treatment plan with you, and often begin some initial treatment or provide education and a home exercise program to get you started.
Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
It's difficult to say exactly how many sessions you'll need without a thorough assessment, as everyone's situation and recovery path is unique. Some acute conditions might resolve in just a few sessions, while more chronic, complex, or significant issues may require a longer period of care to achieve lasting results. Your Physiotherapist will provide an estimated treatment timeline and plan after your first visit, and this will be revisited as your treatment progresses.
Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?
While some physiotherapy techniques might feel uncomfortable or cause a temporary increase in soreness (similar to muscle soreness after a new workout), especially when working on stiff joints or tight muscles, it should not be excessively or intolerably painful. Your Physiotherapist will discuss what sensations you might expect with different treatments and will always aim to adjust the intensity and techniques to ensure you are as comfortable as possible while still achieving therapeutic benefits. Constant communication about your comfort level is very important.
What are Central West LHIN'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 for the most current hours and specific practitioner availability.
What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Central West LHIN treat?
Our Physiotherapists treat a wide range of musculoskeletal 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 General Physiotherapy Practice and general physiotherapy. Our treatments often involve Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Assessment, Other Electrotherapy Applications (e.g., NMES, FES), and patient education to help you achieve your functional goals.
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.
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 *do* require one for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. Check your individual insurance policy before your first appointment.
