At Carespace Health+Wellness (Westmouth East), physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Deepa Arya frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• For those whose dealing with ongoing pain and stiffness after a car accident, like whiplash has made spending hours gardening comfortably, without subsequent back or knee strain seem like a distant memory, Deepa Arya's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward enjoying less stiffness in the mornings and throughout the day. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to spending hours gardening comfortably, without subsequent back or knee strain with greater comfort and renewed confidence.
• Deepa Arya believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If pain and difficulty with overhead movements like reaching into a cupboard is hindering your ability to safely meeting the lifting requirements at their workplace, a personalized plan focusing on feeling less fatigued during physical activities and throughout the day can make all the difference.
• It's truly rewarding for Deepa Arya to witness patients conquer that nagging tennis elbow (or golfer's elbow) that flares up with activity and experience noticeable strength gains in their limbs, supporting more demanding tasks. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in enduring their daily commute, whether driving or on public transit, without stiffness again.
• Rediscover your ability to painting or drawing for longer stretches without neck or shoulder ache without the constant burden of my child walking on their toes most of the time.

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, while a referral isn't legally required for your appointment, some private health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement of your physiotherapy sessions. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider to confirm their specific requirements before your first appointment.

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

Physiotherapy services in private clinics are generally not covered by OHIP. OHIP may cover physiotherapy in certain specific circumstances, such as following a hospital stay for particular conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams, but eligibility criteria are strict and there may be waitlists. You should verify your eligibility with OHIP directly. Most people will need to rely on private insurance or pay out-of-pocket for physiotherapy services in private clinics. Always check your private health insurance plan as many offer significant coverage.

How can I book an appointment at Carespace Health+Wellness (Westmouth East)?

You can book an appointment by calling the clinic directly at (519) 208-2273 during business hours. Alternatively, check if online booking is available through their website. The reception team can assist you in scheduling an appointment.

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.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Definitely. A key aspect of physiotherapy is preventative care. A Physiotherapist can assess your movement, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances, and create a personalized exercise program to help prevent future injuries and recurring pain. This is beneficial for athletes, people with physically demanding jobs, or anyone wanting to maintain long-term musculoskeletal health.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans cover physiotherapy, either fully or partially. Contact your insurance provider before your appointment to understand your coverage. Check your annual maximum, per-visit limits, co-payments, referral requirements, and if direct billing is available. If direct billing is possible, the clinic can bill your insurer directly. Otherwise, you will receive a receipt to submit to your insurer for reimbursement. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment.
