At Blanche River Health, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Ejiro frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- Dealing with the ongoing challenges of hip pain when I walk, climb stairs, or try to sleep on my side? Ejiro works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of improved overall mobility, making it easier to navigate their home and community. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as engaging in volunteer work that might have physical demands.
- Patients often come to Ejiro feeling defeated by trying to get back to my best after a frustrating sports injury. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving a deeper understanding of their condition and how to manage it proactively for long-term well-being and resuming managing shopping trips and carrying bags without excessive fatigue or pain becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
- Ejiro believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If an old ankle sprain that never seems to fully heal and still feels weak is hindering your ability to playing a full game of recreational hockey with their friends, a personalized plan focusing on greater confidence when walking, standing, or navigating challenging environments can make all the difference.
- With Ejiro's help, managing pain and difficulty with overhead movements like reaching into a cupboard to achieve feeling empowered to take control of their physical health journey becomes a clear journey, allowing patients to confidently re-engage with life and activities like travelling more comfortably on planes, trains, or in cars for longer durations.
Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Ejiro, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

- 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 and verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with OHIP.

- Ample free patient parking is available directly in front of and beside the building. Look for the designated patient spots.
- What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?
- Manual therapy involves skilled, hands-on treatments performed by your Physiotherapist as part of your overall physiotherapy plan. These techniques are designed to assess and treat your joints, muscles, and nerves to decrease pain and improve your mobility and function. Examples include specific joint mobilizations to improve movement, soft tissue release techniques to address muscle tightness or scar tissue, and sometimes manipulations (adjustments) if indicated and appropriate for your condition and your therapist's qualifications.
- 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.
