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

• Struggling with the frustration of recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID)? Danielle develops individualized physiotherapy programs specifically aimed at achieving improved overall mobility, making it easier to navigate their home and community. This is key to helping you get back to doing challenging myself with indoor or outdoor rock climbing with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.
• Danielle frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of my child walking on their toes most of the time. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets regaining full function in an injured area, enabling a return to cherished activities and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like simply enjoying leisurely daily walks around their neighborhood for fresh air.
• Many individuals seek help from Danielle, their physiotherapist, when an awkward gait or limping when I walk starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve the ability to sit for longer periods (e.g., at a desk, in a car) without significant discomfort, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like taking long photography walks to capture nature or cityscapes.
• The path to recovery from managing stiffness, tremors, and movement challenges with Parkinson's disease and achieving a noticeable improvement in their gait and walking efficiency for returning to a specific physical hobby they had to give up due to pain often starts with expert guidance. Danielle, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.

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

What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Striowski & Associates Physiotherapy treat?

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

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. We recommend you contact your insurance provider directly before your first appointment to understand the specifics of your plan. Key things to check are: your annual maximum for physiotherapy, any per-visit limits or co-payments, whether a doctor's referral is required for reimbursement, and if your plan allows for direct billing by the clinic. If Striowski & Associates Physiotherapy offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can often bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You would then be responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance not covered by your plan at the time of service. Please bring your insurance card and all necessary policy details to your first appointment. If direct billing is not possible, we will provide you with an official receipt that you can submit to your insurer.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, in almost all cases, you will receive a customized home exercise program. These exercises are carefully chosen by your Physiotherapist to specifically target your issues and help you achieve your functional goals faster and more effectively. Performing them as recommended is very important for your progress and for maintaining the improvements you make during your clinic visits.

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

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a physician's referral (direct access). However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

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

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization), but eligibility is strict. Check your private insurance for coverage and verify your eligibility with OHIP directly.
