At Physio-Logic, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Grace Wong frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• The path to recovery from shoulder pain that makes simple things like lifting my arm or reaching overhead difficult and achieving getting their strength back after surgery or a period of inactivity for painting or drawing for longer stretches without neck or shoulder ache often starts with expert guidance. Grace Wong, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• Physiotherapy with Grace Wong can be a transformative turning point for those affected by trying to get back to my best after a frustrating sports injury. The shared goal is achieving being active again without the constant worry of pain or re-injury, paving the way for you to enjoy challenging myself with indoor or outdoor rock climbing and a more active, vibrant life.
• Many find that swelling in my arm or leg, possibly lymphedema, after surgery or treatment significantly impacts their ability to performing self-care tasks like hair washing or reaching their back. Grace Wong helps patients target experiencing significant pain relief, allowing for a more comfortable daily life with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

You can expect your initial physiotherapy visit to be around an hour long. This extended time allows for a comprehensive assessment of your condition and a collaborative discussion about your treatment goals. Subsequent follow-up sessions are generally between 30 and 45 minutes, though this can be adjusted based on your individual requirements. Your Physiotherapist will advise on the appropriate appointment length for your specific care.

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.

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

In Ontario, you can usually see a physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral. This is known as direct access. However, even though a referral isn't legally required to see a physiotherapist, some private insurance plans may require one for coverage. It's essential to check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.

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.

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

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available through specific programs (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 waitlists may exist. You should check your private insurance coverage as many plans offer significant reimbursement for physiotherapy services in private clinics. Always verify your eligibility for any public coverage directly with OHIP.

Is there parking available at or near Physio-Logic?

Free patient parking is typically available on-site or nearby. Please check signage for available spots.
