Common Conditions Jaclyn Kelly Addresses

Tmj Headache

  • Cervicogenic Headaches: Differentiating and effectively treating headaches that stem directly from problems in your neck joints or muscles.
  • Migraines (Supportive Musculoskeletal Care): While physiotherapy doesn't 'cure' migraines, it can be a valuable part of a multidisciplinary management plan by helping to manage musculoskeletal contributing factors or secondary issues (like neck tension, postural strain, or TMJ dysfunction) that may trigger or worsen migraines in some individuals.

Joint Pain

  • Tendinopathy/Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles, Patellar, Rotator Cuff, Tennis/Golfer's Elbow): Persistent tendon pain that can interfere with your sports, work, or daily activities, often requiring specific loading programs and advice from a physiotherapist for effective management.
  • Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine, Hands, Other Joints): A degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage and underlying bone, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility in affected joints like the knees, hips, spine, or hands.

Post Surgical

  • Post-Spinal Surgery Rehabilitation (e.g., Discectomy, Laminectomy, Fusion - with surgeon clearance): A carefully managed and individualized physiotherapy program to help you regain confidence in your spine, improve functional capacity, and prevent future issues after spinal surgery.
  • Post-Fracture Fixation Surgery Rehabilitation (e.g., ORIF): A progressive rehabilitation program after surgery to fix a broken bone, helping you regain full use of your arm or leg and return to your normal activities.
  • Post-Knee Replacement Rehabilitation (Total or Partial Knee Arthroplasty - TKA/PKA): The crucial rehabilitation phase following total or partial knee replacement surgery, with physiotherapy focusing on restoring range of motion, building strength, improving balance, managing pain and swelling, and enabling functional mobility (e.g., walking, stairs, getting in/out of a car).

Achieving Your Goals with Physiotherapy

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

  • Rediscover your ability to doing household chores like vacuuming, mopping, or laundry without pain without the constant burden of a noticeable curve in my child's spine or uneven shoulders (scoliosis concerns). Jaclyn focuses on evidence-based treatment plans that lead to the ability to sit for longer periods (e.g., at a desk, in a car) without significant discomfort, integrating various therapeutic techniques for optimal and lasting results.
  • Dealing with the ongoing challenges of managing stiffness, tremors, and movement challenges with Parkinson's disease? Jaclyn works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of sleeping more soundly through the night due to reduced pain and discomfort. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as playing fetch with your dog in the park for an extended time.
  • Patients often come to Jaclyn feeling defeated by pain in my shins when I try to run or be active (shin splints). With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving being active again without the constant worry of pain or re-injury and resuming actively participating in family outings and vacations without holding others back becomes a realistic and attainable goal.

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

Frequently Asked Questions about Physiotherapy

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?
In physiotherapy, manual therapy encompasses a range of 'hands-on' interventions. Your Physiothérapeute may use these techniques to help reduce your pain, increase joint movement, relax tight muscles, or improve the mobility of your nerves. Common approaches include joint glides, sustained pressures, specific soft tissue massage, and, when indicated, joint manipulations. It's a key part of helping your body move better.
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 Physiothérapeute 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.
What is the difference between a Physiotherapist (Physiothérapeute) and a Physiotherapy Technologist (Technologue en physiothérapie) in Quebec?
In Quebec, a Physiothérapeute (Physiotherapist) holds a university master's degree in physiotherapy. They are autonomous healthcare professionals authorized to perform patient assessments, establish a physiotherapy diagnosis, create and modify treatment plans, and apply a wide range of therapeutic interventions. This includes certain restricted activities if they hold the specific attestations (e.g., spinal manipulations, specific needle-based therapies). A Technologue en physiothérapie (Physiotherapy Technologist or Phys. T.) holds a college-level (CEGEP) diploma in physiotherapy technology. They work under the supervision of, or based on a treatment plan established by, a physiotherapist or a physician. Technologists apply prescribed treatment modalities, guide patients through exercises, monitor progress, and adapt interventions within the established plan, but they do not diagnose or independently create treatment plans. Both professions are regulated by the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ).
Is physiotherapy covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?
It is important for patients to verify their eligibility for public coverage directly with RAMQ, as coverage varies. Generally, physiotherapy services in private clinics are not covered by RAMQ. Some exceptions include care received in public hospitals or CLSC, if meeting specific criteria. Most patients pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance. Patients are encouraged to check their individual circumstances and insurance plans for coverage details.
Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiothérapeute in QC?
In Quebec, patients can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, which is known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans might require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to ensure coverage.
