At Sahara Health, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jalpa Dobariya frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Struggling with the frustration of pain in my shins when I try to run or be active (shin splints)? Jalpa Dobariya develops individualized physiotherapy programs specifically aimed at achieving a feeling of being 'unstuck' and more supple. This is key to helping you get back to doing dressing myself independently and without difficulty, including shoes and socks with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.
• Jalpa Dobariya frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of facial weakness or drooping on one side (like Bell's Palsy). A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets successfully avoiding or delaying the need for more invasive treatments or surgery and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like taking energetic, long walks with their dog every day.
• Don't let that persistent ache in my lower back that just won't quit dictate what you can and cannot do. Jalpa Dobariya offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at seeing their child achieve developmental milestones with greater ease (for pediatric physio), helping you reclaim tackling home renovation and DIY projects with confidence and enjoy a more functional life.
• At Jalpa Dobariya's physiotherapy practice, individuals with feeling 'off-balance' and worried about falling, especially as I get older are guided towards greater ease with dressing, bathing, and other self-care activities. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as actively participating in family outings and vacations without holding others back.

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 insurance plans may require one for coverage. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements for physiotherapy coverage.

What is Sahara Health's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

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

Physiotherapy services in private clinics are generally not covered by OHIP. While OHIP may cover physiotherapy in certain specific circumstances, such as post-hospitalization for certain conditions or for specific populations (children/youth, seniors), eligibility criteria are strict and there may be waitlists. Most Ontarians will need to rely on private or extended health insurance to cover the cost of physiotherapy services in private clinics. It is crucial to check your private insurance coverage and eligibility for any publicly funded programs directly with OHIP.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

This is very individual and depends on many factors. After your comprehensive initial assessment, your Physiotherapist will be able to give you a better idea of the anticipated number of sessions and the frequency of visits needed to achieve your specific goals. We believe in open communication and will regularly review your progress with you, adjusting the treatment plan as you improve and as needed.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows the Physiotherapist to easily access and assess the area being treated, and permits you to move freely for any exercises or movements. For example, shorts are ideal for knee, hip, or ankle issues, while a tank top or loose t-shirt works well for shoulder, neck, or upper back problems. Athletic wear or gym attire is generally a good choice. You may also be provided with a gown if needed.
