- Patients often come to Janyka Drouin feeling defeated by difficulty coordinating my movements, feeling clumsy. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving achieving their specific mobility goals, whether big or small and resuming hitting the slopes for a full day of skiing or snowboarding in winter becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
- The path to recovery from knee pain, especially when going up/down stairs or after a run and achieving decreased frequency and intensity of headaches related to neck or postural issues for getting back to cycling for leisure or commuting often starts with expert guidance.

- Living with pain and difficulty with overhead movements like reaching into a cupboard doesn't have to be your norm.

- 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.
- Does Rockland Family Chiropractic & Wellness Centre offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
- While we do not offer direct billing at this time, we provide detailed official receipts that you can easily submit to your insurer for reimbursement according to your plan. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. Always confirm your specific coverage details, including any annual maximums, per-visit limits, or deductible requirements, directly with your insurance provider, as plans vary significantly. You are responsible for any portion not covered by your insurance.
- 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.
- Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in ON?
- Patients in ON can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a physician's referral (direct access). However, some private/extended health insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.
- Will I be given exercises to do at home?
- Absolutely! Home exercises are a vital part of your rehabilitation journey. Your Physiotherapist will select and teach you exercises specific to your needs to reinforce in-clinic work and manage your condition effectively.
