At Defy Sports Performance & Physiotherapy, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jared Lando frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Through personalized physiotherapy at Jared Lando's clinic, common concerns like my child complaining of 'growing pains' that keep them up at night are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of running their usual distance comfortably and with improved form. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like being able to kneel or squat down to play with pets or children.
• It's truly rewarding for Jared Lando to witness patients conquer a 'frozen shoulder' feeling, where my shoulder feels completely stuck and experience understanding how to prevent future flare-ups and manage their condition long-term. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in reaching for items on high shelves or in cupboards without shoulder strain again.
• The path to recovery from facial weakness or drooping on one side (like Bell's Palsy) and achieving achieving personal fitness goals that once seemed out of reach for peacefully paddling their kayak or canoe on the lake for hours often starts with expert guidance. Jared Lando, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• Many individuals seek help from Jared Lando, their physiotherapist, when working on getting back to normal after a fracture or other surgery starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve reduced muscle tension and a feeling of greater physical ease, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like doing household chores like vacuuming, mopping, or laundry without pain.

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

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.

What are Defy Sports Performance & Physiotherapy's operating hours?

Defy Sports Performance & Physiotherapy is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and some practitioners offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. However, hours can vary by practitioner and day, so please call our office or check our website/online booking portal for the most current hours and specific practitioner availability.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes, absolutely! Physiotherapy plays a significant role in injury prevention and managing recurring pain. Your Physiotherapist can identify underlying risk factors such as muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, postural issues, or biomechanical inefficiencies. By addressing these through targeted exercises, education on proper body mechanics, ergonomic advice, and activity modification, physiotherapy can help reduce your risk of initial injury, prevent re-injury, and manage chronic conditions more effectively, keeping you active and healthy.

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.

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 Physiotherapist 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.

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.
