At Synergy Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jaspal Chouhan frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• The journey to being able to travel more comfortably and with less planning around physical limitations when faced with persistent feeling like my joints are just 'wearing out' and getting harder to move is made smoother and more effective with Jaspal Chouhan's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like giving presentations or speaking publicly with confidence and good posture.
• Jaspal Chouhan believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best.

• Discover how physiotherapy with Jaspal Chouhan can help you move beyond feeling 'off-balance' and worried about falling, especially as I get older. The focus is on developing better body awareness and understanding of healthy movement patterns, enabling a joyful return to the activities you love, such as sleeping soundly through the night without being woken by pain or discomfort.
• Struggling with the frustration of needing to improve my breathing patterns or lung capacity?

This is key to helping you get back to doing standing for longer periods, for example, while cooking or at an event with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.

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

Physiotherapy services in private clinics are generally not covered by OHIP. While publicly funded physiotherapy is available through certain programs (e.g., post-hospitalization for specific conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), eligibility criteria are strict. Most Ontarians will need to rely on private insurance or pay out-of-pocket for physiotherapy services at private clinics. It is essential to check with OHIP and your private insurance provider to determine your coverage.
