Hand Wrist

• Hand and Wrist Injuries & Conditions (e.g., Fractures, Tendon Injuries, Sprains, Arthritis - Conservative/Post-Op): Physiotherapy to help you regain optimal use of your hand and wrist after an injury, surgery, or due to a chronic condition, enabling you to return to work, hobbies, and daily tasks.

Back Neck Pain

• Herniated Disc / Sciatica / Radiculopathy: Back or neck pain that often radiates into an arm or leg, potentially with numbness, tingling, weakness, or burning sensations, due to a spinal disc problem (herniation, protrusion, or bulge) compressing or irritating a nearby nerve root (radiculopathy). Sciatica specifically refers to radicular pain down the leg.
• Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD): Post-traumatic neck pain, restricted movement, and associated issues common after car accidents, which benefit from early and appropriate physiotherapy intervention.
• Postural Back/Neck Pain: A common cause of persistent back and neck pain due to the cumulative strain of prolonged sitting, standing, or performing tasks in non-ideal positions.

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

• The path to recovery from widespread muscle pain and fatigue that my doctor thinks might be fibromyalgia and achieving a feeling of being 'unstuck' and more supple for painting or drawing for longer stretches without neck or shoulder ache often starts with expert guidance. JAS LAMBA, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• JAS LAMBA believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If sharp pain shooting down my leg, feeling a lot like sciatica is hindering your ability to playing their musical instrument (guitar, piano, violin, etc.) for extended periods, a personalized plan focusing on reduced swelling and inflammation in injured areas can make all the difference.
• Many individuals seek help from JAS LAMBA, their physiotherapist, when that grinding or crunching feeling in my knee or shoulder starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve a noticeable reduction in daily discomfort, making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like simply being able to get through a workday without constant pain interruptions.
• For those whose trying to get back to my best after a frustrating sports injury has made getting back to golfing 18 holes without their back acting up seem like a distant memory, JAS LAMBA's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward reduced muscle tension and a feeling of greater physical ease. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to getting back to golfing 18 holes without their back acting up with greater comfort and renewed confidence.

Street parking and nearby paid lots offer convenient options for visitors.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your initial physiotherapy appointment is a comprehensive assessment. Your Physiotherapist will start by discussing your medical history, the details of your current symptoms or injury, your concerns, and what you hope to achieve with physiotherapy (your functional goals). This is followed by a thorough physical examination, which may include evaluating your range of motion, strength, posture, balance, and specific movement patterns, as well as performing special tests relevant to your condition. Based on these findings, your therapist will provide a clinical impression or diagnosis, discuss a personalized treatment plan with you, and often begin some initial treatment or provide education and a home exercise program to get you started.

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. It is strongly recommended to check your private insurance for coverage of services in private clinics.

Is there parking available at or near New Age Physio?

Metered street parking is available on the streets surrounding the clinic. There are also paid parking lots within a short distance.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in ON?

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for coverage; check your insurance policy before your appointment.

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

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is best for your physiotherapy appointment – think about what you might wear to a gym or for light exercise. If you're being treated for a lower-body issue (like hip or knee pain), shorts are very helpful. For upper-body issues (like shoulder or neck pain), a tank top or loose t-shirt is suitable so the Physiotherapist can properly examine and treat the area.
