• Post-Knee Replacement Rehabilitation (Total or Partial Knee Arthroplasty - TKA/PKA): The crucial rehabilitation phase following total or partial knee replacement surgery, with physiotherapy focusing on restoring range of motion, building strength, improving balance, managing pain and swelling, and enabling functional mobility (e.g., walking, stairs, getting in/out of a car).

Common Musculoskeletal

• Low Back Pain (Acute or Chronic): Aching, sharp, or persistent pain located in the lower back, which may sometimes extend into the buttocks or legs, limiting your comfort.

• Muscle Strains and Tears: Injury to muscle tissue that limits your strength, range of motion, and ability to perform specific movements or activities, requiring careful rehabilitation.
• Knee Pain (e.g., Patellofemoral Syndrome, Meniscal Issues - conservative, Ligament Sprains): Aching, sharp pain, a feeling of the knee 'giving way', or difficulty fully bending or straightening your knee.

Arthritis

• Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS): Specific exercises (e.g., McKenzie exercises, stretching, postural exercises) and strategies to help individuals with ankylosing spondylitis maintain function, reduce stiffness, and prevent long-term spinal changes.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) & Other Inflammatory Arthropathies: Physiotherapy as an important part of a multidisciplinary team approach to managing rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory joint conditions (e.g., ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis), helping to minimize disease impact and maximize quality of life.

• At Jay Anilkumar Brahmbhatt's physiotherapy practice, individuals with persistent dizziness that isn't a spinning vertigo but makes me feel unsteady are guided towards reduced muscle tension and a feeling of greater physical ease. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as safely meeting the lifting requirements at their workplace.
• The journey to increased flexibility throughout their body, particularly in their back and major joints when faced with persistent difficulty moving one side of my body or walking easily after a stroke is made smoother and more effective with Jay Anilkumar Brahmbhatt's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like performing self-care tasks like hair washing or reaching their back.
• Don't let one leg feeling shorter than the other, causing hip or back pain dictate what you can and cannot do.

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. This is known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for coverage, so it's best to check your insurance policy before your appointment.

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

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility is strict. Check your private insurance for coverage as many plans offer significant physiotherapy coverage.

Does MM Physio offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Please contact MM Physio directly to inquire about their direct billing options with private insurance companies.
