Jennifer Rebecca Roberts provides skilled physiotherapist care for a variety of health concerns, including but not limited to:

Joint Pain

• Tendinopathy/Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles, Patellar, Rotator Cuff, Tennis/Golfer's Elbow): Inflammation (tendinitis) or, more commonly, degeneration (tendinosis/tendinopathy) of tendons, leading to localized pain that typically worsens with activity or loading of the tendon.
• Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine, Hands, Other Joints): A chronic condition causing joint discomfort, stiffness (especially in the morning or after inactivity), and impacting your ability to perform daily activities, walk, or engage in hobbies.

Sports Injury

• Muscle Strains (e.g., Hamstring, Calf, Groin, Quadriceps, Rotator Cuff): Damage to muscle tissue that can range from minor micro-tears to more significant partial or complete tears, impacting strength, power, and range of motion.
• Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee / Anterior Knee Pain): Knee discomfort frequently experienced by runners, cyclists, and those involved in activities with repetitive knee bending, which physiotherapy can effectively manage through exercise and biomechanical correction.
• Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome): Inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue (periosteum) around the tibia, which requires rest, activity modification, and specific physiotherapy interventions for recovery.

Back Neck Pain

• Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD): A range of neck and related symptoms including pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and sometimes arm pain or cognitive difficulties, following a rapid acceleration-deceleration injury to the neck, most typically from a motor vehicle accident.
• 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.

This list offers examples of conditions commonly addressed. Diagnosis for physiotherapist is based on individual assessment, so if your specific concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic. Jennifer Roberts can assess your needs.

• Neural Mobilization Techniques (Nerve Gliding): Gentle, specific movements and mobilizations designed to address nerve-related pain (like sciatica or carpal tunnel symptoms), tingling, numbness, or restrictions by improving the nerve's ability to glide freely and reducing irritation.
• Patient Education & Self-Management Strategies: Providing clear guidance on self-care techniques, activity modifications, and beneficial lifestyle adjustments for long-term well-being and injury prevention.
• Muscle Energy Techniques (MET): Gentle, active manual therapy techniques where you use your own specific muscle contractions against your therapist's controlled resistance to improve joint mobility, lengthen tight tissues, and reduce pain.
• Manual Therapy (Joint Mobilization & Manipulation): Hands-on physiotherapy focused on mobilizing restricted joints and soft tissues to promote healing, restore normal biomechanics, and alleviate pain.
• Postural Assessment and Correction: Detailed analysis of your static and dynamic posture, with tailored exercises, stretches, and advice to help you improve alignment and reduce strain on your body.
• Soft Tissue Mobilization & Release Techniques: Application of skilled soft tissue techniques to manage pain, stiffness, and improve function in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.

At Bayshore Healthcare, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jennifer Roberts frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many find that recovering from a painful and limiting work-related injury (WCB/CNESST/WorkSafe claim) significantly impacts their ability to engaging in detailed crafting, sewing, or knitting hobbies for hours. Jennifer Roberts helps patients target a noticeable improvement in their gait and walking efficiency with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Patients often come to Jennifer Roberts feeling defeated by needing help to get moving again after a long period of illness or inactivity. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving seeing their child achieve developmental milestones with greater ease (for pediatric physio) and resuming maintaining their balance and stability while walking on uneven ground or trails becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• Jennifer Roberts believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If that persistent ache in my lower back that just won't quit is hindering your ability to getting on and off the floor with ease, a personalized plan focusing on getting back their independence with daily activities and personal care can make all the difference.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of feeling 'off-balance' and worried about falling, especially as I get older? Jennifer Roberts works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of improved joint health and a slowing of degenerative processes through better biomechanics. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as participating in community events and social gatherings more actively.

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

In Ontario, you typically do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. This is known as direct access. However, while a referral isn't legally required for your appointment, some private health insurance plans may require one for coverage. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements for physiotherapy reimbursement.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer coverage for registered physiotherapy services, but the specifics vary widely. Before your first appointment, contact your insurance provider to understand your plan's details: annual maximums for physiotherapy, per-visit limits or co-payments, whether a doctor's referral is needed for reimbursement, and if direct billing is permitted. If Bayshore Healthcare offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can often bill your insurer directly. You'll be responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. If direct billing isn't possible, we'll provide a receipt for submission to your insurer.

What are Bayshore Healthcare's operating hours?

Bayshore Healthcare is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Some practitioners may offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Definitely. Physiotherapy is about more than just treating existing problems; it also focuses on injury prevention. A physiotherapist can assess your movement, identify potential weaknesses, and create a personalized exercise program to help you maintain long-term musculoskeletal health and avoid recurring pain.

Does Bayshore Healthcare offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Yes, Bayshore Healthcare offers direct billing for most major private insurance companies such as Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, and Blue Cross. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. Always confirm your coverage details, including annual maximums, per-visit limits, or deductibles, directly with your insurance provider, as plans vary. You are responsible for any portion not covered by your insurance.

We also have therapists with specialized skills in areas like general physiotherapy. Treatments often involve manual therapy, patient education, and exercise prescription.

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 certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility is strict. Check your private insurance plan for coverage, as many offer significant benefits for physiotherapy services in private clinics.
