At Physioworks (Reynolds Bldg), physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jo-Ann frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• When widespread muscle pain and fatigue that my doctor thinks might be fibromyalgia is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing playing actively and roughhousing with your young kids or grandkids, physiotherapy with Jo-Ann can help you work towards resuming gardening, hobbies, or household tasks without strain or discomfort. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.
• Physiotherapy with Jo-Ann can be a transformative turning point for those affected by dealing with ongoing pain and stiffness after a car accident, like whiplash. The shared goal is achieving decreased frequency and intensity of headaches related to neck or postural issues, paving the way for you to enjoy dressing myself independently and without difficulty, including shoes and socks and a more active, vibrant life.
• The journey to feeling more like their 'old self' before their injury or condition began when faced with persistent that grinding or crunching feeling in my knee or shoulder is made smoother and more effective with Jo-Ann's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like working at your desk all day without developing back or neck stiffness.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In Alberta, AHCIP provides limited coverage for certain physiotherapy services, typically after hospital discharge or for specific low-income individuals and seniors through particular programs. Most outpatient private clinic physiotherapy is not directly covered by AHCIP for the general population. Patients are advised to check current AHCIP details and consult their private insurance plans for coverage options.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

For your first visit, please bring your provincial health card (such as AHCIP card if applicable), any relevant medical information including a doctor's referral note if you have one, reports from recent imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs, and a list of your current medications. If you plan to use private insurance, bring your insurance card or policy details. Wearing comfortable clothing suitable for assessment and movement is also recommended.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

This varies depending on your condition and goals. After a comprehensive initial assessment, Jo-Ann will provide an estimate of the number of sessions and frequency needed. Regular progress reviews will help tailor the treatment plan for optimal recovery.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy is a science-based health profession that aims to restore movement and function affected by injury, illness, or disability. It involves techniques such as therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, education, and advice to help you manage your condition and achieve your physical goals, often reducing the risk of future problems.

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

In Alberta, patients can typically access a Physiotherapist directly without a referral, known as direct access. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy before your appointment to ensure coverage.
