At Blanche River Health, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Joebie Tanamal frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Physiotherapy with Joebie Tanamal can be a transformative turning point for those affected by recovering from a concussion and dealing with lingering symptoms like dizziness or headaches. The shared goal is achieving a significant improvement in their overall quality of life and daily well-being, paving the way for you to enjoy safely meeting the lifting requirements at their workplace and a more active, vibrant life.
• Many individuals seek help from Joebie Tanamal, their physiotherapist, when trouble performing repetitive tasks at work without pain starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve successfully avoiding or delaying the need for more invasive treatments or surgery, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like reaching for items on high shelves or in cupboards without shoulder strain.
• At Joebie Tanamal's physiotherapy practice, individuals with that burning pain between my shoulder blades from too much computer work 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 resuming their weightlifting routine at the gym safely.

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 or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for coverage. It's crucial to check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

This is very individual and depends on many factors. After your comprehensive initial assessment, your Physiotherapist will be able to give you a better idea of the anticipated number of sessions and the frequency of visits needed to achieve your specific goals. We believe in open communication and will regularly review your progress with you, adjusting the treatment plan as you improve and as needed.

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, such as post-hospitalization for certain conditions or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams, but eligibility criteria are strict and there may be waitlists. Check your private insurance coverage as many plans offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Initial assessment appointments are generally longer to allow for a thorough evaluation and discussion, typically lasting between 45 to 60 minutes. Subsequent follow-up treatment sessions are usually shorter, often ranging from 30 to 45 minutes. However, the duration can vary depending on your specific needs, the complexity of your condition, the type of treatment being provided, and the treatment plan designed by your Physiotherapist.

What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Blanche River Health treat?

Physiotherapists at Blanche River Health treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, back and neck pain, joint problems (arthritis or post-surgical recovery), sports injuries, and nerve pain. We utilize various techniques including manual therapy, exercise prescription, and modalities such as cryotherapy and heat therapy to help patients achieve their functional goals. Joebie Tanamal's specific areas of interest include orthopedic and musculoskeletal physiotherapy.
