At Summit Physiotherapy and Performance, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jonah Blatt frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Jonah Blatt believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If recovering my strength and mobility after a knee or hip replacement surgery is hindering your ability to hitting the slopes for a full day of skiing or snowboarding in winter, a personalized plan focusing on a greater sense of body confidence and trust in their physical abilities can make all the difference.
• Don't let that nagging tennis elbow (or golfer's elbow) that flares up with activity dictate what you can and cannot do. Jonah Blatt offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at less reliance on pain medication, trusting more in their body's ability to heal and function, helping you reclaim maintaining an upright posture while working on their computer for hours and enjoy a more functional life.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from dealing with pelvic pain or bladder/bowel control issues (for both men and women) and achieved building the necessary muscle support for their joints, reducing the risk of re-injury under the skilled care of Jonah Blatt. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as getting back to cycling for leisure or commuting with a new lease on life.
• Are you finding that difficulty getting out of a chair or bed due to stiffness or pain stops you from enjoying enjoying long, challenging hikes on weekends again? Jonah Blatt is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve increased endurance for walking, allowing for longer and more enjoyable outings through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

You can expect your initial physiotherapy visit to be around an hour long. This extended time allows for a comprehensive assessment of your condition and a collaborative discussion about your treatment goals. Subsequent follow-up sessions are generally between 30 and 45 minutes, though this can be adjusted based on your individual requirements. Your Physiotherapist will advise on the appropriate appointment length for your specific care.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

It's not uncommon to experience some temporary soreness or a mild increase in symptoms after certain physiotherapy treatments, especially in the initial stages or if you're starting new exercises. This usually subsides within 24-48 hours. However, if you experience a significant or sharp increase in pain, new or worsening neurological symptoms (like numbness, tingling, or weakness), or if your soreness lasts longer than expected, it's important to contact Summit Physiotherapy and Performance or your Physiotherapist directly. They can provide advice, adjust your treatment plan if necessary, or determine if you need to be reassessed.

What are Summit Physiotherapy and Performance's operating hours?

Summit Physiotherapy and Performance is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. However, hours can vary by practitioner and day, so please call their office or check their website for the most current hours and specific practitioner availability.

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. Check your private insurance for private clinic coverage and verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with OHIP.

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

Patients in ON can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a physician's referral (direct access). However, some private/extended health insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.
