At Jon Hui Physiotherapy & Associates, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jonathan Hui frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• For those whose recovering from a painful and limiting work-related injury (WCB/CNESST/WorkSafe claim) has made keeping up with their team during our weekly soccer match seem like a distant memory, Jonathan Hui's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward improved joint health and a slowing of degenerative processes through better biomechanics. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to keeping up with their team during our weekly soccer match with greater comfort and renewed confidence.
• Patients often come to Jonathan Hui feeling defeated by recovering my strength and mobility after a knee or hip replacement surgery. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving being able to climb stairs with ease and confidence once again and resuming cycling longer distances with their cycling club becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• Jonathan Hui believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If my child complaining of 'growing pains' that keep them up at night is hindering your ability to handling their job that involves frequent standing, walking, or bending, a personalized plan focusing on learning specific exercises that provide ongoing relief and maintain their progress can make all the difference.
• Jonathan Hui frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of a 'frozen shoulder' feeling, where my shoulder feels completely stuck. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets getting back their independence with daily activities and personal care and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like taking long photography walks to capture nature or cityscapes.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Jonathan Hui, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

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

Some temporary post-treatment soreness can be normal, much like after a good workout. However, if your pain significantly worsens, if you develop new concerning symptoms, or if the discomfort doesn't settle down within a day or two, please call us. Your Physiotherapist would want to know so they can offer guidance and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan. Open communication is key to your successful recovery.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is best for your physiotherapy appointment – think about what you might wear to a gym or for light exercise. If you're being treated for a lower-body issue (like hip or knee pain), shorts are very helpful. For upper-body issues (like shoulder or neck pain), a tank top or loose t-shirt is suitable so the Physiotherapist can properly examine and treat the area.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your initial physiotherapy appointment is a comprehensive assessment. Your Physiotherapist will start by discussing your medical history, the details of your current symptoms or injury, your concerns, and what you hope to achieve with physiotherapy (your functional goals). This is followed by a thorough physical examination, which may include evaluating your range of motion, strength, posture, balance, and specific movement patterns, as well as performing special tests relevant to your condition. Based on these findings, your therapist will provide a clinical impression or diagnosis, discuss a personalized treatment plan with you, and often begin some initial treatment or provide education and a home exercise program to get you started.

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 of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.

What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Jon Hui Physiotherapy & Associates treat?

Our Physiotherapists treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including but not limited to back and neck pain, joint problems (arthritis, post-surgical recovery), sports injuries, and nerve pain. Jonathan Hui has a special interest in orthopedic and musculoskeletal physiotherapy. We utilize various treatment modalities, including manual therapy, Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), Therapeutic Ultrasound Application, and exercise prescription, to help you achieve your functional goals.

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

For your first visit, please bring your provincial health card (e.g., Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) card, if applicable for any publicly funded programs or simply for identification), any relevant medical information such as a doctor's referral note (if you have one), reports from recent imaging (like X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound scans), and a list of your current medications. Also, if you plan to use private health insurance, bring your insurance card or policy details. Finally, wear or bring comfortable clothing suitable for assessment and movement.

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 Ontarians. 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. It's crucial to check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer significant coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.
