At Neurocore Physiotherapy & Pilates Centre, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Jordan Young frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Are you finding that my child complaining of 'growing pains' that keep them up at night stops you from enjoying dancing the night away at social events and family celebrations? Jordan Young is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve moving more freely and with greater agility than they have in years through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
• Patients struggling with recurrent dislocations or a feeling of instability in my shoulder or knee can find dedicated and compassionate support from Jordan Young. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as being able to perform deep cleaning tasks around the house.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from that 'pins and needles' feeling that won't go away and achieved decreased frequency and intensity of headaches related to neck or postural issues under the skilled care of Jordan Young. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as doing household chores like vacuuming, mopping, or laundry without pain with a new lease on life.
• Patients often come to Jordan Young feeling defeated by shoulder pain that makes simple things like lifting my arm or reaching overhead difficult. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving enhanced ability to participate in social and community events and resuming walking up and down several flights of stairs without issue or breathlessness becomes a realistic and attainable goal.

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

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 to book an appointment, some private 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 coverage.

How can I book an appointment at Neurocore Physiotherapy & Pilates Centre?

You can book an appointment by calling our clinic directly at (905) 886-2673 during our business hours. Our friendly reception team will be happy to assist you in finding a suitable appointment time with the right physiotherapist for your needs.

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.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available through specific programs (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 essential to check your private insurance coverage, as many plans offer significant coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

The primary goal of physiotherapy is generally to reduce pain and improve function, not to cause significant or lasting pain. Some assessment techniques or specific treatments (like deep soft tissue work, joint mobilization, or certain exercises) might cause mild, temporary discomfort or soreness, especially if the tissues being treated are sensitive, inflamed, or very stiff. However, your Physiotherapist will always work within your tolerance levels, communicate clearly about what to expect, and encourage open feedback. If you experience notable or unacceptable pain during treatment, please inform your therapist immediately so adjustments can be made to ensure your comfort.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, a personalized home exercise program is a crucial and integral component of most physiotherapy treatment plans. Your Physiotherapist will prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition, abilities, and goals. These exercises are designed to complement your in-clinic treatment, help you manage your symptoms effectively between sessions, accelerate your recovery, and empower you with tools for long-term self-management. Your active participation in your home program is key for optimal results.
