Achieving Your Health Goals with Physiotherapy Care

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

  • Through personalized physiotherapy at Julie Mainprize's clinic, common concerns like dealing with ongoing pain and stiffness after a car accident, like whiplash are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of better joint stability during movement and weight-bearing activities. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like engaging in volunteer work that might have physical demands.
  • Many patients have found lasting relief from difficulty coordinating my movements, feeling clumsy and achieved feeling more like their 'old self' before their injury or condition began under the skilled care of Julie Mainprize. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as enduring their daily commute, whether driving or on public transit, without stiffness with a new lease on life.
  • Patients often come to Julie Mainprize feeling defeated by hip pain when I walk, climb stairs, or try to sleep on my side. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving feeling equipped with effective self-management strategies and exercises and resuming doing household chores like vacuuming, mopping, or laundry without pain becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
  • Julie Mainprize frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of pain and difficulty with overhead movements like reaching into a cupboard. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets a reduction in nerve-related symptoms like tingling or numbness and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like taking energetic, long walks with their dog every day.

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

Frequently Asked Questions about Physiotherapy in Belleville

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?
In physiotherapy, manual therapy encompasses a range of 'hands-on' interventions. Your Physiotherapist may use these techniques to help reduce your pain, increase joint movement, relax tight muscles, or improve the mobility of your nerves. Common approaches include joint glides, sustained pressures, specific soft tissue massage, and, when indicated, joint manipulations. It's a key part of helping your body move better.
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. It is strongly recommended to check your private insurance for coverage of services in private clinics.
Will I be given exercises to do at home?
Yes, in almost all cases, you will receive a customized home exercise program. These exercises are carefully chosen by your Physiotherapist to specifically target your issues and help you achieve your functional goals faster and more effectively. Performing them as recommended is very important for your progress and for maintaining the improvements you make during your clinic visits.
Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?
Yes, absolutely! Physiotherapy plays a significant role in injury prevention and managing recurring pain. Your Physiotherapist can identify underlying risk factors such as muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, postural issues, or biomechanical inefficiencies. By addressing these through targeted exercises, education on proper body mechanics, ergonomic advice, and activity modification, physiotherapy can help reduce your risk of initial injury, prevent re-injury, and manage chronic conditions more effectively, keeping you active and healthy.
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.
