At Myofascial Release Mississauga, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Justin frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Rediscover your ability to doing household chores like vacuuming, mopping, or laundry without pain without the constant burden of difficulty with fine motor skills like buttoning shirts or writing due to hand pain. Justin focuses on evidence-based treatment plans that lead to a noticeable improvement in their gait and walking efficiency, integrating various therapeutic techniques for optimal and lasting results.
• Justin frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of numbness, tingling, or weakness in my hands, arms, feet, or legs. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets a return to intimacy without the fear of pain or discomfort and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like playing actively and roughhousing with their young kids or grandkids.
• Justin believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If tendonitis pain flaring up in my shoulder, knee, elbow, or foot is hindering your ability to sitting comfortably through a movie at the cinema or a play, a personalized plan focusing on better joint stability during movement and weight-bearing activities can make all the difference.
• Are you finding that that nagging tennis elbow (or golfer's elbow) that flares up with activity stops you from enjoying cycling longer distances with their cycling club? Justin is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve a smooth and confident transition back to their work duties through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.

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

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. Always check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

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

It's recommended to wear or bring clothing that allows unrestricted movement and provides easy access for your physiotherapist to examine the body part being assessed or treated. For instance, if you have a knee problem, please wear or bring shorts. For shoulder issues, a sleeveless top or a top with loose armholes is often helpful. The goal is to make the assessment and treatment as effective as possible.

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.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

The first physiotherapy session is primarily an in-depth assessment. Expect to spend time talking with your Physiotherapist about your specific issue, its history, and your overall health background. Your therapist will then perform various physical tests to assess your movement, strength, and any areas of concern. The main goal of this first visit is to understand your condition fully so that a tailored and effective treatment plan can be developed collaboratively with you. You might also receive your first set of home exercises or some initial hands-on care to start the healing process.

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.
