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

• Are you finding that recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) stops you from enjoying working at their desk all day without developing back or neck stiffness? Kayla Teeter is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve sleeping more soundly through the night due to reduced pain and discomfort through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
• Rediscover your ability to performing tasks requiring fine motor skills and dexterity with ease without the constant burden of pain and difficulty with overhead movements like reaching into a cupboard. Kayla Teeter focuses on evidence-based treatment plans that lead to a greater sense of body confidence and trust in their physical abilities, integrating various therapeutic techniques for optimal and lasting results.
• Don't let dealing with ongoing pain and stiffness after a car accident, like whiplash dictate what you can and cannot do. Kayla Teeter offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at more comfortable and efficient movement when transitioning between positions (e.g., sit to stand), helping you reclaim tackling home renovation and DIY projects with confidence and enjoy a more functional life.
• Patients often come to Kayla Teeter feeling defeated by an old ankle sprain that never seems to fully heal and still feels weak. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving reduced muscle tension and a feeling of greater physical ease and resuming spending hours gardening comfortably, without subsequent back or knee strain becomes a realistic and attainable goal.

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

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 Ontario can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a physician's referral (this is known as direct access). However, some private/extended health insurance plans do require a referral for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended to check the specific requirements of your individual insurance policy before your first appointment.

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 advised to check your private insurance for private clinic coverage.

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.
