Kendra Squire

Kendra Squire provides skilled physiotherapist care for a variety of health concerns, including but not limited to:

Joint Pain

• Tendinopathy/Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles, Patellar, Rotator Cuff, Tennis/Golfer's Elbow): Pain, tenderness, swelling, and dysfunction in a tendon (the strong cords that attach muscles to bones) due to overuse, repetitive strain, injury, or degeneration. Common sites include the Achilles, patellar tendon (knee), rotator cuff (shoulder), or elbow (tennis/golfer's elbow).
• Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine, Hands, Other Joints): A degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage and underlying bone, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility in affected joints like the knees, hips, spine, or hands.

Arthritis

• Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA): An inflammatory arthritis that can affect some people with psoriasis (a skin condition), causing joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and sometimes affecting tendons (enthesitis) and ligaments. Can affect small or large joints, often asymmetrically, and sometimes the spine.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) & Other Inflammatory Arthropathies: An autoimmune condition causing chronic inflammation, pain, stiffness, swelling, and potential deformity in multiple joints, often symmetrically. Physiotherapy aims to manage pain, maintain joint function and mobility, improve strength and endurance, provide joint protection strategies, and support self-management.

This list offers examples of conditions commonly addressed. Diagnosis for physiotherapist is based on individual assessment, so if your specific concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic. Kendra Squire can assess your needs.

• Core Stability & Strengthening Training: Specialized workouts to enhance your core strength, stability, and endurance, which are crucial for injury prevention, back health, and efficient performance in daily activities and sports.
• General Reconditioning & Fitness Programs: A progressive approach to rebuilding your physical condition, allowing for a safe return to daily activities, work demands, and hobbies you enjoy.
• Postural Assessment and Correction: Detailed analysis of your static and dynamic posture, with tailored exercises, stretches, and advice to help you improve alignment and reduce strain on your body.
• Functional Movement Screening (FMS™/SFMA™ if certified): A systematic screening process, such as FMS™ or SFMA™ (if your Physiotherapist is certified), to understand how you move and guide preventative or corrective exercise programs.

• Struggling with the frustration of aches and pains that I'm pretty sure are from my bad posture at my desk? Kendra Squire develops individualized physiotherapy programs specifically aimed at achieving decreased frequency and intensity of headaches related to neck or postural issues. This is key to helping you get back to doing setting up and taking down equipment for hobbies or sports with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.
• Patients struggling with recovering from surgery to my hand or wrist can find dedicated and compassionate support from Kendra Squire. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving developing better body awareness and understanding of healthy movement patterns, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as engaging in detailed crafting, sewing, or knitting hobbies for hours.

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, even though a referral isn't legally required to book an appointment, some extended health insurance plans may require one for coverage. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider to understand their specific requirements before your first appointment.

What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Reactivate Muskoka treat?

Physiotherapists at Reactivate Muskoka treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including but not limited to back and neck pain, arthritis, joint pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Kendra Squire's expertise also includes Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. Our treatments often involve a Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Assessment, Personalized Therapeutic Exercise Prescription, and manual therapy techniques to help you achieve your functional goals.

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

To make your first appointment as smooth and productive as possible, please consider bringing: your health card, any doctor's referral letter (if applicable), results or reports of any imaging tests (X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs) related to your current condition, a list of any medications you are currently taking, and your extended health benefits information (insurance card/policy number) for direct billing if available at our clinic. Wearing comfortable clothes is also a good idea.

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

Physiotherapy services in private clinics are generally not covered by OHIP. While publicly funded physiotherapy is available through certain programs (e.g., post-hospitalization for specific conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), 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.
