At Four Corners Health Centre, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Madhumita frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Are you finding that feeling like my posture is hunched or rounded, causing discomfort stops you from enjoying challenging myself with indoor or outdoor rock climbing? Madhumita is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve less reliance on pain medication, trusting more in their body's ability to heal and function through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
• Struggling with the frustration of post-operative stiffness and weakness that's slowing down my recovery? Madhumita develops individualized physiotherapy programs specifically aimed at achieving learning specific exercises that provide ongoing relief and maintain their progress. This is key to helping you get back to doing walking their children to school or the park with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.
• Through personalized physiotherapy at Madhumita's clinic, common concerns like recovering from a painful and limiting work-related injury (WCB/CNESST/WorkSafe claim) are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like cycling longer distances with their cycling club.
• When facial weakness or drooping on one side (like Bell's Palsy) is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing getting back to their regular, consistent gym workouts, physiotherapy with Madhumita can help you work towards being able to travel more comfortably and with less planning around physical limitations. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession dedicated to helping people of all ages improve their movement, function, and overall well-being. A registered Physiotherapist uses evidence-based techniques like targeted exercise, hands-on manual therapy, and personalized education to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of injuries, pain conditions, and physical impairments affecting your muscles, bones, joints, nerves, and even your cardiorespiratory system. It can help you reduce pain, increase mobility and strength, recover from surgery, prevent future injuries, and enhance your quality of life.

What are Four Corners Health Centre's operating hours?

Four Corners Health Centre is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and some practitioners offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. However, hours can vary by practitioner and day, so please call our office or check our website for the most current hours and specific practitioner availability.

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. Check your private insurance for private clinic coverage and verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

Physiotherapy should not be an ordeal of pain. While you might feel some discomfort or a stretching sensation as you work to regain movement or strength, especially in the initial stages of treatment for an acute injury or chronic stiffness, it's rarely 'painful' in a distressing or harmful way. Your Physiotherapist will guide you through each step, modify treatments to suit your comfort and tolerance, and ensure that the overall experience is positive. The ultimate aim is to make you feel better, not worse.

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.
