Sports Injury

• Stress Fractures (Activity-Related - Conservative Management/Rehab): Localized bone pain that typically worsens with activity and is relieved by rest, often accompanied by tenderness to touch over the affected bone.
• IT Band Syndrome (Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome): Sharp or burning pain on the outer side of the knee that often starts gradually and worsens with continued activity, sometimes radiating up the thigh or down the leg.

• Interferential Current (IFC) / TENS Therapy: Utilizing targeted electrical currents to help alleviate pain, manage discomfort, and support healing in conjunction with other physiotherapy interventions.
• Therapeutic Heat Application: The use of moist heat packs, paraffin wax, or other heat sources by your Physiotherapist to relax muscles, increase local blood flow, reduce stiffness, alleviate chronic pain, and improve tissue extensibility.
• Cryotherapy Application (Cold Therapy): Using therapeutic cold to manage the initial stages of an injury (e.g., sprains, strains) and control inflammatory responses, helping to limit tissue damage.
• Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) / Photobiomodulation: Utilizing therapeutic laser to enhance tissue regeneration, reduce pain signals, and manage inflammation as part of your comprehensive physiotherapy care.

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

• Manisha Patel believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) is hindering your ability to managing their personal care routines independently, a personalized plan focusing on enjoying less stiffness in the mornings and throughout the day can make all the difference.
• Manisha Patel frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of my child complaining of 'growing pains' that keep them up at night. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets a better ability to cope with the physical stresses of daily life and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like getting back to golfing 18 holes without their back acting up.
• Through personalized physiotherapy at Manisha Patel's clinic, common concerns like one leg feeling shorter than the other, causing hip or back pain are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of greater ease with dressing, bathing, and other self-care activities. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like tackling home renovation and DIY projects with confidence.
• When that grinding or crunching feeling in my knee or shoulder is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing maintaining their balance and stability while walking on uneven ground or trails, physiotherapy with Manisha Patel can help you work towards learning specific exercises that provide ongoing relief and maintain their progress. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. We recommend you contact your insurance provider directly before your first appointment to understand the specifics of your plan. Key things to check are: your annual maximum for physiotherapy, any per-visit limits or co-payments, whether a doctor's referral is required for reimbursement, and if your plan allows for direct billing by the clinic. If Lifemark Physiotherapy Tecumseh offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can often bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You would then be responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance not covered by your plan at the time of service. Please bring your insurance card and all necessary policy details to your first appointment. If direct billing is not possible, we will provide you with an official receipt that you can submit to your insurer.
