At Holy Physio and Wellness Center, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Manju Paul frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Patients often come to Manju Paul feeling defeated by persistent dizziness that isn't a spinning vertigo but makes me feel unsteady. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving enjoying cycling or swimming regularly without pain or limitation and resuming participating in community events and social gatherings more actively becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of my baby/child having trouble with their motor skills, like delayed rolling, sitting or walking? Manju Paul works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of enhanced ability to participate in social and community events. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as reading a good book for hours without experiencing neck pain or headaches.
• It's truly rewarding for Manju Paul to witness patients conquer that burning pain between my shoulder blades from too much computer work and experience feeling more energetic and less weighed down by physical discomfort. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in cycling longer distances with their cycling club again.
• Manju Paul frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of feeling 'off-balance' and worried about falling, especially as I get older. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets returning to their workout routine with greater confidence and better performance and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like getting back to cycling for leisure or commuting.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Manju Paul, 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 Ontarians. 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 waitlists may apply. Always check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics. Verify your specific OHIP eligibility directly with them.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

This is very individual and depends on many factors. After your comprehensive initial assessment, your Physiotherapist will be able to give you a better idea of the anticipated number of sessions and the frequency of visits needed to achieve your specific goals. We believe in open communication and will regularly review your progress with you, adjusting the treatment plan as you improve and as needed.

What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Holy Physio and Wellness Center treat?

This includes, but is not limited to, back and neck pain, joint problems (such as arthritis or post-surgical recovery), sports injuries, and nerve pain. We also offer services such as Interferential Current (IFC) / TENS Therapy and Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) / Photobiomodulation, and patient education to help you achieve your functional goals.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in ON?

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral (direct access). However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

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

For your first visit, please bring your provincial health card (e.g., OHIP card), any relevant medical information such as a doctor's referral note (if you have one), reports from recent imaging, and a list of your current medications. Also, bring your insurance card or policy details if using private insurance. Wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement.
