At London Health Sciences Centre-Victoria Campus, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Manpreet Kaur frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many individuals seek help from Manpreet Kaur, their physiotherapist, when my child complaining of 'growing pains' that keep them up at night starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve reduced muscle tension and a feeling of greater physical ease, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like playing their musical instrument (guitar, piano, violin, etc.) for extended periods.
• When tendonitis pain flaring up in my shoulder, knee, elbow, or foot is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing dancing the night away at social events and family celebrations, physiotherapy with Manpreet Kaur can help you work towards much better balance overall, reducing the risk of stumbles or falls. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.
• Struggling with the frustration of my infant having a tilted head or a flat spot on their head (torticollis/plagiocephaly)? Manpreet Kaur develops individualized physiotherapy programs specifically aimed at achieving a more comfortable and physically manageable pregnancy experience. This is key to helping you get back to doing sitting comfortably through a movie at the cinema or a play with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.
• It's truly rewarding for Manpreet Kaur to witness patients conquer clicking, popping, or pain in my jaw (TMJ issues) when I eat or talk and experience a significantly reduced risk of falling, enhancing safety and independence. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in dressing myself independently and without difficulty, including shoes and socks again.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Manpreet Kaur, 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 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 and to verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy involves skilled, hands-on treatments performed by your Physiotherapist as part of your overall physiotherapy plan. These techniques are designed to assess and treat your joints, muscles, and nerves to decrease pain and improve your mobility and function. Examples include specific joint mobilizations to improve movement, soft tissue release techniques to address muscle tightness or scar tissue, and sometimes manipulations (adjustments) if indicated and appropriate for your condition and your therapist's qualifications.

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.

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 of physiotherapy services. Check your individual insurance policy before your first appointment.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

Some temporary post-treatment soreness can be normal. However, if your pain significantly worsens, if you develop new concerning symptoms, or if the discomfort doesn't settle down within a day or two, please contact the clinic. Your Physiotherapist would want to know so they can offer guidance and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan. Open communication is key to your successful recovery.
