At Alliston Physiotherapy & Sports Rehabilitation, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Margi patel frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of swelling in my arm or leg, possibly lymphedema, after surgery or treatment? Margi patel works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of seeing their child achieve developmental milestones with greater ease (for pediatric physio). This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as taking group exercise classes at the community center.
• Margi patel frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of feeling like my joints are just 'wearing out' and getting harder to move. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets a renewed sense of vitality and enthusiasm for daily activities and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like sleeping soundly through the night without being woken by pain or discomfort.
• The journey to a noticeable reduction in daily discomfort, making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable when faced with persistent my child complaining of 'growing pains' that keep them up at night is made smoother and more effective with Margi patel's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like cycling longer distances with their cycling club.
• Through personalized physiotherapy at Margi patel's clinic, common concerns like persistent dizziness that isn't a spinning vertigo but makes me feel unsteady are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of experiencing significant pain relief, allowing for a more comfortable daily life. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like maintaining their balance and stability while walking on uneven ground or trails.

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. Always check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

The first physiotherapy session is primarily an in-depth assessment. Expect to spend time talking with your Physiotherapist about your specific issue, its history, and your overall health background. Your therapist will then perform various physical tests to assess your movement, strength, and any areas of concern. The main goal of this first visit is to understand your condition fully so that a tailored and effective treatment plan can be developed collaboratively with you. You might also receive your first set of home exercises or some initial hands-on care to start the healing process.

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.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Essentially, physiotherapy helps you get moving and stay moving effectively and comfortably. Whether you're dealing with an acute injury, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, or a condition affecting your physical abilities, your Physiotherapist will work with you. They'll use their expertise in body mechanics, rehabilitation, and pain management to create a personalized treatment plan involving exercises, hands-on techniques, and practical advice to help you achieve your functional goals and live a more active, fulfilling life.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

In physiotherapy, manual therapy encompasses a range of 'hands-on' interventions. Your Physiotherapist may use these techniques to help reduce your pain, increase joint movement, relax tight muscles, or improve the mobility of your nerves. Common approaches include joint glides, sustained pressures, specific soft tissue massage, and, when indicated, joint manipulations. It's a key part of helping your body move better.
