Post Surgical

Joint Pain

• Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine, Hands, Other Joints): A chronic condition causing joint discomfort, stiffness (especially in the morning or after inactivity), and impacting your ability to perform daily activities, walk, or engage in hobbies.
• Tendinopathy/Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles, Patellar, Rotator Cuff, Tennis/Golfer's Elbow): Pain, tenderness, swelling, and dysfunction in a tendon (the strong cords that attach muscles to bones) due to overuse, repetitive strain, injury, or degeneration. Common sites include the Achilles, patellar tendon (knee), rotator cuff (shoulder), or elbow (tennis/golfer's elbow).

Common Musculoskeletal

• Neck Pain and Stiffness: Aching, soreness, or sharp pain experienced in the neck, which may include muscle spasms, trigger points, or reduced flexibility.

• Neural Mobilization Techniques (Nerve Gliding): Gentle, specific movements and mobilizations designed to address nerve-related pain (like sciatica or carpal tunnel symptoms), tingling, numbness, or restrictions by improving the nerve's ability to glide freely and reducing irritation.

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

• If soreness and tightness in my Achilles tendon, especially after exercise is preventing you from fully enjoying working on detailed woodworking projects in their shop without hand pain, Meghan McRoberts offers expert guidance and tailored treatment. Physiotherapy focuses on attaining feeling more like their 'old self' before their injury or condition began, often utilizing targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education to help you regain your previous level of function.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from that nagging tennis elbow (or golfer's elbow) that flares up with activity and achieved feeling empowered to take control of their physical health journey under the skilled care of Meghan McRoberts. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as using garden tools effectively and without pain with a new lease on life.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of a 'frozen shoulder' feeling, where my shoulder feels completely stuck? Meghan McRoberts works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of resuming gardening, hobbies, or household tasks without strain or discomfort. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as feeling energetic enough to engage in social activities in the evenings.
• Living with recovering my strength and mobility after a knee or hip replacement surgery doesn't have to be your norm. Meghan McRoberts applies expert physiotherapy knowledge to work towards increased endurance for walking, allowing for longer and more enjoyable outings, so you can get back to the simple pleasure of playing in their competitive volleyball league again.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Meghan McRoberts, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy, delivered by a qualified Physiotherapist, is a science-based profession that focuses on restoring movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness, or disability. It can also help to reduce your risk of future problems. Your physiotherapist will use techniques such as therapeutic exercise, manual therapy (hands-on treatment), education, and advice, empowering you to manage your health independently and achieve your physical goals.

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

It's not uncommon to experience some temporary soreness or a mild increase in symptoms after certain physiotherapy treatments, especially in the initial stages or if you're starting new exercises. This usually subsides within 24-48 hours. However, if you experience a significant or sharp increase in pain, new or worsening neurological symptoms (like numbness, tingling, or weakness), or if your soreness lasts longer than expected, it's important to contact ReActive Physiotherapy or your physician directly. They can provide advice, adjust your treatment plan if necessary, or determine if you need to be reassessed.

What is ReActive Physiotherapy's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments (no-shows) without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

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

To make your first appointment as smooth and productive as possible, please consider bringing: your health card, any doctor's referral letter (if applicable), results or reports of any imaging tests (X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs) related to your current condition, a list of any medications you are currently taking, and your extended health benefits information (insurance card/policy number) for direct billing if available at our clinic. Wearing comfortable clothes is also a good idea.

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

In Ontario, you 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.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization), but eligibility criteria are strict. Check your private insurance for coverage.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Initial assessment appointments are generally longer, lasting between 45 to 60 minutes. Follow-up sessions are usually shorter, ranging from 30 to 45 minutes. The duration can vary depending on your needs.
