  • Hip Pain (e.g., Bursitis, Muscle Strains, Labral Issues - conservative): Discomfort experienced in the hip region, groin, outer hip, or buttock, potentially stemming from joint inflammation (bursitis), muscle strains, tendinopathy, or conservative management of labral tears.

Common sites include the Achilles, patellar tendon (knee), rotator cuff (shoulder), or elbow (tennis/golfer's elbow).
  • Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine, Hands, Other Joints): Commonly known as 'wear-and-tear' arthritis, this condition affects various joints, often worsening with age, overuse, or previous injury, and can significantly impact daily function.

Arthritis

Achieving Your Health Goals with Physiotherapy Care

At Function-Ability Rehabilitation Services, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Mina Ibrahim frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

  • Mina Ibrahim frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of aches and pains that I'm pretty sure are from my bad posture at my desk. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets regaining full function in an injured area, enabling a return to cherished activities and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like managing shopping trips and carrying bags without excessive fatigue or pain.
  • When that 'arthritic' pain in my hands, hips, or knees is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing playing actively and roughhousing with their young kids or grandkids, physiotherapy with Mina Ibrahim can help you work towards returning to their workout routine with greater confidence and better performance. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.
  • Don't let widespread muscle pain and fatigue that my doctor thinks might be fibromyalgia dictate what you can and cannot do. Mina Ibrahim offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at greater ease with dressing, bathing, and other self-care activities, helping you reclaim taking long photography walks to capture nature or cityscapes and enjoy a more functional life.
  • Are you finding that difficulty moving one side of my body or walking easily after a stroke stops you from enjoying joining in on pickup basketball games at the local court? Mina Ibrahim is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve less reliance on pain medication, trusting more in their body's ability to heal and function through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.

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

Frequently Asked Questions about Physiotherapy in Vaughan

How can I book an appointment at Function-Ability Rehabilitation Services?
You can book an appointment by calling our clinic directly at (905) 764-2340 during our business hours. Our friendly reception team will be happy to assist you in finding a suitable appointment time with the right physiotherapist for your needs.
Will I be given exercises to do at home?
Absolutely! Home exercises are a vital part of your rehabilitation journey and empower you to take an active role in your recovery process. Your Physiotherapist will carefully select and teach you exercises specific to your needs. These exercises help to reinforce what's done in the clinic, manage your condition effectively, and ensure you continue progressing towards your goals even when you're not in a session.
What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?
During your first visit, the Physiotherapist will conduct a detailed evaluation to get a full picture of your condition. This usually involves a thorough discussion about your symptoms, how they impact your daily life, any relevant medical history, and your personal goals for therapy. A physical assessment will then be performed to help pinpoint the cause of your problem and assess your physical capabilities. Afterwards, your therapist will explain their findings, collaborate with you to set treatment goals, and outline a proposed plan of care. You'll likely receive some initial advice, exercises, or hands-on treatment to begin your recovery journey.
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 plans, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.
What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?
Manual therapy refers to specialized hands-on techniques used by a Physiotherapist to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This can include joint mobilization (gentle, rhythmic gliding movements), joint manipulation (skilled, high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts, where appropriate and within the therapist's scope and with your consent), various soft tissue mobilization techniques (like massage, myofascial release, trigger point release), and neural mobilization (gentle techniques to improve nerve movement). The primary goals are to reduce pain, improve range of motion, restore optimal joint mechanics, reduce muscle tension, and enhance tissue repair and function.
Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?
Definitely. A key aspect of physiotherapy is not just treating current problems but also preventing future ones. A Physiotherapist can assess your movement, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances that could lead to injury, and provide you with a personalized program of exercises and strategies. This proactive approach is beneficial for athletes, individuals with physically demanding jobs, or anyone looking to maintain long-term musculoskeletal health and avoid recurring pain.
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 types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Function-Ability Rehabilitation Services treat?
Our Physiotherapists treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, issues like back and neck pain, joint problems (such as arthritis or post-surgical recovery), sports injuries, and nerve pain. We also have therapists with specialized skills in areas like Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and Geriatric Physiotherapy / Seniors' Health. Our treatments often involve Geriatric Physiotherapy & Seniors' Health, Rehabilitation for Age-Related Deconditioning & Loss of Autonomy, and patient education to help you achieve your functional goals.
