At Women's College Hospital, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Mireille frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many find that that burning pain between my shoulder blades from too much computer work significantly impacts their ability to being able to kneel or squat down to play with pets or children. Mireille helps patients target getting back to hiking, running, or cycling pain-free and with renewed vigor with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Rediscover your ability to participating in water aerobics or other pool-based exercises without the constant burden of that persistent ache in my lower back that just won't quit. Mireille focuses on evidence-based treatment plans that lead to improved hand and wrist function for tasks requiring dexterity, integrating various therapeutic techniques for optimal and lasting results.
• Patients often come to Mireille feeling defeated by awful foot pain first thing in the morning, like I'm walking on glass (plantar fasciitis). With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving feeling a substantial improvement in their mobility and range of motion for easier movement and resuming participating in light recreational activities like bowling or mini-golf becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• Physiotherapy with Mireille can be a transformative turning point for those affected by trying to stay as mobile and active as possible while living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The shared goal is achieving sleeping more soundly through the night due to reduced pain and discomfort, paving the way for you to enjoy reaching for items on high shelves or in cupboards without shoulder strain and a more active, vibrant life.

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

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. This is known as direct access. However, while a referral isn't legally required to see a Physiotherapist, some private/extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession dedicated to helping people of all ages improve their movement, function, and overall well-being. A registered Physiotherapist uses evidence-based techniques like targeted exercise, hands-on manual therapy, and personalized education to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of injuries, pain conditions, and physical impairments affecting your muscles, bones, joints, nerves, and even your cardiorespiratory system. It can help you reduce pain, increase mobility and strength, recover from surgery, prevent future injuries, and enhance your quality of life.

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 there may be waitlists. It's essential to check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer significant coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics. You should also verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).

What is Women's College Hospital'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 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?

For your first visit, please bring your provincial health card (e.g., Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) card, if applicable), 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.
