At Brampton Civic Hospital, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Mitesh frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• With Mitesh's help, managing my baby/child having trouble with their motor skills, like delayed rolling, sitting or walking to achieve feeling more positive, capable, and optimistic about their physical health becomes a clear journey, allowing patients to confidently re-engage with life and activities like returning to dancing, whether it's ballet, salsa, or just for fun.
• Don't let that persistent ache in my lower back that just won't quit dictate what you can and cannot do. Mitesh offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at a better ability to cope with the physical stresses of daily life, helping you reclaim walking their children to school or the park and enjoy a more functional life.
• Patients often come to Mitesh feeling defeated by a 'frozen shoulder' feeling, where my shoulder feels completely stuck. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving a significantly reduced risk of falling, enhancing safety and independence and resuming working on detailed woodworking projects in their shop without hand pain becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• The journey to feeling more energetic and less weighed down by physical discomfort when faced with persistent knee pain, especially when going up/down stairs or after a run is made smoother and more effective with Mitesh's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like challenging myself with indoor or outdoor rock climbing.
