At Good Health Rehab Centre, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Musab frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many patients have found lasting relief from difficulty getting out of a chair or bed due to stiffness or pain and achieved reduced swelling and inflammation in injured areas under the skilled care of Musab. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as carrying a backpack or shoulder bag comfortably with a new lease on life.
• Musab believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If pain and difficulty with overhead movements like reaching into a cupboard is hindering your ability to actively participating in family outings and vacations without holding others back, a personalized plan focusing on a better ability to cope with the physical stresses of daily life can make all the difference.
• With Musab's help, managing numbness, tingling, or weakness in my hands, arms, feet, or legs to achieve the ability to sit for longer periods (e.g., at a desk, in a car) without significant discomfort becomes a clear journey, allowing patients to confidently re-engage with life and activities like getting in and out of the car smoothly and without wincing.
• Patients struggling with my baby/child having trouble with their motor skills, like delayed rolling, sitting or walking can find dedicated and compassionate support from Musab. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving successfully avoiding or delaying the need for more invasive treatments or surgery, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as resuming their weightlifting routine at the gym safely.

Is there parking available at or near Good Health Rehab Centre?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for the designated patient spots.

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.

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

No, you do not need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in Ontario. This is known as direct access. However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.

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.

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

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services provided in private outpatient clinics. 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. You should check your private insurance coverage as many plans offer significant coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

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 Good Health Rehab Centre or your physician directly. They can provide advice, adjust your treatment plan if necessary, or determine if you need to be reassessed.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

This is very individual and depends on many factors. After your comprehensive initial assessment, your Physiotherapist will be able to give you a better idea of the anticipated number of sessions and the frequency of visits needed to achieve your specific goals. We believe in open communication and will regularly review your progress with you, adjusting the treatment plan as you improve and as needed.
