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

• It's truly rewarding for Nader to witness patients conquer trouble with a constantly stiff and sore neck, making turning my head a pain and experience the ability to sit for longer periods (e.g., at a desk, in a car) without significant discomfort. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in getting back to golfing 18 holes without their back acting up again.
• At Nader's physiotherapy practice, individuals with managing stiffness, tremors, and movement challenges with Parkinson's disease are guided towards improved joint health and a slowing of degenerative processes through better biomechanics. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as reading a good book for hours without experiencing neck pain or headaches.
• Physiotherapy with Nader can be a transformative turning point for those affected by that 'arthritic' pain in my hands, hips, or knees. The shared goal is achieving effectively managing chronic pain and reclaiming an active lifestyle, paving the way for you to enjoy dancing the night away at social events and family celebrations and a more active, vibrant life.
• Are you finding that needing help to get moving again after a long period of illness or inactivity stops you from enjoying playing their musical instrument (guitar, piano, violin, etc.) for extended periods? Nader is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Nader, 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 typically do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. This is known as "direct access." However, while a referral isn't legally required to make an appointment, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider to understand their specific coverage requirements before your first appointment.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

It's difficult to say exactly how many sessions you'll need without a thorough assessment, as everyone's situation and recovery path is unique. Some acute conditions might resolve in just a few sessions, while more chronic, complex, or significant issues may require a longer period of care to achieve lasting results. Your Physiotherapist will provide an estimated treatment timeline and plan after your first visit, and this will be revisited as your treatment progresses.

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 through specific programs, such as post-hospitalization care for certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or via Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams, but eligibility criteria are strict, and waitlists may exist. Most Ontarians will need to rely on private/extended health insurance plans for coverage of physiotherapy in private clinics. It's crucial to check both your OHIP eligibility and your private insurance plan details to determine your coverage.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

In physiotherapy, manual therapy encompasses a range of 'hands-on' interventions. Your Physiotherapist may use these techniques to help reduce your pain, increase joint movement, relax tight muscles, or improve the mobility of your nerves. Common approaches include joint glides, sustained pressures, specific soft tissue massage, and, when indicated, joint manipulations. It's a key part of helping your body move better.
