At RMT Movement, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Nasiba Ulusow frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Discover how physiotherapy with Nasiba Ulusow can help you move beyond sharp pain shooting down my leg, feeling a lot like sciatica. The focus is on sleeping more soundly through the night due to reduced pain and discomfort, enabling a joyful return to the activities you love, such as handling their job that involves frequent standing, walking, or bending.
• Living with facial weakness or drooping on one side (like Bell's Palsy) doesn't have to be your norm. Nasiba Ulusow applies expert physiotherapy knowledge to work towards feeling equipped with effective self-management strategies and exercises, so you can get back to the simple pleasure of maintaining an upright posture while working on their computer for hours.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from shoulder pain that makes simple things like lifting my arm or reaching overhead difficult and achieved being able to travel more comfortably and with less planning around physical limitations under the skilled care of Nasiba Ulusow. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as performing self-care tasks like hair washing or reaching their back with a new lease on life.
• Many find that an old ankle sprain that never seems to fully heal and still feels weak significantly impacts their ability to walking up and down several flights of stairs without issue or breathlessness. Nasiba Ulusow helps patients target successfully integrating safe movement strategies into their daily routines with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.

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. Always check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics. Verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).

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.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

Bring your provincial health card, any relevant medical information (doctor's referral, imaging reports), a list of medications, and your insurance card (if applicable). Wear comfortable clothing.

Does RMT Movement offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

While we do not offer direct billing at this time, we provide detailed official receipts that you can easily submit to your insurer for reimbursement. Bring your insurance card and confirm coverage details with your provider; you are responsible for any uncovered portion.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

This depends on many factors. After your initial assessment, your Physiotherapist will give you a better idea. We'll regularly review your progress and adjust the plan as needed.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

Temporary soreness is common. However, if you experience significant pain increase, new or worsening neurological symptoms, or prolonged soreness, contact RMT Movement or your physician immediately.
