At Sandalwood Park Nursing Home, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Nehal frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• For those whose that grinding or crunching feeling in my knee or shoulder has made travelling more comfortably on planes, trains, or in cars for longer durations seem like a distant memory, Nehal's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward improved joint health and a slowing of degenerative processes through better biomechanics. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to travelling more comfortably on planes, trains, or in cars for longer durations with greater comfort and renewed confidence.
• Patients struggling with breathing difficulties and shortness of breath with COPD or asthma, especially during activity can find dedicated and compassionate support from Nehal. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving feeling more resilient and less vulnerable to minor strains or injuries, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as participating fully in their martial arts practice, including sparring.
• Tired of that persistent ache in my lower back that just won't quit interfering with taking energetic, long walks with their dog every day? Nehal uses a blend of physiotherapy techniques to help you achieve less reliance on pain medication, trusting more in their body's ability to heal and function and regain your freedom of movement.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from awful foot pain first thing in the morning, like I'm walking on glass (plantar fasciitis) and achieved feeling a substantial improvement in their mobility and range of motion for easier movement under the skilled care of Nehal. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as going on enjoyable fishing or camping trips again with a new lease on life.

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

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 of the population. 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.

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.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Your first physiotherapy appointment, which includes a detailed assessment and the development of your initial treatment plan, usually takes about 60 minutes. Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled for 30 to 45 minutes. The exact duration of each session will depend on the nature of your treatment and what your Physiotherapist has planned for that specific visit to best help you progress.

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

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.
