At Myofascial Release Mississauga, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Nelin Krull frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Nelin Krull frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of loss of strength in one of my limbs after an injury. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets sleeping more soundly through the night due to reduced pain and discomfort and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like driving for longer periods without neck or back pain.
• Many find that an awkward gait or limping when I walk significantly impacts their ability to getting back to cycling for leisure or commuting. Nelin Krull helps patients target improved overall mobility, making it easier to navigate their home and community with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• If that persistent ache in my lower back that just won't quit is preventing you from fully enjoying standing for longer periods, for example, while cooking or at an event, Nelin Krull offers expert guidance and tailored treatment. Physiotherapy focuses on attaining improved hand and wrist function for tasks requiring dexterity, often utilizing targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education to help you regain your previous level of function.
• The journey to feeling more stable and confident on their feet, especially on uneven surfaces when faced with persistent recurrent dislocations or a feeling of instability in my shoulder or knee is made smoother and more effective with Nelin Krull's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like carrying a backpack or shoulder bag comfortably.

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

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral. This is known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for coverage of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider to understand their specific requirements before your first appointment.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Initial assessment appointments are generally longer to allow for a thorough evaluation and discussion, typically lasting between 45 to 60 minutes. Subsequent follow-up treatment sessions are usually shorter, often ranging from 30 to 45 minutes. However, the duration can vary depending on your specific needs, the complexity of your condition, the type of treatment being provided, and the treatment plan designed by your Physiotherapist.

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.

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

Some temporary post-treatment soreness can be normal, much like after a good workout. However, if your pain significantly worsens, if you develop new concerning symptoms, or if the discomfort doesn't settle down within a day or two, please call us. Your Physiotherapist would want to know so they can offer guidance and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan. Open communication is key to your successful recovery.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, a personalized home exercise program is a crucial and integral component of most physiotherapy treatment plans. Your Physiotherapist will prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition, abilities, and goals. These exercises are designed to complement your in-clinic treatment, help you manage your symptoms effectively between sessions, accelerate your recovery, and empower you with tools for long-term self-management. Your active participation in your home program is key for optimal results.

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, such as 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. It's essential to check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer significant coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

Physiotherapy should not be painful. While you might feel some discomfort or a stretching sensation as you work to regain movement or strength, especially in the initial stages of treatment, it's rarely 'painful' in a distressing or harmful way. Your Physiotherapist will guide you through each step, modify treatments to suit your comfort and tolerance, and ensure that the overall experience is positive. The ultimate aim is to make you feel better, not worse.
