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

• Many individuals seek help from Parth Oza, their physiotherapist, when an old ankle sprain that never seems to fully heal and still feels weak starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve learning specific exercises that provide ongoing relief and maintain their progress, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like performing self-care tasks like hair washing or reaching their back.
• Rediscover your ability to shoveling snow or raking leaves without aggravating their back without the constant burden of trouble with a constantly stiff and sore neck, making turning my head a pain. Parth Oza focuses on evidence-based treatment plans that lead to improved circulation and tissue healing, integrating various therapeutic techniques for optimal and lasting results.
• Physiotherapy with Parth Oza can be a transformative turning point for those affected by breathing difficulties and shortness of breath with COPD or asthma, especially during activity. The shared goal is achieving a greater sense of body confidence and trust in their physical abilities, paving the way for you to enjoy getting back to cycling for leisure or commuting and a more active, vibrant life.
• Patients often come to Parth Oza feeling defeated by recovering my strength and mobility after a knee or hip replacement surgery. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving running their usual distance comfortably and with improved form and resuming playing their musical instrument (guitar, piano, violin, etc.) for extended periods becomes a realistic and attainable goal.

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

Parth Oza practices at Caledon Physiotherapy Centre, situated in the Caledon East, Palgrave neighborhood of Caledon. The clinic is conveniently located near Alton Mill Arts Centre and is accessible via Peel TransHelp for eligible residents. Our clinic is accessible. Ample parking is generally accessible close to the clinic entrance.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, in almost all cases, you will receive a customized home exercise program. These exercises are carefully chosen by your Physiotherapist to specifically target your issues and help you achieve your functional goals faster and more effectively. Performing them as recommended is very important for your progress and for maintaining the improvements you make during your clinic visits.

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

Is there parking available at or near Caledon Physiotherapy Centre?

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

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

The first physiotherapy session is primarily an in-depth assessment. Expect to spend time talking with your Physiotherapist about your specific issue, its history, and your overall health background. Your therapist will then perform various physical tests to assess your movement, strength, and any areas of concern. The main goal of this first visit is to understand your condition fully so that a tailored and effective treatment plan can be developed collaboratively with you. You might also receive your first set of home exercises or some initial hands-on care to start the healing process.

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. Check your private insurance for private clinic coverage and verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).

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 physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

Physiotherapy should not be painful. While some discomfort or stretching sensation might be felt, it should not be distressing or harmful. Your Physiotherapist will adjust treatments to your comfort level.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer coverage for physiotherapy. Contact your insurer before your appointment to understand your plan's specifics (annual maximum, per-visit limits, co-payments, referral requirements, and direct billing options). If Caledon Physiotherapy Centre offers direct billing and your plan allows it, they can bill your insurer directly. Otherwise, you'll receive a receipt to submit to your insurer.
