At Meridian Spine and Joint Physiotherapy - North West London, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Pawmir frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Through personalized physiotherapy at Pawmir's clinic, common concerns like difficulty coordinating my movements, feeling clumsy are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of feeling more positive, capable, and optimistic about their physical health. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like hitting the slopes for a full day of skiing or snowboarding in winter.
• Pawmir believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If an old ankle sprain that never seems to fully heal and still feels weak is hindering your ability to working on detailed woodworking projects in their shop without hand pain, a personalized plan focusing on a reduction in nerve-related symptoms like tingling or numbness can make all the difference.
• Don't let dealing with ongoing pain and stiffness after a car accident, like whiplash dictate what you can and cannot do. Pawmir offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at feeling a substantial improvement in their mobility and range of motion for easier movement, helping you reclaim taking group exercise classes at the community center and enjoy a more functional life.
• The journey to returning to their workout routine with greater confidence and better performance when faced with persistent feeling generally stiff, achy, and less mobile than I used to be is made smoother and more effective with Pawmir's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like competing effectively in their curling league games.

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.

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?

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

Does Meridian Spine and Joint Physiotherapy - North West London 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 according to your plan. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. Always confirm your specific coverage details, including any annual maximums, per-visit limits, or deductible requirements, directly with your insurance provider, as plans vary significantly. You are responsible for any portion not covered by your insurance.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics. 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. It is strongly advised that you check your private insurance coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.
