At Ross Memorial Hospital, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Pramod frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Don't let needing help to get moving again after a long period of illness or inactivity dictate what you can and cannot do. Pramod offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at getting back their independence with daily activities and personal care, helping you reclaim getting back to golfing 18 holes without their back acting up and enjoy a more functional life.
• Pramod believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If difficulty moving one side of my body or walking easily after a stroke is hindering your ability to being able to kneel or squat down to play with pets or children, a personalized plan focusing on a feeling of being 'unstuck' and more supple can make all the difference.
• Through personalized physiotherapy at Pramod's clinic, common concerns like trouble performing repetitive tasks at work without pain are thoroughly assessed and addressed with the objective of increased flexibility throughout their body, particularly in their back and major joints. This often involves a combination of in-clinic treatment, education, and self-management strategies, helping people to once again enjoy activities like getting in and out of the car smoothly and without wincing.
• The path to recovery from an awkward gait or limping when I walk and achieving being able to climb stairs with ease and confidence once again for participating in community events and social gatherings more actively often starts with expert guidance. Pramod, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.

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

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy refers to specialized hands-on techniques used by a Physiotherapist to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This can include joint mobilization (gentle, rhythmic gliding movements), joint manipulation (skilled, high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts, where appropriate and within the therapist's scope and with your consent), various soft tissue mobilization techniques (like massage, myofascial release, trigger point release), and neural mobilization (gentle techniques to improve nerve movement). The primary goals are to reduce pain, improve range of motion, restore optimal joint mechanics, reduce muscle tension, and enhance tissue repair and function.

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

To make your first appointment as smooth and productive as possible, please consider bringing: your health card, any doctor's referral letter (if applicable), results or reports of any imaging tests (X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs) related to your current condition, a list of any medications you are currently taking, and your extended health benefits information (insurance card/policy number) for direct billing if available at our clinic. Wearing comfortable clothes is also a good idea.

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 (direct access). However, some extended health insurance plans may require a referral for coverage. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

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) but eligibility is strict. Check your private insurance for coverage.
