Joint Pain

• Tendinopathy/Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles, Patellar, Rotator Cuff, Tennis/Golfer's Elbow): Persistent tendon pain that can interfere with your sports, work, or daily activities, often requiring specific loading programs and advice from a physiotherapist for effective management.
• Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine, Hands, Other Joints): A degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage and underlying bone, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility in affected joints like the knees, hips, spine, or hands.

At SE Health - London, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Priyanka frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Patients struggling with recovering from a painful and limiting work-related injury (WCB/CNESST/WorkSafe claim) can find dedicated and compassionate support from Priyanka. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving restored joint function, leading to smoother and more coordinated movements, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as dancing the night away at social events and family celebrations.
• Many find that breathing difficulties and shortness of breath with COPD or asthma, especially during activity significantly impacts their ability to returning to a specific physical hobby they had to give up due to pain. Priyanka helps patients target reduced swelling and inflammation in injured areas with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from wrist pain and tingling, possibly from carpal tunnel syndrome, especially at night and achieved feeling more positive, capable, and optimistic about their physical health under the skilled care of Priyanka. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as sitting comfortably through a movie at the cinema or a play with a new lease on life.
• For those whose swelling in my arm or leg, possibly lymphedema, after surgery or treatment has made playing a few sets of tennis without shoulder pain seem like a distant memory, Priyanka's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward feeling more resilient and less vulnerable to minor strains or injuries. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to playing a few sets of tennis without shoulder pain with greater comfort and renewed confidence.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Priyanka, 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 plans, 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.

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

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. Contact your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics (annual maximum, per-visit limits, co-payments, referral requirements, and direct billing options). If SE Health - London offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can bill your insurer directly. Otherwise, we will provide a receipt for you to submit to your insurer.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Initial assessment appointments are generally longer (45-60 minutes). Follow-up sessions are usually shorter (30-45 minutes), but the duration can vary.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy uses hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This can include joint mobilization, joint manipulation (where appropriate and within the therapist's scope and with your consent), soft tissue mobilization, and neural mobilization. The goals are to reduce pain, improve range of motion, restore joint mechanics, reduce muscle tension, and enhance tissue repair.

Is there parking available at or near SE Health - London?

Ample free patient parking is available directly in front of and beside the building. Look for the designated patient spots.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Wear or bring clothing that allows unrestricted movement and easy access for examination. For example, shorts for knee problems or a sleeveless top for shoulder issues.
