At Timmins & District Hospital, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Raphael Delli Quadri frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• When that persistent ache in my lower back that just won't quit is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing managing shopping trips and carrying bags without excessive fatigue or pain, physiotherapy with Raphael Delli Quadri can help you work towards getting back to enjoying life's simple pleasures without physical limitations. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.
• Raphael Delli Quadri believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best.

This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as maintaining their balance and stability while walking on uneven ground or trails.
• Are you finding that that grinding or crunching feeling in my knee or shoulder stops you from enjoying going on birdwatching outings in various terrains? Raphael Delli Quadri is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve restoring normal movement patterns essential for everyday tasks through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.

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.

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.

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

Patients in Ontario 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.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

The primary goals are to reduce pain, improve range of motion, restore optimal joint mechanics, reduce muscle tension, and enhance tissue repair and function.
