At Reactivation Care Centre - Church Street, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Renata frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many find that feeling like my joints are just 'wearing out' and getting harder to move significantly impacts their ability to hitting the slopes for a full day of skiing or snowboarding in winter. Renata helps patients target feeling more positive, capable, and optimistic about their physical health with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Patients struggling with knee pain, especially when going up/down stairs or after a run can find dedicated and compassionate support from Renata. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving greater confidence when walking, standing, or navigating challenging environments, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as playing in their competitive volleyball league again.
• Discover how physiotherapy with Renata can help you move beyond soreness and tightness in my Achilles tendon, especially after exercise. The focus is on increased flexibility throughout their body, particularly in their back and major joints, enabling a joyful return to the activities you love, such as working on detailed woodworking projects in their shop without hand pain.
• Renata believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If recovering from surgery to my hand or wrist is hindering your ability to carrying a backpack or shoulder bag comfortably, a personalized plan focusing on better managing flare-ups with personalized strategies and feeling more in control of their symptoms can make all the difference.

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.
