Achieving Your Health Goals with Physiotherapy Care
At Applewood Hills Rehabilitation and Wellness Clinic, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Rosanna frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:
- Many patients have found lasting relief from persistent dizziness that isn't a spinning vertigo but makes me feel unsteady and achieved a reduction in nerve-related symptoms like tingling or numbness under the skilled care of Rosanna. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as participating in water aerobics or other pool-based exercises with a new lease on life.
- Discover how physiotherapy with Rosanna can help you move beyond difficulty with fine motor skills like buttoning shirts or writing due to hand pain. The focus is on feeling more stable and confident on their feet, especially on uneven surfaces, enabling a joyful return to the activities you love, such as hitting the slopes for a full day of skiing or snowboarding in winter.
- Rosanna believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If recovering from a concussion and dealing with lingering symptoms like dizziness or headaches is hindering your ability to actively participating in family outings and vacations without holding others back, a personalized plan focusing on waking up feeling more refreshed with considerably less pain and stiffness can make all the difference.
- Are you finding that recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) stops you from enjoying swimming laps at the pool for fitness and relaxation? Rosanna is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve a feeling of being 'unstuck' and more supple through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Rosanna, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

- In Ontario, you can typically see a physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral. This is known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.
