At Scarborough Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Sanchita frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• At Sanchita's physiotherapy practice, individuals with feeling like my posture is hunched or rounded, causing discomfort are guided towards running their usual distance comfortably and with improved form. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as joining in on pickup basketball games at the local court.
• Sanchita frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of pain and difficulty with overhead movements like reaching into a cupboard. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets a smooth and confident transition back to their work duties and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like running their usual 5k route without knee pain.
• Don't let feeling generally stiff, achy, and less mobile than I used to be dictate what you can and cannot do. Sanchita offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at a smoother and stronger postpartum recovery, helping you reclaim returning to a specific physical hobby they had to give up due to pain and enjoy a more functional life.
• Are you finding that an old ankle sprain that never seems to fully heal and still feels weak stops you from enjoying feeling energetic enough to engage in social activities in the evenings? Sanchita is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.

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

Sanchita practices at Scarborough Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre, a physiotherapy clinic in the central Scarborough neighborhood of Scarborough. The clinic is conveniently located near nearby parks and community recreation facilities and is accessible via local public transit routes. Please inquire regarding specific accessibility needs for our clinic. Free patient parking is typically available on-site or nearby.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Initial assessment appointments are generally longer to allow for a thorough evaluation and discussion, typically lasting between 45 to 60 minutes. Subsequent follow-up treatment sessions are usually shorter, often ranging from 30 to 45 minutes. 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.

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 plan, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Definitely. A key aspect of physiotherapy is not just treating current problems but also preventing future ones. A Physiotherapist can assess your movement, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances that could lead to injury, and provide you with a personalized program of exercises and strategies. This proactive approach is beneficial for athletes, individuals with physically demanding jobs, or anyone looking to maintain long-term musculoskeletal health and avoid recurring pain.

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.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

Temporary soreness or a mild increase in symptoms after treatment is common. However, significant or sharp pain increase, new or worsening neurological symptoms (numbness, tingling, weakness), or prolonged soreness warrants contacting the clinic or your provider. They can advise, adjust your treatment, or determine if a reassessment is needed.
