• Patients often come to Sandeep Eikos feeling defeated by that 'pins and needles' feeling that won't go away. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving a noticeable reduction in daily discomfort, making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable and resuming keeping up with their team during our weekly soccer match becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from that persistent ache in my lower back that just won't quit and achieved successfully integrating safe movement strategies into their daily routines under the skilled care of Sandeep Eikos. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as attending and enjoying their children's or grandchildren's sporting events with a new lease on life.
• Many find that trouble with a constantly stiff and sore neck, making turning my head a pain significantly impacts their ability to giving presentations or speaking publicly with confidence and good posture. Sandeep Eikos helps patients target improved coordination for complex movements and fine motor tasks with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of managing stiffness, tremors, and movement challenges with Parkinson's disease?

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

To make your first appointment as smooth and productive as possible, please consider bringing: your health card, any doctor's referral letter (if applicable), results or reports of any imaging tests (X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs) related to your current condition, a list of any medications you are currently taking, and your extended health benefits information (insurance card/policy number) for direct billing if available at our clinic. Wearing comfortable clothes is also a good idea.

What is Triune Physiotherapy's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

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 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.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Your first appointment usually takes about 60 minutes. Follow-up appointments are typically 30 to 45 minutes long. The exact duration depends on your treatment plan.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization), but eligibility criteria are strict. Check your private insurance for coverage.
