• At Shainy's physiotherapy practice, individuals with frequent headaches that seem to start from tension in my neck or shoulders are guided towards achieving their specific mobility goals, whether big or small.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is best for your physiotherapy appointment – think about what you might wear to a gym or for light exercise. If you're being treated for a lower-body issue (like hip or knee pain), shorts are very helpful. For upper-body issues (like shoulder or neck pain), a tank top or loose t-shirt is suitable so the Physiotherapist can properly examine and treat the area.

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?

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for coverage. Check your insurance policy before your appointment.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Absolutely! Home exercises are a vital part of your rehabilitation. Your Physiotherapist will provide exercises tailored to your needs to reinforce in-clinic work and help you continue progressing toward your goals.

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