At Body n' Balance Physio & Wellness Clinic, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Sheena Chapman frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many patients have found lasting relief from tendonitis pain flaring up in my shoulder, knee, elbow, or foot and achieved less reliance on pain medication, trusting more in their body's ability to heal and function under the skilled care of Sheena Chapman. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as getting in and out of the car smoothly and without wincing with a new lease on life.
• Struggling with the frustration of general muscle strains and pulls from overdoing it at the gym or in the garden? Sheena Chapman develops individualized physiotherapy programs specifically aimed at achieving improved overall mobility, making it easier to navigate their home and community. This is key to helping you get back to doing driving for longer periods without neck or back pain with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.
• Sheena Chapman believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If knee pain, especially when going up/down stairs or after a run is hindering your ability to easily carrying groceries in from the car in one or two trips, a personalized plan focusing on enhanced ability to participate in social and community events can make all the difference.
• Many find that feeling unsteady on my feet or experiencing dizziness and balance problems significantly impacts their ability to pushing a stroller or shopping cart without difficulty. Sheena Chapman helps patients target waking up feeling more refreshed with considerably less pain and stiffness with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.

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

The clinic is conveniently located near nearby parks and community recreation facilities and is accessible via local public transit routes.

Is there parking available at or near Body n' Balance Physio & Wellness Clinic?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for the designated patient spots.

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

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

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows the Physiotherapist to easily access and assess the area being treated, and permits you to move freely for any exercises or movements. For example, shorts are ideal for knee, hip, or ankle issues, while a tank top or loose t-shirt works well for shoulder, neck, or upper back problems. Athletic wear or gym attire is generally a good choice. You may also be provided with a gown if needed.

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.

How long do physiotherapy appointments typically last?

Initial assessment appointments are generally longer (45-60 minutes). Follow-up appointments are usually shorter (30-45 minutes), but the duration can vary.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes, absolutely! Physiotherapy can identify underlying risk factors and address them through targeted exercises, education, and ergonomic advice to reduce injury risk and manage chronic conditions.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your first appointment involves a comprehensive assessment: discussion of your history, symptoms, and goals; a physical examination; a clinical impression/diagnosis; and discussion of a personalized treatment plan.

What are Body n' Balance Physio & Wellness Clinic's operating hours?

Our clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Some practitioners offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Hours can vary, so please call or check our website for the most current information.
