At Body Works Physiotherapy, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Shraddha Rakholiya frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• It's truly rewarding for Shraddha Rakholiya to witness patients conquer post-operative stiffness and weakness that's slowing down my recovery and experience the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in walking their children to school or the park again.
• Many individuals seek help from Shraddha Rakholiya, their physiotherapist, when tendonitis pain flaring up in my shoulder, knee, elbow, or foot starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve experiencing significant pain relief, allowing for a more comfortable daily life, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like getting on and off the floor with ease.
• Many find that swelling in my arm or leg, possibly lymphedema, after surgery or treatment significantly impacts their ability to painting or drawing for longer stretches without neck or shoulder ache. Shraddha Rakholiya helps patients target resuming gardening, hobbies, or household tasks without strain or discomfort with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Don't let feeling generally stiff, achy, and less mobile than I used to be dictate what you can and cannot do. Shraddha Rakholiya offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at a safe and confident return to their favorite sport or recreational activity, helping you reclaim playing a full game of recreational hockey with their friends and enjoy a more functional life.

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

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Essentially, physiotherapy helps you get moving and stay moving effectively and comfortably. Whether you're dealing with an acute injury, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, or a condition affecting your physical abilities, your Physiotherapist will work with you. They'll use their expertise in body mechanics, rehabilitation, and pain management to create a personalized treatment plan involving exercises, hands-on techniques, and practical advice to help you achieve your functional goals and live a more active, fulfilling life.

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.

What is Body Works 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.

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.

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.
