Achieving Your Health Goals with Physiotherapy Care

At Lifemark City Centre Physiotherapy, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Simoni Bhagat frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

  • Living with difficulty moving one side of my body or walking easily after a stroke doesn't have to be your norm.

  • Physiotherapy with Simoni Bhagat can be a transformative turning point for those affected by that nagging tennis elbow (or golfer's elbow) that flares up with activity. The shared goal is achieving feeling empowered to take control of their physical health journey, paving the way for you to enjoy tackling home renovation and DIY projects with confidence and a more active, vibrant life.
  • Patients often come to Simoni Bhagat feeling defeated by feeling 'off-balance' and worried about falling, especially as I get older. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving improved ability to lift and carry objects correctly and safely and resuming carrying a backpack or shoulder bag comfortably becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
  • Many find that wrist pain and tingling, possibly from carpal tunnel syndrome, especially at night significantly impacts their ability to engaging in volunteer work that might have physical demands.

Frequently Asked Questions about Physiotherapy in Mississauga

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?
During your first visit, the Physiotherapist will conduct a detailed evaluation to get a full picture of your condition. This usually involves a thorough discussion about your symptoms, how they impact your daily life, any relevant medical history, and your personal goals for therapy. A physical assessment will then be performed to help pinpoint the cause of your problem and assess your physical capabilities. Afterwards, your therapist will explain their findings, collaborate with you to set treatment goals, and outline a proposed plan of care. You'll likely receive some initial advice, exercises, or hands-on treatment to begin your recovery journey.
Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?
Yes, absolutely! Physiotherapy plays a significant role in injury prevention and managing recurring pain. Your Physiotherapist can identify underlying risk factors such as muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, postural issues, or biomechanical inefficiencies. By addressing these through targeted exercises, education on proper body mechanics, ergonomic advice, and activity modification, physiotherapy can help reduce your risk of initial injury, prevent re-injury, and manage chronic conditions more effectively, keeping you active and healthy.
What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?
Some temporary post-treatment soreness can be normal, much like after a good workout. However, if your pain significantly worsens, if you develop new concerning symptoms, or if the discomfort doesn't settle down within a day or two, please call us. Your Physiotherapist would want to know so they can offer guidance and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan. Open communication is key to your successful recovery.
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. This is known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for coverage of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider to understand their specific requirements before your first appointment.
Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?
The Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available through specific programs, such as post-hospitalization care for certain conditions or for specific populations like children, youth, or seniors, often through Community Physiotherapy Clinics or Family Health Teams. Eligibility criteria are strict and waitlists may apply. To determine your eligibility for publicly funded physiotherapy, please contact OHIP directly. Most people utilize private insurance coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics, so it's essential to check your private health insurance plan for details on coverage.
