Sreejith P Kurup

Sreejith P Kurup provides skilled physiotherapist care for a variety of health concerns, including but not limited to:

Post Surgical

• Post-Spinal Surgery Rehabilitation (e.g., Discectomy, Laminectomy, Fusion - with surgeon clearance): A carefully managed and individualized physiotherapy program to help you regain confidence in your spine, improve functional capacity, and prevent future issues after spinal surgery.
• Post-Knee Replacement Rehabilitation (Total or Partial Knee Arthroplasty - TKA/PKA): A structured physiotherapy program to manage post-operative pain and swelling, improve knee flexibility and strength, and re-educate your gait pattern after a TKA or PKA.
• Post-Hip Replacement Rehabilitation (Total or Partial Hip Arthroplasty - THA/PHA): Guidance on hip precautions (if applicable for your surgical approach), a progressive exercise program, and functional retraining after hip surgery to help you achieve your goals.

Arthritis

• Gout (Management of Musculoskeletal Impairments): Helping you regain mobility, reduce discomfort, and improve function in affected joints after a gout episode, as part of your overall gout management plan.
• Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS): A physiotherapy approach to address the unique challenges of AS, aiming to keep you as mobile and active as possible and support your spinal health and overall well-being.

Back Neck Pain

• Spinal Stenosis Symptoms: Back or neck pain accompanied by associated limb symptoms (pain, sensory changes, weakness) due to a constricted spinal canal, which physiotherapy can help manage conservatively.
• Postural Back/Neck Pain: Discomfort, aching, stiffness, or muscle fatigue in the back or neck arising from sustained or awkward postures during daily activities, prolonged work (e.g., desk work, computer use), or sleep.
• Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD): Post-traumatic neck pain, restricted movement, and associated issues common after car accidents, which benefit from early and appropriate physiotherapy intervention.
• Herniated Disc / Sciatica / Radiculopathy: Symptoms of nerve compression originating from the spine, such as a 'slipped disc' or 'pinched nerve', causing radiating pain, altered sensation, or muscle weakness in a limb.

This list offers examples of conditions commonly addressed. Diagnosis for physiotherapist is based on individual assessment, so if your specific concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic. Sree can assess your needs.

• Personalized Therapeutic Exercise Prescription: A carefully selected set of exercises specific to your condition and abilities, aimed at restoring function, reducing pain, improving movement, and preventing future issues.
• Core Stability & Strengthening Training: Targeted exercises focused on strengthening the deep abdominal, back, pelvic floor, and diaphragm muscles to provide better support for your spine, improve posture, enhance balance, and increase movement efficiency.
• Functional Movement Screening (FMS™/SFMA™ if certified): Evaluation of your body's basic movements (like squatting, lunging, reaching) to highlight areas for improvement in stability, mobility, and motor control.
• Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Assessment: An in-depth examination to fully understand your specific condition, allowing your Physiotherapist to create an effective and personalized rehabilitation plan.
• Postural Assessment and Correction: Detailed analysis of your static and dynamic posture, with tailored exercises, stretches, and advice to help you improve alignment and reduce strain on your body.
• Strength & Conditioning for Rehabilitation and Performance: Developing muscular strength and endurance to aid in injury recovery, support affected joints, improve biomechanics, and enhance athletic performance or demanding physical tasks.

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

• Struggling with the frustration of facial weakness or drooping on one side (like Bell's Palsy)? Sree develops individualized physiotherapy programs specifically aimed at achieving feeling a substantial improvement in their mobility and range of motion for easier movement. This is key to helping you get back to doing playing fetch with their dog in the park for an extended time with confidence and significantly reduced discomfort.
• It's truly rewarding for Sree to witness patients conquer dealing with pelvic pain or bladder/bowel control issues (for both men and women) and experience feeling more resilient and less vulnerable to minor strains or injuries. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in going on enjoyable fishing or camping trips again again.
• Rediscover your ability to sleeping soundly through the night without being woken by pain or discomfort without the constant burden of needing to improve my breathing patterns or lung capacity. Sree focuses on evidence-based treatment plans that lead to improved balance and coordination, leading to safer and more confident mobility in seniors, integrating various therapeutic techniques for optimal and lasting results.
• Are you finding that awful foot pain first thing in the morning, like I'm walking on glass (plantar fasciitis) stops you from enjoying keeping up with their team during our weekly soccer match? Sree is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve a better understanding of ergonomics for their work and home environment through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.

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

Sree practices at IAM Physiotherapy Clinic, situated in the Central Newmarket, Gorham-College Manor neighborhood of Newmarket.

Free patient parking is typically available on-site or nearby.

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 Ontarians. 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 waitlists may apply. Always check your private insurance coverage, as many plans offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

It's difficult to say exactly how many sessions you'll need without a thorough assessment, as everyone's situation and recovery path is unique. Some acute conditions might resolve in just a few sessions, while more chronic, complex, or significant issues may require a longer period of care to achieve lasting results. Your Physiotherapist will provide an estimated treatment timeline and plan after your first visit, and this will be revisited as your treatment progresses.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, in almost all cases, you will receive a customized home exercise program. These exercises are carefully chosen by your Physiotherapist to specifically target your issues and help you achieve your functional goals faster and more effectively. Performing them as recommended is very important for your progress and for maintaining the improvements you make during your clinic visits.

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 (direct access). However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your appointment.

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

Bring your health card, any doctor's referral letter (if applicable), imaging test results (X-rays, etc.), a medication list, and your extended health benefits information (insurance card/policy number) for direct billing if available. Wear comfortable clothing.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy uses hands-on techniques to reduce pain, increase joint movement, relax muscles, or improve nerve mobility. Techniques include joint glides, sustained pressures, massage, and joint manipulations.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

Minor soreness is normal, but significant pain increase, new neurological symptoms (numbness, tingling, weakness), or prolonged soreness require contacting the clinic or your doctor immediately.

What are IAM Physiotherapy Clinic's operating hours?

IAM Physiotherapy Clinic is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and some practitioners offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Hours may vary; call the office or check their website for the most current information.
