At Active Living and Physiotherapy Centre, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Tahne Buren frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Don't let soreness and tightness in my Achilles tendon, especially after exercise dictate what you can and cannot do. Tahne Buren offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at noticeable strength gains in their limbs, supporting more demanding tasks, helping you reclaim sleeping soundly through the night without being woken by pain or discomfort and enjoy a more functional life.
• When an old ankle sprain that never seems to fully heal and still feels weak is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing playing their musical instrument (guitar, piano, violin, etc.) for extended periods, physiotherapy with Tahne Buren can help you work towards the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.
• Patients often come to Tahne Buren feeling defeated by needing help to get moving again after a long period of illness or inactivity. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving increased flexibility throughout their body, particularly in their back and major joints and resuming competing effectively in their curling league games becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• Tired of pain or weakness that's stopping me from enjoying my favorite hobbies interfering with maintaining their balance and stability while walking on uneven ground or trails? Tahne Buren uses a blend of physiotherapy techniques to help you achieve learning specific exercises that provide ongoing relief and maintain their progress and regain your freedom of movement.

What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Active Living and Physiotherapy Centre treat?

Our Physiotherapists treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, issues like back and neck pain, joint problems (such as arthritis or post-surgical recovery), sports injuries, and nerve pain. We also have therapists with specialized skills in areas like Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and general physiotherapy. Our treatments often involve patient education, manual therapy, and exercise prescription to help you achieve your functional goals.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy refers to specialized hands-on techniques used by a Physiotherapist to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This can include joint mobilization (gentle, rhythmic gliding movements), joint manipulation (skilled, high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts, where appropriate and within the therapist's scope and with your consent), various soft tissue mobilization techniques (like massage, myofascial release, trigger point release), and neural mobilization (gentle techniques to improve nerve movement). The primary goals are to reduce pain, improve range of motion, restore optimal joint mechanics, reduce muscle tension, and enhance tissue repair and function.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in ON?

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a physician's referral. This is known as direct access. However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check the specific requirements of your individual insurance policy before your first appointment.

Is physiotherapy treatment supposed to be painful?

Physiotherapy should not be painful. While you might feel some discomfort or a stretching sensation, especially initially, it should not be distressing or harmful. Your Physiotherapist will adjust treatments to your comfort level. The goal is to make you feel better, not worse.

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 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. Check your private insurance for coverage.

Is there parking available at or near Active Living and Physiotherapy Centre?
