At Emkiro Health Services, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Tasneem Patla frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of numbness, tingling, or weakness in my hands, arms, feet, or legs? Tasneem Patla works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of a feeling of being 'unstuck' and more supple. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as dressing myself independently and without difficulty, including shoes and socks.
• For those whose general muscle strains and pulls from overdoing it at the gym or in the garden has made joining in on pickup basketball games at the local court seem like a distant memory, Tasneem Patla's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward developing better body awareness and understanding of healthy movement patterns. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to joining in on pickup basketball games at the local court with greater comfort and renewed confidence.
• When that grinding or crunching feeling in my knee or shoulder is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing driving for longer periods without neck or back pain, physiotherapy with Tasneem Patla can help you work towards successfully avoiding or delaying the need for more invasive treatments or surgery. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.
• The journey to noticeable strength gains in their limbs, supporting more demanding tasks when faced with persistent post-operative stiffness and weakness that's slowing down my recovery is made smoother and more effective with Tasneem Patla's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like getting on and off the floor with ease.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer coverage for registered physiotherapy services. We recommend contacting your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics, including annual maximums, per-visit limits, co-payments, referral requirements, and direct billing options. If your plan allows for direct billing, we can often bill your insurer directly. Otherwise, we will provide you with a receipt for submission to your insurer.

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.

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

You can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral in Ontario. However, some insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement, so check your policy.
